He's certainly not short of support for his re-election campaign.
Just 24 hours after Barack Obama was thrown a lavish fundraiser by Jay-Z and wife Beyoncé at the rapper's New York 40/40 club, another fundraiser was being held for the U.S. President on the other side of the Atlantic.
Gwyneth Paltrow was in charge of hosting the Obama Victory Fund 2012 event at the exclusive Mark's Club in London on Tuesday night.
She was joined by designer Tom Ford and Anna Wintour in hosting duties for the fundraising event, which aims to help secure victory for Obama at the November election.
Tickets for the event cost £9,000 each, while donors were also invited to join the 'host committee' for a reported £24,000.
President of the United States Barack Obama certainly has got celebrity star power to call on.
He said about the hosts of Tuesday night's fundraiser in New York. 'To J and B, thank you so much for your friendship. Beyoncé could not be a better role model for my girls because she carries herself with such class and poise and has so much talent.
'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 OK.'
Last month, he revealed that he's a huge fan of their music, and he regularly listens to them on his iPod.
He also added that he turns to a Beyoncé track during his fitness sessions.
He told the hosts of Albuquerque’s KOB-FM: 'I will say right now that if I'm really trying to get my heart rate up, Crazy In Love is a pretty good song to work out to.'

Boy they sure act like their up 8 Points by Pew < sarc
These fashionable one percenters are in dire need of having their wealth redistributed. Just pool it together for the poor to share, for the baby mamas with 5 out of wedlock children living in section 8 housing to take some
Empty headed Lib hos.
Sure seems to spend more time with the 1% than the 99%. Bunch of commie libs who need to be taxed at 99% to help understand communism.
Pray for America
Will they auction off his toe nail clippings to the highest bidder?
Will they salivate over life size poster-board images of their idol?
This is really creepy!
I BO running out of donors?
He’s had the hip-hop moguls fundraiser before, and he’s had the Wintour/Paltrow fundraiser before, along with Sarah Parkersomething.
He’s got Weinstein in Hollywood as well.
Same names every month.
Raising money over seas? I thought our campaign finance laws had something negative to say about that...
Also, didn’t Bush take some flak from liberals for accepting PAC money from multi-National companies?
Some mornings, it’s just not worth the effort of chewing through the straps to get out of bed...
Most Hollyweird and other celebs will naturally be drawn to the “hip” candidate. Even when the hip candidates are doofuses like Carter, Mondale, and Dukakis. Does anyone believe either Paltrow or Diaz have ever read all the way through a serious book in their lives? Or the great majority of Hollyweird libs unless it was a biography of Che Guevara or some similar panegyric to a leftist idol? In short, we’re talking about exceptionally vapid airheads who get paid gazillions for strutting around showing off their physical attributes while reciting words on a cue card.
But has she had a taxpayer-funded abortion? That's Obama's plan for his daughters' future.
That's a remarkably absurdist statement ... and yet (I'm rather old) I remember all those candidates' being presented as hip and cool.
Do I really want political advice from people who get along in life because of the attributes of their ‘person’.... and not because they are accomplished intellectuals who have read AT LEAST as much as I have ...(to be fair) not the SAME things I read, but AT LEAST as much???
Do I???? N O T
If they spent as much time working on what's between their ears as they spend at the gym or putting paint on their faces, we could have a conversation... until then, forget it!
How about a three way? Love, Bill.
Not the first time - George Clooney had a fund-raiser in Switzerland.
Are the guests all American?
It’s unseemly and hypocritical but why should that stop them?
Image is the only reason Hollywood liberals vote Democrat. Rush was right about this the other day. Democrats - “modern”, “progressive”, support women’s right to kill their own babies.. truly the party of the modern era. Republicans — “old fashioned”, “regressive”, uncool, want to keep women oppressed.. That to them is the extent of Democrat vs Republican. Policies do not matter because the wealth accumulated from feigning emotions and reciting lines in front of a camera keeps them insulated from the effects of policies.
I think Diaz lies about her age that is one harsh picture.
Hollywood sure loves obama. Whatever happens — they own him.
A plague on both their faces.
Being millionaires, I’m sure they have houses to spare.
