Obama tickets most expensive event ever.

 

 

Celebrities have paid big money with hopes to attend Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony next month.

 

Island DefJam’s L.A. Reid has paid $50,000; Magic Johnson paid $25,000; Steve Ballmer CEO, of Microsoft, added $100,000; tech billionaire Rick Aversano, $50,000; and add to the list also as the ‘That 70s Show’ creators Bonnie and Terry Turner ($100,000).

      

Although the money is considered a “donation” many critics believe it to be “a one-way ticket to the White House”.

 

Notable and vocal supporter Oprah Winfrey has not disclosed her donation amount, but it is believe to be more than $1 million.

 

Oprah is the largest donor but so far Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have each paid $50,000 to attend the ceremony.  Also contributing $50,000, are Jamie Lee Curtis , Ron Howard, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jamie Foxx.
