The first $2,700 will go directly to the Clinton campaign, with the rest — as per the rules — collected for the broader Democratic Party.
DiCaprio surely won’t be the only show biz luminary on hand. Jennifer Lopez, Harvey Weinstein and Tobey Maguire were also mentioned among those that could be in attendance.
This, of course, won’t be the first time Hollywood elites make it rain for Clinton. Earlier this year, tickets for two seats at the table with the Clooneys and Hillary went for about $353,000 — even George had to admit it was an “obscene” amount of money.
A day before the DiCaprio event, Clinton will already have gotten a big Tinseltown boost to her war chest. Power Rangers billionaire Haim Saban is hosting an event at his Beverly Hills home on August 22 — the 14th Hollywood fundraiser since she announced her bid for the White House last year, according to Deadline. Heavy hitters like Disney DIS, +1.02% boss Bob Iger and DreamWorks DWA, -0.02% CEO Jeff Katzenberg are expected to attend.
