So that it seems fame sells, or at least rises status or improve opinions!
In this article from last month, we understand that in every presidential campaign several famous people, being mostly actors and singers, support their favorite candidates.
The greatest endorsement anyone could get is in this case Oprah Winfrey, the wealthiest African-American. Oprah is selling Obama, and this weekend Winfrey will set a precedent by hosting a political fundraiser at her 42-acre, $50m estate outside Santa Barbara. The recipient of her largess - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama - could see as much as $3m (£1.5m) flow into his campaign as a result. Even Stevie Wonder is understood to be among the performers booked for the event.
At CNN's Larry King, Winfrey, said: "My money isn't going to make any difference. My value to him - my support of him - is probably worth more than any other cheque that I could write." And with these simple words Winfrey could make a difference for Obama in his efforts to catch up with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front runner.
Money calls money, and a president = power comes along!
