President Obama's campaign has widely promoted their fundraiser with George Clooney ' and it's officially sold out. It's expected to rake in a rather hefty sum, too: up to $12 million, which would make it the biggest presidential fundraiser in U.S. history, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

From THR:
One hundred fifty high rollers ' including Hollywood studio heads, celebrities and an array of entertainment industry execs ' have paid $40,000 apiece to dine with the president at Clooney's Studio City home May 10. DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg, the president's major entertainment industry fundraiser, has been spearheading the event along with Hollywood political consultant Andy Spahn.
The dinner, on May 10, is likely to bring in $5 million to $6 million, which added to $6 million tally of online donations, could bring the total figure to around $12 million.
What's more? Apparently the demand was so high, 'that organizers tried to limit the guest list to those living in Southern California.'
