We're talking 2-6 people tops, maxing out their contribution who work from each of those companies. But I'm betting Bernie's gotten a bunch of smaller contribs from Amazon workers, rather than having Bezos max out for him...

Heck, if all of the Bernie contributors here at DU had the same employer, we'd be his second largest donor on that list.
