The biggest funding raised was for Tezos : https://www.forbes.com/sites/omribarzilay/2017/07/15/tezos-232-million-ico-may-just-be-the-beginning/#30a09e714c52
Second biggest as of right now was Eos: https://venturebeat.com/2017/07/01/185-million-in-5-days-block-one-sets-new-ico-record-with-its-eos-token/
These raises seem pretty damn insane if you asked somebody 6 months to a year ago in crypto. Now it is leading but who knows, in 2-3 years time this kind
of raise may just be standard. I heard of one in the works that may try and raise 500m+
