The guest list was top secret for President Obama's $30,000-a-head Harlem fund-raiser the other night. But sources tell us that those who helped raise more than $1 million for Obama included financier Orin Kramer of Boston Provident, New York State Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs with wife Mindy, Chelsea Piers president Tom Bernstein, and Evercore Partners' Ralph Schlosstein and wife Jane Hartley. Also there: White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and Rep. Charlie Rangel, who did not have to pay.

Tonight, about 50 financiers, businesspeople and Washington elite will gather for an exclusive dinner in New York City's Red Rooster Harlem.
A spokesman for the Democratic National Committee says the event, where Obama will chat with guests about everything from the economy to conflicts in Libya and the Middle East, is expected to raise about $1.5 million for the organization. Though the committee wouldn't divulge the relatively small guest list, a source says many of the President's supporters dating back from 2007 and 2008 are expected to attend.
They include:
President and co-founder of Chelsea Piers LP Tom Bernstein and wife Andrea. Indeed, there's a ring of irony to this, given that Roland Betts, who founded Chelsea Piers with Bernstein in 1995, is one of George W. Bush's best friends. The two were classmates and fraternity brothers at Yale University and Betts was the lead owner in Bush's Texas Rangers partnership.
Also attending is Evercore Partners (EVR) President and CEO Ralph Schlosstein and wife Jane Hartley, co-founder of the Observatory Group, an economic and political advisory firm. Prior to entering the private sector and running the New York City-based investment bank, Schlosstein served in the public sector for many years. In the mid-1970s, he was an economist for the Congressional Joint Committee and then went on to work in the Carter Administration – first as deputy to the assistant secretary of the Treasury Department and later as associate director of the White House Domestic Policy staff.
Under the Carter Administration, Schlosstein worked with financier Orin Kramer, also an expected guest. Kramer is a general partner of the hedge fund Boston Provident, LP.
