It’s not every day you see more than one president in the same place — and it’s especially rare to see three. So when PresidentsJoe Biden,Barack ObamaandBill Clintonjoined forces at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on Thursday evening for a conversation with late-night hostStephen Colbert, it’s no surprise that big things happened.
Tickets for the event ranged from $225 on the low end to as high as $500,000 with all the VIP perks. To get a photo with all three commanders-in-chief at the event, guests were looking at a $100,000 price tag.

Biden, Obama and Clinton comprise half of allliving U.S. presidents. The other Democrat in the group — 99-year-oldJimmy Carter— has beenin hospice carefor more than a year, and while RepublicanGeorge W. Bushis on good terms with his liberal counterparts, he would be an unusual guest to find at an explicitly Democratic fundraiser.

Donald Trump, meanwhile, also passed through New York City on Thursday for unrelated reasons, and attended the wake of a slain police officer on Long Island hours before Biden’s fundraiser began.
