Gov. Cuomo has amassed a $16 million war chest for 2018 with big bucks from Hollywood, a Walmart heiress and New York City power brokers, according to filings with the state on Friday.

The gifts total about $5 million in the past six months and he spent $1.7 million of it, including $300,000 on legal fees while Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara probed his closing of the Moreland Commission investigating corruption in Albany. No charges were filed against Cuomo.

Film mogul Steven Spielberg gave $10,000 and Walmart heiress Alice Walton gave $60,000. Billionaire investor Ronald Perelman and his wife gave $85,000.

Others filing reports include the Legislature’s convicted ex-leaders: In the past six months, Sheldon Silver spent $1.4 million in donations on his defense and Dean Skelos spent $762,000.
