A first-of-its-kind Democratic fundraiser featuring Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and a plethora of celebrity guests has sold out.  

Some tickets sold for little as $250 but high-profile perks, including getting your picture taking with the three presidents by the world-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, cost $100,000. 

Those who donated at the $250,000 and $500,000 levels will have special invites to separate receptions with the presidential trio.

Thursday's fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York is expected to raise more than $10 million with at least 3,000 people in attendance.

Anna Wintour, Mindy Kaling and Queen Latifah will be among the all-star guests. Joining them will be Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michelle, a campaign official told DailyMail.com.

The gala event is a contrast to the everyman image Biden portrays on the campaign trail, where he speaks of his humble upbringing in Scranton, Penn. 

First Lady Jill Biden will kick off the evening, which culminates in a conversation among the three presidents, moderated by none other than Late Night's Stephen Colbert.

Of all the performers, Lizzo may be the most controversial pick. The singer faces accusations of sexual harassment and discrimination by three of her former backup singers, which she denies.

Democrats are bragging it could be the biggest fundraising night in party history. 

'This is going to be the biggest fundraising event that Joe Biden has done in his political career. I believe it's the largest fundraising event in Democratic Party history,' Biden Victory Fund Finance Chair Chris Korge told NBC. 

'It's also the only time that three [Democratic] presidents have done a [campaign] fundraiser together.' 

Biden-Harris Campaign Co-Chair Jeffrey Katzenberg and Biden-Harris Campaign Finance Chair Rufus Gifford also worked on the event.

The incumbent president has far outraised his Republican rival Donald Trump.

Trump's campaign and his Save America political action committee, two key committees in his political operation, reported raising a combined $15.9 million in February and ended the month with more than $37 million on hand, 

Biden's campaign, meanwhile, raised $53 million last month and ended February with $155 million on hand. That includes his joint fundraising with the Democratic National Committee. 

Thursday's fundraiser was the brainchild of the event was onetime Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry, a longtime Democratic donor, and his son Alex, a former Senate candidate in Wisconsin.

In 2012, the Lasrys hosted Clinton and Obama at a joint New York fundraiser. 

'For people who are involved in politics, for people who love politics, the opportunity to be with the last three Democratic presidents … is something that's unique. It'll be, for all of us, probably the only time we get to do that in our lifetime,' Marc Lasry told NBC News.
