Five mega-donors and their wives are responsible for one in every $17 dollars that have been spent on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

The Clinton campaign proper and SuperPAC Priorities USA had raised a combined $1.14 billion by the end of September, filling their coffers to the brim with the help of the Democratic candidate's wealthy friends and national labor unions.

A Washington Post assessment of Clinton's fundraising found that a fifth of the money that went to her campaign directly or was donated through her joint fundraising committee, the nominating convention host committee, her PACs and the Democratic Party came from 100 individuals or unions.

Major donors to her bid included, hedge fund manager Donald Sussman, who donated $20.6 million and investor J.B. Pritzker, whose sister is the current Secretary of Commerce, and his wife, M.K.. The Pritzkers were responsible for $16.7 million; in donations.

Univision chairman Haim Saban and his wife Cheryl gave $11.9 million, while hedge fund manager George Soros wrote checks in the amount of $9.9 million.

SlimFast founder Daniel Abraham gave another $9.7 million, rounding out the top five.

Sussman told the Washington Post his hearty giving is a means to an end.

'It’s very odd to be giving millions when your objective is to actually get the money out of politics,' he said.

'I am a very strong supporter of publicly financed campaigns, and I think the only way to accomplish that is to get someone like Secretary Clinton, who is committed to cleaning up the unfortunate disaster created by the activist court in Citizens United.'

Leaked emails published by Wikileaks show that Clinton and her aides were concerned about the amount of money that could flow to her Republican opponents.

Before Clinton had even launched her campaign Huma Abedin told Robby Mook she was worried about Jeb Bush's massive haul.

A month after she announced Clinton raised the issue of Republican fundraising and lax regulation from the Federal Election Commission with her campaign.

Her campaign chairman, John Podesta replied, 'We should also ask BHO to do more in light of this, although they are kind of prissy about how they approach this.'

He was referring to President Barack Obama.

Manager Robby Mook told her, 'I think we focus hard on raising as much as we can and then throw the kitchen sink at everyone who we believe steps over the line, understanding that has limited impact.'

The Service Employees International Union also made a $1 million donation to the Clinton PAC, Priorities, last fall after the candidate backed a 'living wage' increase.

Clinton's campaign also let lobbyists raise money for them, including ones who represented foreign actors after an internal debate involving nearly all the candidate's senior staff. The discussion concluded with communications director Jennifer Palmieri saying Clinton should, 'Take the money!!'

Clinton's $1.14 billion campaign already exceeds the $1.123 billion that went to Obama in 2012, according to Politico, and the $1.019 billion that went to Mitt Romney.

She continued to fundraise at a breakneck pace in October and has several more appearances on the books before the Nov. 8 election.
