Infographic from indiegogo.com gives a closer look at the numbers for the record-breaking fundraiser.

Over $450,000 raised in 24 hours from over 100 countries and 20,000 people...those are just some of the fascinating numbers from the record-breaking "Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum" fundraiser on indiegogo.com .

Indiegogo, the campaign site which hosted the fundraiser by web comic creator Matt Inman, provided an infographic with an in-depth look at the numbers once the goal was surpassed at $873K.

There was an average of $100 donated per minute, with donations coming from all 50 states and 102 contries. The most common contribution amount was $25, and the largest single contribution was $35,000.
