http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/bruce-jenner-to-return-to-motivational-speaking-amid-transition-2015304Bruce Jenner is taking his story on the road. After coming out as transgender in a much-lauded interview with Diane Sawyer on April 24, the former Olympian is now preparing for an E! series documenting his transition and, as a source revealed in the May 4 issue of Us Weekly, a revival of his motivational speaking career.
"It was very lucrative for him in the past," an insider told Us of Jenner, 65, who earned around $5,000 per event in the late 1970s, "and now he has a whole new audience."
Indeed, life coach Seth Rainess suggested to Us that "Bruce will be in greater demand than anybody. He could make tens of thousands per engagement."
The money isn't the main draw, though. As Jenner said during his interview with Sawyer, "What I'm doing is going to do some good. And we're going to change the world. I really firmly believe that. We're going to make a difference in the world with what we're doing."

Hopefully, it'll be done well too.

Since he says he's not in it for the money. You know, the tv interviews, the tv show, the motivational speaking for thousands per engagement. I'm sure he is willing to donate most of it towards transgender charities and organizations put in place to help the transgender community.
Somehow as a repub, and basically a kardashian family member, I doubt that, and tend to believe he will enjoy the money just fine, and has no intention of doing anything except spend it.
But at least it's not the main draw.
