The founder of the satellite firm Loral Space and Communications, Bernard Schwartz became a major donor to the Democratic National Committee in the 1990s. After the 1996 election, those donations figured in a federal investigation after Bill Clinton approved of U.S. satellite launches by Chinese rockets, including a Loral satellite. The investigation did not lead to charges for Schwartz, however, and he remained a loyal donor to Clinton.

A publicity-shy media businessman from DeKalb, Ill., Fred Eychaner has long been one of the biggest donors to the Democratic Party. He made his money in newspaper publishing, and later radio and television, helping to fund a same-sex marriage effort in the state in Illinois, along with groups like the AIDS Foundation and Equality Illinois. He told the National Journal that he supported Hillary Clinton over Obama in the 2008 primary because of loyalty, and her position on gay-rights issues. “I am a basic social activist with small-business experience,” he said.

The billionaire businessman behind the Slim-Fast diet empire, S. Daniel Abraham has long focused his philanthropic efforts on Israel, including founding a Center for Middle East Peace in Washington, D.C., which bears his name. At the think tank’s founding in 2010, Hillary Clinton called Abraham “my dear friend.” “I don’t know how many times Danny called my husband in the 1990s,” Clinton continued, “or how many times he called and said he had to come see me in the Senate or come see me in the State Department. But the message is always the same: You must persist;peace requires you to persist.”

Born in Egypt and raised in Israel, Haim Saban struck it rich after importing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to American television screens. Worth an estimated $3.5 billion, he is now the executive chairman of the parent company for Univision, the American Spanish-language broadcaster. An avid supporter of Israel, he founded the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution. “Seeing her in the White House is a big dream of mine,” he has said about a Hillary Clinton presidency. President Obama appointed his wife, Cheryl, to a largely ceremonial position at the United Nations in 2012.

Shortly after the billionaire businessman Edgar Bronfman Sr. died in 2013, Hillary Clinton spoke at a memorial service in his honor. She described a meeting she had arranged in 1996 between her husband and Bronfman, who then owned the liquor company Seagram and Son, which she said lead to years of negotiation over the return of Holocaust assets held by Swiss Banks. “He exuded a confidence and honesty that won him the friendship and support of Presidents and Popes and people everywhere,” Clinton said of the former president of the World Jewish Congress. His son, Edgar Bronfman Jr., has continued his legacy of political giving, making it difficult to distinguish their donations in federal records. The campaign donation totals above include both men.

A New Jersey born real estate developer, David S. Steiner was serving as president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in 1992, when he was caught on tape boasting of his closeness to the future president. He resigned his post, saying he had misrepresented his ties to the President, but a relationship persisted nonetheless in the years that followed. In 2006, Bill Clinton awarded Steiner the lifetime achievement award of the National Jewish Democratic Counsel.

The Jaws and Indiana Jones director has long been a major donor to Democratic causes. He built a personal relationship with the Clintons through the 1990s, even golfing with Bill when he was President. In 2013, Bill presented Spielberg’s movie Lincoln at the Golden Globes, and in 2009 Bill was on hand to give Spielberg the Liberty Medal at the U.S. Constitution Center. Also in 2013, Hillary traveled to Hollywood to be honored by the International Medical Corps, at event for which Spielberg and Capshaw were co-chairs.

A co-founder of the Esprit clothing line, Susie Tompkins Buell is a liberal philanthropist, who has long counted herself as a personal friend of Hillary Clinton. She led Clinton campaign fundraising efforts in 2008 for the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2011, Buell led a protest against the Keystone XL pipeline during a fundraising visit by President Barack Obama, telling the San Francisco Chronicle, “I don’t know where he stands on anything.” A year later, both Bill and Hillary attended her birthday celebration in Brooklyn.

The grandson of a New York Real Estate magnate, Stephen Bing inherited a reported $500 million when he turned 18, and has used that money to invest in Hollywood, real estate, liberal politics and the Clinton family. His movie credits include writing “Kangaroo Jack,” producing “The Big Bounce,” and investing $80 million in “The Polar Express.” Bill Clinton used Bing’s Boeing 737 plane to return two American reporters from North Korea in 2009. That same year, Bing attended Bill Clinton’s 63rd birthday party at a Las Vegas steakhouse, with Saban, according to the New York Times.

During Bill Clinton’s presidency, California supermarket investor Ron Burkle became a major donor to the Democratic National Committee. By 2002, Burkle and Clinton were close friends and business partners, with Clinton working as an investment adviser to Burkle funds and earning at least $15 million for his work. “He’s invaluable,” Burkle said of Clinton in a 2004 interview with Vanity Fair. Those business ties were cut, however, before Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign for president, when reports of Burkle’s bachelor lifestyle and the foreign investors threatened Hillary’s campaign hopes. Burkle remained a donor to the 2008 Hillary campaign.
