Sheldon Adelson, R, (Wikipedia)- 21.5 billion
(5.25 million / 21.5 billion)

Jeffrey Katzenberg, D, (Forbes)- 1 billion
(2.25 million / 1 billion)
net worth donation: 0.00225
John Paulson, R, (Wikipedia)- 15.5 billion
(1.1 million / 15.5 billion)
net worth donation: 0.0000709677419
J.W Marriott Jr., R, (Forbes)- 1.3 billion
(.75 million / 1.3 billion)
net worth donation: 0.000576923077
Stephen Bing, D, (Wikipedia)- 590 Million
(0.5 million / 590 million)

*THIS* is why the conservatives consistently oppose campaign finance reform.
