I'm unaware of America's contribution rules, but I think I recall Entertainment Tonight doing election coverage last year, and their 'report' was on how much coin celebrities contributed to Mac's and Obama's campaigns.
The numbers ran in the tens of thousands, so I was under the impression that individuals weren't really limited in their donations. Then again, a quick search says that the maximum donation to candidates is $4,600 bucks.
I'm confused now lol.

They get around the limits using what are called Political Action Committees. They basically give the money to someone else to donate for them. It's a facilitated loophole.
