High-profile Wellington philanthropist Sir Mark Dunajtschik gave $25,000.
The Herald had earlier revealed the rich lister had soured on Chung in July, publicly withdrawing his support and condemning the mayoral hopeful after revelations Chung sent an email detailing an unsavoury sexual rumour about Mayor Tory Whanau.

A further $10,000 came from The Thorndon Group, owned by businessman Wayne Coffey, who also gave Chung $10,000.

Another $5000 came through company EA Rate Ltd, owned by David Black.
NME Group Ltd, which describes itself as Wellington’s largest electrical, mechanical and service solution providers, gave Better Wellington $5000.
A donation of $35,000 came from Tirohanga Ltd, a company which has been removed from the companies register, as well as $5000 from an organisation called The Houghton Limited, which does not appear on the register.
Only donations over a $1500 threshold must be declared under electoral rules.
Of the $157,000 declared, Better Wellington spent $95,995, largely on billboards, posters, and other advertising.
The group thinned throughout the campaign, with three candidates cutting ties after Chung’s email scandal.
Only Andrea Compton, who left the group, and Chung were elected to the council.
It was also criticised for its social media presence which saw attacks on rival candidates and left-wing councillors, including one post which labelled Councillor Rebecca Matthews a “retard” and “grift monkey”.
