She was only in Los Angeles for one day, but Hillary Clinton was able to raise a remarkable $3 million for her presidential campaign.
Clinton went to three different events Thursday, including an evening reception at the Beverly Hills home of Haim and Cheryl Saban where guests paid $2,700 a piece to get in, The Hollywood Reporter says. That affair raised $1.9 million, while a fundraising lunch in Pacific Palisades brought in more than $810,000 and a morning event raised $270,000.
At the lunch — attended by Hollywood heavyweights like Norman Lear and Chuck Lorre at the home of Steven and Dayna Bochco — Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) introduced Clinton, who answered questions for about 15 minutes. She discussed income inequality, The Hollywood Reporter says, and stated that she would work to "give all the people in this country the same opportunities my granddaughter would have." On Friday, Clinton will head to Northern California for a fundraiser at the home of eBay CEO John Donahoe and his wife Eileen, a former ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
