Tonight, Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein will host an exclusive fundraiser for President Obama on his $15.5 million beachfront estate according to the Hartford Courant.

Only about 50 plan to attend the event which costs $35,800 per person. The event is co-hosted by actress Anne Hathaway and producer Aaron Sorkin. Earlier in the evening, Obama will attend a fundraiser featuring musician Ben Harper.

Hathaway starred as Catwoman in the Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises. Sorkin is the creator and producer of HBO’s The Newsroom.

President Obama has personally attended over 30 fundraisers in this election cycle featuring Hollywood actors, producers or famous singers.
