<p>Probably not, seeing as the <em>Vogue</em> editor in chief was just announced <a href="http://politicker.com/2012/09/anna-wintour-is-one-of-obamas-biggest-fundraising-bundlers/">as being the fourth-biggest fund-raiser</a> for Barack Obama's re-election campaign in a document released to <em>The New York Times</em>. But this was due in no small part to the $40,000-dollar-a-plate dinner she held over at Sarah Jessica Parker's house back in June: that event raised approximately <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/Decoder-Wire/2012/0615/Obama-fundraiser-at-Sarah-Jessica-Parker-s-house-How-d-it-go-video">$2,000,000 on that night alone</a>.</p>
<p>Now the president and first lady of hip-hop want to give the editrix a run for her money.<br />

On September 18, the duo will be <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/click/2012/09/jayz-beyonce-lets-reelect-obama-135393.html">holding a fundraiser for President Obama</a> at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in the Flatiron District. The event will also charge $40,000 aplate, but the scoop from Page Six says that they will cap the number of guests at 100 ... meaning that they expect <em>more</em> than that to try and show up. If they reach their capacity, the duo could end up raising $4 million for the president's re-election campaign, putting him leagues ahead of Anna Wintour, or even Andrew Tobias for that matter.</p>
