Al Sharpton tweeted about a performance by Prince and Stevie Wonder. Earnest added that the Obamas paid for the party, but declined to say how much it cost. The Obamas reportedly invited 500 guests, including lobbyists, CEOs, and director Tyler Perry and actress Angela Bassett, the New York Post reported.
