Clooney raises $15m for Obama re-election bid

George Clooney raised almost $15m (€12m) for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign at the actor’s Los Angeles home in May.

And yesterday, Clooney was in Geneva, a centre for international organisations, governance and business.

Organisers expect to pull in a more modest amount of $500,000 (€400,000) from US donors for Obama’s campaign, with many flying in to Geneva from around the world.
