Who Are Washington's Most Expensive Speakers?
Recently, we’ve taken a look at some of the details surrounding speeches made by Bill and Hillary Clinton. As discussed in April, Goldman Sachs paid Bill Clinton nearly a quarter of a million dollars for a speaking engagement before lobbying Hillary’s State Department in an effort to secure $75 million in financing for a Chinese company that would later purchase aircraft from a Goldman-owned manufacturer.
Seperately, we outlined Hillary Clinton’s keynote speech requirements which include the customary $225,000 plus a “chartered roundtrip private jet”, $1,000 for a stenographer, and a host of other “incidentals.”
But the Clintons actually come cheap compared to a certain former Fed chair. Here’s a look at speaking engagement rates for some well-known former and current US officials (and one real estate magnate whose relevance to this list isn't immediately discernable):

Yes, but Bernanke only accepts gold in payment.
WTF Chelsae Clinton gets paid to speak???? About fucken what ??? boy the system is really at the end
You get a Blow Job thrown in though SD.
And how exactly is that a benefit?
That's like paying extra at a zoo to fuck a curly red haired baboon spawned from Satan's own cunt.
Seriously, that thing supposedly came out of Hillary's cunt. I can't think of ever wanting to put my dick in anything that's been near that thing.
And the sad part? They got absolutely nothing to say.
It's amazing to see how many still wonder what these people are being paid for. Of course it's not for anything they have to say. Trump may have a certain celebrity value, but in most cases, speaking fees are a rather obvious work around to bribery laws. More often than not, the services in question have already been rendered, but it can also be used to funnel money to a politician (or her daughter) for prospective favors.
The minute the economy cracked, all these problems got worse, almost overnight.
Hey, Chelsea is a world renowned expert on diarrhea.

For sure she is not scared to spout verbal diarrhea...
You get a Blow Job thrown in though SD.
I'd be asking for a refund.
Chelsea = member of the lucky sperm club.
does that make Monica Lewinsky a member of the lucky "spermed" club
You get a Blow Job thrown in though SD.
Wait. I gotta' give her a blowjob too? What kind of Kafkaesque nightmare is this?
Well she does have those puffy cheeks which can store a lot of cum.
Let me make a wild guess. She uses a Telepromter.
I can't imagine why anyone would give that horse faced, arrogant spoiled brat any attention. She and her mother should study the demise of another arrogant bitch, Marie Antoinette.
Miffed
Christine Lagarde = Marie Antoinette II
"Let them eat Debt"
diarrhea
it's a topic she's really passionate about
srs. google it.
Yeah, right !
You mean he only accepts Bitcoin.
Dick Cheney being worth as much (as less?) as Chelsea Clinton is the only justice on that chart.
Well said my friend.
.
I won't give any speeches for under $1.6 M ever again if Trump gets $1.5 M. I like how Cheney gets the same amount for a speech as Chelsey Clinton. That must rot Cheney's socks big time.
I'd like to see Cheney try to give a motivational speech.
I'd like to invite him to speak and have a guy wearing a Scream mask waiting in the green room.
He did: "The Deficit doesn't matter".
Clearly he understood fiat currency plus Global Reserve Currency a lot better (when he said ) than almost anyone, including Libertarians.
This gave the Wall St Banksters and MIC executives a big woody.
I would love to see Cheney give a speech on gun safety or foreign policy through detente
You weren't at this one?

They're worried that his dodgy ticker will vapor lock in mid-sentence, thereby giving them poor value for their payola dollar.
His transplanted ticker came from a young man so no such luck.
I don't waste money on expensive speakers. I'm no audiophile.
I wouldn't listen to Bernanke even if he paid me for it. I'm no fedophile.
I can't believe Geithner gets $200k per speech. Maybe that's what he gets for his tax evasion speeches every 2nd Sunday of the month, from his cabana in Grand Caymen.
He's really rakin it in with his new "Timmy's Turbo-Tax For Dummies" book & software line.
Its not immediately discernable to me either.
Outside of Chelsea & Trump both having bad hair and never having been "directly employed" by .gov.
Maybe if we run it by a power/inheritance/influence "imputed social value" it will look different? ;-)
The international elite have ways to reward their political sycophants.

A classic West Chustle tune. West Coast Swing/Cha Cha/Hustle, fusion dance at its best.
I wouldn't give a Peso to hear all of 'em.
Since when can George W. Bush speak?
True! . . and if Bernanke quivers as much as he does at those congressional hearings you're in for one helluva night.
I would take Bush over Obama....at least you would get a couple laughs
He just hands out Texas Rangers sports memorabilia.
Donald duck Trump started one of them speeches on the 19th hole in Aberdeen , Scotland and it cost him around £4 million before he was sent packing.
You'd have to pay me $200K to listen to Hillary. Have you heard this bitch give a speech? I'd rather be dragged across a cheese grater.
Cicero she ain't.
Go to the back of the line.
It costs a lot to have Trump use his extensive vocabulary including adjectives like "amazing" and "really great".
Chelsea Clinton 75k? Why? What has she ever done?
Hiring Chelsea to speak is obviously another way of funneling money to the Clintons. Much of this money is paid for services already rendered.
These paymeents are in the open for all to see, "fair days work" it could be said. It passes an auditors muster. Those suspicious minds out there might think that they get more than a speech for 10 minutes. Odds are that those who contribute to a certain foundation may have seen these talks a few times. Interestsing times when this doesn't raise an eyebrow. Keep on working and pay tax to keep the printing machines loaded. Just don't look up or question the masters.
donald trump probably pays himself to speak ...
He certainly likes to hear himself talk.
Trump is the only one who has actually created value in that list.
Where's Alan Greenspan? Wasn't he commanding $250k+ speaking fees too?
Chelsea Clinton ... 75,000 WTF ... You know the fix is in ... Wow, I just noticed SickDollar had the same comment ... sorry Sick
I've been to some of those speeches and they go something like this:
B Clinton: I was president and you weren't.
H Clinton: My husband was president and yours wasn't. I'm gonna be president and you're not.
C Clinton: My dad was president and yours wasn't. My mom's gonna be president and yours isn't.
D Trump: I've driven a bunch of companies into bankruptcy and you haven't. Whoops! I mean, I'm rich and your not.
It is not for the speaking they are paid.

Anybody?
I'd smoke a joint with Shrub, I'd even supply the dope.
Proof positive if Mercans were still dubious....Money talks and bullshit reigns supreme in the land of eternal gaga.
Would you rather:
Pay to listen to Chelsea Clinton go into detail about her latest bowel movement?
or
Pay to listen to Bernanke describe his manscaping routine in graphic detail?
Good God.
What has Chelsea Clinton ever done that can be spoken of for a fee?
Passage through the 'right' birth canal????? Not even the traditional Royals are so brazen.
In your face payoffs, the art form for public speakers, late of .gov..ever see these reptiles in public after an event?? sorrounded by thug SS and police, pushing the crowd of serfs like a battle ship thru the sea.
corruption and bribes in your face..eat your peas.
Sarah? Really?!!
best rack in the bunch!
Isn't Chealsea Clinton getting paid...called an Allowance?
Wow! I wonder how much Hillary charges to iron my shirts.
