Just from values listed in this article. As it notes, it doesn't cover everybody.

Total net worth of Dem donors listed: $B 173.4
Total net worth of Rep donors listed: $B 580.5

So listed Rep donors have 3.3 times the net worth of listed Dem donors.

Percent of respective net worths tied to one guy:
Dems: 60.6% (Bloomberg)
Reps: 58.9% (Musk)

Total Fed race donations (in $M):
Dems: 1512
Reps: 2440

Rep donations 60% more than Dem donations at Fed level.

Total State race donations (in $M):
Dems: 368.1
Reps: 494.3

Rep donations 34% more than Dem donations at State level.
