Beyonce' and Jay-Z hosted a $40,000-per ticket fundraiser at Jay-Z's 40/40 club. Approximately 100 people attended. An one attendee stated:
"the couple’s sports-club affair as taking place in a “large, dark glassy room” filled with donors, who paid $40,000 each, wearing suits and dresses, and sitting on sofas. The reports continues, “Small tables of wine, champagne and finger food, including sliders, were in front of them.”
The President spoke highly of the power couple:
“Let me just begin by saying to Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship. We are so grateful. Michelle and Malia and Sasha are mad at me because they are not here. (Laughter.) That doesn’t usually happen. Usually they’re like, we’re glad you’re going—we don’t need to go. But every time they get a chance to see these two they are thrilled, partly because they are just both so generous, particularly to my kids. And Malia and Sasha just love both of them.
Beyoncé couldn’t be a better role model for our daughters because she carries herself with such class and poise—(applause)—and has so much talent. And Jay-Z now knows what my life is like. (Laughter.) We both have daughters, and our wives are more popular than we are. (Laughter and applause.) So we’ve got a little bond there. (Laughter.) It’s hard, but it’s okay. It’s okay. (Laughter.)"
