Donors include the governments of Saudi Arabia, Australia, Norway, Kuwait and Qatar, The Washington Post reported.
A list of about 205,000 donors was made public as a part of an agreement between President-elect Barack Obama and Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, Obama's pick for U.S. secretary of state.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Australian government's overseas aid program and a Dominican Republic government agency that fights AIDS each gave between $10 million and $25 million to the William J. Clinton Foundation, the newspaper said.
Norway gave between $5 million and $10 million, while Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar each gave between $1 million and $5 million. The Jamaican and Italian governments each donated between $50,000 and $100,000.
Nearly 90 percent of the Clinton Foundation's gifts are valued at $250 or less, with 12,000 people giving $10 or less. The median gift amount is $45.
"I want to personally express my deepest appreciation to our many contributors, who remain steadfast partners in our work to impact the lives of so many around the world in measurable and meaningful ways," Clinton said in a statement.
