A recent analysis of celebrity political donations reveals that many high-profile figures are not contributing as much as they publicly support their chosen candidates. For instance, Taylor Swift has only donated $15 since 2014, while Elon Musk has given $330,700 this year.

Dana White leads Republican donations with $2.35 million, while George Clooney tops Democratic contributions at $1.39 million. Notably, some celebrities, like Roseanne Barr and Hulk Hogan, have not made any financial contributions despite their vocal support for their parties.

The report also highlights that some notorious figures, such as Harvey Weinstein, have made significant donations to Democrats, totaling $580,000, despite their legal troubles. This contrasts with the limited financial support from many celebrities who publicly endorse candidates.
