    Would you pay 10k to have a photo op with Michelle?

    First Lady Asks for $10K Photo Fee

    How much would you pay to have your picture taken with First Lady Michelle Obama?

    When she travels to Chicago next week to tour Chicago food deserts with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and later host a fundraiser at Plumber's Hall, she will be asking for a pretty penny.

    The going rate for a photograph at the near West Side fundraiser with the First Lady is $10,000 for a family of up to six members.

    Tickets alone range from $100and up for the Oct. 25 event.

    $100 - Limited Availability Gen44 Tickets
    $500 - General Admission
    $7,500 - Host (write or raise)
    $1,000 - Preferred Section
    $10,000 - Family Photo Reception (max 6 in photo)

    Funds will be contributed to the Obama Victory Fund and the Democratic National Committee.

    This is the third 2012 fundraising swing through Chicago for the Obamas. In April, Obama kicked off his reelection bid at Navy Pier. Then in August Obama celebrated his birthday at the Aragon Ball Room.

    Mayor Rahm Emanuel was featured prominently at both events.

    No lol no. I don't think so. If I ever want a picture that much I'll download one & have it photoshopped. I can think of much better uses for $10,000.

    Somehow I don't buy that she's not going to be pocketing some of that for her own materialistic purposes.

    HELL NAW!! If I came up on 10g's, sure as hell it wouldn't be spent on a picture with Michelle Obama, or any celebrity for that matter.
