On Wednesday night, Beyoncé supported Hillary Clinton by attending her fundraiser event in New York City, Bloomberg [reports](http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-05-13/from-listening-tour-to-fundraising-frenzy-manhattan-moguls-embrace-hillary-clinton). A Beyoncé fan account tweeted the following photo: > [](https://twitter.com/TheBeyHiveTeam/status/598625905645264896) Other high-profile attendees included Sharon Osbourne, Meghan Trainor and Epic Records CEO LA Reid, who hosted the event. Each attendee was expected to give $2,700, leaving Clinton with some $1.1\. million. Money’s great and all, but once you’ve got the support of the Queen, that’s kind of all you need.
