The former tech entrepreneur raked in $16.5 million in campaign contributions in the final three months of 2019.
Andrew Yang ended 2019 on a high note with one of the largest fundraising surges in the Democratic presidential primary.
In fact, Yang had a higher percentage increase than some of the race's leading candidates, such as former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, even though they brought in more cash. He was second only to Amy Klobuchar, whose fundraising skyrocketed 138 percent between the last two quarters of the year.
Sanders topped the field with $34.5 million in total donations raised during the final quarter, a 36 percent increase from his $25.3 million cash haul the previous quarter. According to the Sanders campaign, $18 million came in from 900,000 individual donations in December alone.
