Celebrity endorsements in the 2012 presidential campaign

Jeffrey Katzenberg  

The CEO of DreamWorks Animation dropped a whopping $2 million donation to the super-PAC Priorities USA Action, a pro-Democratic group founded by two former Obama aides. Katzenberg told USA Today, "The stakes are too high for us to simply allow the extremism of a small but well-funded right-wing minority to go unchallenged." He was also listed by the Obama campaign as one of its “bundlers,” meaning he’s helped raise more than $500,000 to get the president reelected.
