How Much Does Chelsea Clinton Get Paid In Speaking Fees? It's Less Than Her Parents But Still More

[bobthedrummer]

Than You'd Expect (Alex Gladu 2015)

"Like mother, like daughter?"

http://www.bustle.com/articles/95370-how-much-does-chelsea-clinton-get-paid-in-speaking-fees-its-less-than-her-parents-but

Fair question, as are all in the context of transparency and trust.

[Fresh_Start]

1. Paris Hilton got $750,000 and was offered $1,000,000

speaker fees are just another form of celebrity worship

[TheBlackAdder]

57. Like with the Palins, it's also a way to legally funnel money to a family with minimal work effort.

[lapucelle]

77. Chelsea donates 100% of her fees

to the Clinton Foundation.

And their are no members of her family listed as "advisers" in her FEC filings and collecting 1% style salaries

[bobthedrummer]

108. Are you certain?

[cali]

2. at this point, posts such as yours are counterproductive.

[insta8er]

18. Why? care to elaborate?

[bobthedrummer]

100. In your opinion. n/t

[1StrongBlackMan]

3. How much does bobthedrummer get paid for bobbing and/or drumming?

[choie]

33. At least Bob provides music...

what the hell does Chelsea provide?

[1StrongBlackMan]

37. Presumably happiness to her family ...

and more good, through the Clinton Foundation, than either of us will if we live 3 lifetimes.

[choie]

43. Speak for yourself

I'm a social worker. We (social workers) may be paid crap, but we help many many people.

[1StrongBlackMan]

46. Yes ... Social workers do really good work (some of them) for really crappy pay; but, it is folly ..

to even tell yourself the lie, that you touch as many or more lives than Chelsea through the Clinton Foundation.

[choie]

49. You're right

But social workers actually deal with clients personally- Chelsea Clinton is a fundraiser - she uses her name and doesn't have to go into the muck and mire, save for some photo ops. To say that she "helps" people is a stretch. She cashes in on her name - to benefit others AND herself and is able to get tax breaks by contributing to her own foundation.

[1StrongBlackMan]

50. Tell me ...

do the beneficiaries of Chelsea's "cashing in on her name", give any more of a damn that she cashed in on her name, and got paid and tax credits, for doing so, than they do that YOU receive (crappy) pay for going into the muck and mire to provide your benefits?

[choie]

54. I'm not talking of how "beneficiaries" see her

I am responding to your painting her as a "do-gooder". Don't make her out to be selflessly helping the masses. That foundation is a payday for the Clintons.

[pnwmom]

67. None of the Clintons are taking salaries from the foundation and they all

are donating to it. So there goes that theory.

[choie]

79. Salaries are not the way to be compensated

[pnwmom]

80. And cash donations are not the only way to help. They've also been giving freely

of their time.

[choie]

82. Yeah that's the Clintons...

Selflessly and altruistically giving their time to help others..

[840high]

83. .....

[pnwmom]

65. People don't make a profit through their "tax breaks" to charities.

When you give to a charity, you get a deduction for a fraction of what you gave -- not for more than what you gave. So getting a tax break means you're not paying taxes on a PORTION of what you gave away.

[Florencenj2point0]

64. really, do you feed and house thousands? provide medical

care for thousands more? No, I didn't think so. I am betting you don't have several Doctorates either. Anyone ever tell you jealousy will eat you up from the inside out?

[choie]

95. Oh please- it has nothing to do with jealousy

and everything to do with my disgust towards people who are held up as virtuous when in reality their foundation is a scam and a virtual money laundering operation. The Clintons do nothing without being well compensated in one way or another - with money, power or access. If you don't want to see that, keep the blinders on.

[pnwmom]

59. Some people would enjoy hearing Chelsea speak more. I'm one of them. n/t

[choie]

60. Why?

[pnwmom]

62. She has masters degrees from Oxford and Columbia (in public health)

and a PhD in International relations.

She has traveled all over the world and led an interesting life. I would be very interested in hearing her talk about it.

Much more interested than listening to some drummer.

[Florencenj2point0]

66. Doctorates

and I agree she would be very interesting to listen to.

[choie]

96. And more interesting than responding

to insults from DUers.

[bobthedrummer]

99. Not enough to buy a $27,000.00 plate at a Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation "fundraiser"

For some of the Clinton's inner circle, like Chelsea's pal Cheryl Mills, it's easy.

[1StrongBlackMan]

102. Neither do I ...

but then, I'm not asking how much she is paid for giving a speech.

[bobthedrummer]

103. Johnny Young, Mike Bloomfield, Big Walter Horton, Berkley Fudge, and many others would disagree

have a great weekend 1SBM.

[1StrongBlackMan]

104. Who are they? And, Why should I care that they care how much Chelsea gets for a speech?

[Txbluedog]

4. I love these Sanders supporters pretending...

That Bernie and Jane would not jump at the chance to earn that much on the speakers circuit if someone would have them

[jg10003]

14. Members of Congress cannot legally accept fees for speeches

[choie]

97. They wouldn't take the money

from Wall Street or other like entities, that's for sure

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I have to agree with the point my friend made in Post#2

What do you think?

[emulatorloo]

6. Agree w Cali. Wondering, do you have got any good oppo research on Trump?

Because that would make very interesting reading I bet.

[msongs]

7. no gdp. she is not a candidate in a primary nt

[bobthedrummer]

8. Chelsea was a big factor in the realignment of The Clinton Foundation after Eric Braverman "quit".

I am asking the same questions that MOST people are and MOST of US need to have our TRUST earned.

11. All power to the People-like our Constitution says politicaljunkie41910. It's simple as that. n/t

[choie]

26. Bob - Shame on you - don't you know

that we are no longer able to discuss the Clintons' shady and unseemly doings..we must only sing their praises.

[bobthedrummer]

27. mea culpa, choie

[choie]

31. Keep on speaking out until you can't, Bob

[bobthedrummer]

38. The pressure waves from the drums goes beyond the voice.

[Florencenj2point0]

69. Be responsible for yourself

if you think tRump would be an okay president and you don't give a flying fuck about the poor people, women, POC, LGBTQ and Seniors who would be hurt by his presidency, by all means do not vote for Hillary. Nobody has to earn your trust or your vote. Put on your big boy underroos.

[bobthedrummer]

106. I am, and I'm not alone. Thanks for participating.

[geek tragedy]

12. do you have anything negative to say about Trump? nt

[eastwestdem]

13. Is the amount of payment the issue? I thought it was being bought by special interests. nt

[Lil Missy]

15. Chelsea isn't running for office. And it's none of your business.

[bobthedrummer]

16. It is everyone's "business" Lil Missy she is a public figure and part of the Clinton Foundation. n/t

[Lil Missy]

19. No she isn't a public figure. And her slary has nothing to do with HRC being POTUS.

Hillary is the nominee. Get over it.

[bobthedrummer]

21. Perhaps you just don't know what a public figure is-Chelsea is one. Bye-bye.

[Lil Missy]

23. Good riddens

[840high]

84. She is/was part of the campaign.

[Lil Missy]

91. Irrelevant. She's not a public figure.

[840high]

92. That made her a public figure. 'nite

93. no it didn't. look it up yourself. She is not obligated to divulge financial info.

22. I, for one, care. n/t

[Florencenj2point0]

73. well some people are just nosey parkers.

remember that neighbor in "I dream of Genie"?

[840high]

85. I care.

[MineralMan]

20. What possible relevance can this have to the presidential campaign.

Chelsea Clinton isn't running for anything. She's an adult, a private citizen, and is not running for office.

I'm not sure what your intentions are with this, but I fail to see any relevance to DU's GD-P forum.

[SidDithers]

24. She gets paid what people are willing to pay her...

How much does Miggy Cabrera get paid to hit baseballs?

How much does Jennifer Lawrence get paid to act in movies?

How much does Bruno Mars get paid to play a concert?

29. Hillary and Chelsea are not paid more than most speakers...

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/11/1537582/-The-most-thorough-profound-and-moving-defense-of-Hillary-Clinton-I-have-ever-seen?detail=email2&link_id=2&can_id=dbb0d69c584cc3d0a04f63b55f76c85f&source=email-trump-nailed-229-years-ago-by-alexander-hamilton-2&email_referrer=trump-nailed-229-years-ago-by-alexander-hamilton-2&email_subject=trump-nailed-229-years-ago-by-alexander-hamilton

3) Money — OK let’s talk about her money. Hillary has a lot of it. And she has earned most of it through well-paid speaking fees. And the idea of getting paid $200,000 or more for a single speech seems so ludicrous to many people that they assume that it simply must be some form of bribery. But the truth is that there is a large, well-established and extremely lucrative industry for speaking and appearance fees. And within that industry many celebrities, sports stars, business leaders and former politicians get paid very well. At her most popular for example, Paris Hilton was being paid as much as $750,000 just to make an appearance. Kylie Jenner was once paid over $100,000 to go to her own birthday party, and to this day Vanilla Ice gets $15,000 simply to show up with his hat turned sideways.

And let’s talk about the more cerebral cousin of the appearance agreement, which is the speaking engagement. Is $200k really that unusual? In fact “All American Speakers”, the agency that represents Clinton, currently represents 135 people whose MINIMUM speaking fee is $200,000. Some of the luminaries that get paid this much include: Guy Fieri, Ang Lee, Carla Delevingne, Chelsea Handler, Elon Musk, Mehmet Oz, Michael Phelps, Nate Berkus, and “Larry the Cable Guy”. And no that last one is not a joke. And if you drop the speaking fee to $100k, the number of people they represent jumps to over 500. At $50,000 the number jumps to over 1,200. And All American Speakers are obviously not the only agency that represents speakers. So there are in fact thousands of people getting paid this kind of money to give a speech.

For millions of Americans struggling to pay their bills, the very idea that someone can make $100,000 or more for just giving a speech or hanging out at a Vegas nightclub is obscene. But as Richard Nixon used to say, “don’t hate the player, hate the game.” Hillary didn’t invent the speaking engagement industry, and she isn’t anywhere near the first person to make a lot of money from it. And while her fees are in the upper range of what speakers make, neither they nor the total amount of money she has made are unusual. It’s just unusual FOR A WOMAN.

And yes, I’m back on that, because I feel compelled to point out that before he ran for President in 2007, Rudy Giuliani was making about $700,000 a month in speaking fees with an average of $270k per speech. It’s estimated that in the 5 years before his run he earned as much as $40 million in speaking fees. Nobody cared, no accusations of impropriety were made, and there was almost no media interest. So why did Giuliani get a pass, while Hillary stands accused of inherent corruption for making less money doing the same thing?

[Florencenj2point0]

72. Thank You Sancho, I am so sick of this SEXIST BULLSHIT

hear that bernie dude and dudettes. This is sexist nonsense and while you may or may not be sexist, not that you have read and understood the above post, if you continue to push this argument, then your are indeed sexist.

[bobthedrummer]

32. Hook, line and sinker for those that aren't critical questioners when following the money networks

imho. Wow.

[MFM008]

34. Why rag on Chelsea?

35. Yawn

36. You've got til Monday.

Bustle.com? Are you serious?

[bobthedrummer]

40. I love the truth no matter where it is found-since when is searching for it crap-old timer?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. She's paid as much as the market thinks she's worth

Which given her Ivy League status and famous name is a lot

[bobthedrummer]

41. Like a commodity, huh?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. Yes, like most of us who work and are paid are

[Florencenj2point0]

75. just like you

[2cannan]

47. Remember this, bob?

After Hillary claims the Clintons aren't 'realIy rich' Chelsea (who's married to a hedge funder, lives in a $11m home, and is paid $600,000 for doing nothing) says 'I tried to care about money but I couldn't'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2666265/I-tried-care-money-I-says-Chelsea-Clinton-married-hedge-funder-lives-11m-home-paid-600-000-NBC-doing-nothing.html

Chelsea Clinton lives a charmed life, but don't be fooled: secretly, she's not attached to the oodles of money she and her hedge fund manager husband make each year, the former first daughter said in an interview published over the weekend.

Philanthropy is her true passion, Clinton said, and that's why she permanently left Wall Street to join the Clinton Foundation, which she runs with her parents, former first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton.

'I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,' Clinton told The Telegraph. 'That wasn’t the metric of success I wanted in my life.'

Love one of the comments: Let her try to survive on minimum wage then we will see if she does not care about money...

[bobthedrummer]

48. Yep.

[840high]

87. I remember.

[tonyt53]

51. A speaker is paid based upon their life experiences. The more celebrity, the more paid.

Bernie just isn't much in demand when trying to fit that criteria.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. Also senate rules prohibit this. He couldn't get this

Sort of engagement and keep his job

[tonyt53]

55. I know, and that is why I said "meet the criteria". Nobody will want him.

[pnwmom]

68. It's been illegal for decades for a member of Congress to give paid speeches. n/t

[840high]

88. What life experiences does

Chelsea have to be paid so much?

[bobthedrummer]

110. "The more celebrity, the more paid."

[LynnTTT]

52. How much does Ivanka get paid?

How much does Eric Trump get paid for theoretically running the Trump golf course in Charlottesville?
This has zip to do with anything.

[SharonClark]

56. LOL - when will Sanders release his taxes?

Chelsea is not running for office.

[-none]

61. Right after Hillary releases her transcripts.

What is she telling Goldman Sachs for $250,000 to $350,000 a speech?

[pnwmom]

70. She has always said she won't release her transcripts till ALL the candidates,

including the Rethugs, do so. Trump hasn't.

Bernie, on the other hand, firmly promised months ago to release multiple years of tax returns during the primaries. And he failed to keep his promise.

Hillary has had 30 years of personal tax returns made public, and the Foundation's tax returns have also been public since its inception.

[Hekate]

58. Do you understand the purpose of a Keynote speaker at a conference?

Whether the event is big or small, you want a Name that will draw attendees. Sure you can get some Nobody to lecture the crowd, but why would they want to spend the big bucks to come listen to the nobody? That's what the break-out sessions are for.

But it's just so much more gratifying to pretend ignorance of these realities.

[Florencenj2point0]

63. She is a private citizen, why is it any of our business?

she gets whatever the market will pay.

[jalan48]

71. I've read around $75,000 per speech.

Not sure what she says that people want to hear though.

[pnwmom]

74. She has a masters in Public Health and a Phd from Oxford

in International Relations, and she's traveled all over the world and led a very unusual life.

Many people would be interested in hearing her.

What I can't understand is why anyone's willing to pay Larry the Cable guy $200K for a speech.

[840high]

89. She says "My name is Clinton".

[jalan48]

90. Ka-Ching!!!!!

[yawnmaster]

78. How will the answer to that question help advance society in a positive direction? I am...

seriously interested in that strategy.

[bobthedrummer]

98. Chelsea's position at the Clinton Foundation and some of it's controversial history deserves a post

before you go off and pay $27,000.00 for a plate of food to hear her speak for about 10 minutes before the picture taking of about 30 minutes. Networking is very different at that level-but very rewarding for some.
