Jay Z and Beyonce Raise $4 Million for Obama


About a week ago news spread that Jay Z and Beyonce were holding a $40,000 a plate fundraiser at the 40/40 Club for President Obama's re election campaign [click here if you missed that].

Welp, the big ticket dinner pulled in a cool $4 million...

During his address President Obama said Beyonce had been very generous with his daughters and that she couldn't be a better role model for his children and thanked Jay Z and Beyonce for their friendship.

The President also joked about his bond with Jay Z telling the crowd,
"We both have daughters and our wives are more popular than we are. So, you know, we've got a little bond there. It's hard but it's okay."
Michelle Obama was not present.
