Want a photo with Hillary Clinton? That'll cost $2,700.
Say cheese — but hand over two grand first. At an upcoming "Silicon Valley Celebration" with Hillary Clinton next month, donors will have the opportunity to partake in a "brief photo op" with the Democratic primary frontrunner — but it'll cost "one adult and two children" an extra $1,700 on top of their $1,000 "family" ticket, bringing the cost to a steep $2,700, Pando reports.
Co-hosted by political blogger Michelle Kraus at the home YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, the Silicon Valley fundraiser aims to raise $27,000 for Clinton's campaign. Clinton would only have to do 10 photo ops to reach that fundraising goal.
Don't need a picture? Individual "supporter" tickets start at $500 — no selfies allowed.
