The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and ex-secretary of state Hillary Clinton explained in a recent interview why she left lucrative professions and opted for working with her family’s philanthropic foundation. 'I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn't,' she said.
Hillary Clinton insists she isn’t "well-off" and now daughter Chelsea, according to a recent interview, claims she couldn't care less about money.
“I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,†she told Fast Company in an interview that ran in the magazine's May edition, explaining why she gave up lucrative gigs to join her family’s philanthropic foundation.
Comparing her experience to the average millennial, the 34-year-old former first daughter defended jumping around to different careers — from consulting to a hedge fund to academia to journalism — before finding her true calling working with her parents.
"It is frustrating, because who wants to grow up and follow their parents? I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents … it’s a funny thing to realize I feel called to this work, both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make," she continued about her reluctant status as a boomerang kid.
The Clinton name likely opened doors for the political heiress, including an eye-popping $600,000 annual salary for an irregular stint as an NBC special correspondent, but Chelsea insists her work speaks for itself.
“I will just always work harder (than anybody else) and hopefully perform better,†said Clinton, who along with former banker husband Marc Mezvinsky, purchased a $10.5-million Gramercy Park apartment in 2013. “And hopefully, over time, I preempt and erase whatever expectations people have of me not having a good work ethic, or not being smart, or not being motivated.â€
The comments, while not new, have nonetheless garnered a new round of attention in recent days after her mom and likely 2016 candidate, Hillary, was criticized for remarks suggesting she exited the White House "dead broke" and wasn't "truly well off" despite millions of dollars in public speaking earnings.
Horsesh$t.
If i was worth millions i might not care either.
she would care if she was dead broke
As only someone who has never had to worry about paying their own way could state it.
“I don’t care about losing all the money......it’s losing all the stuff.”
I’ve been there a few times and I cared.
When money is easy, no one really cares.
When the Clinton Gravy Train ends, this will change
It’s hereditary, her parents tried to care about ethics, but couldn’t.
I guess one can feel that way if you are given every thing without having to actually do any work at all.
Mom and pop should be so proud.
She’s a LIAR just like them.
I wonder what she’ll look like at he mother’s present age.
I wish I was in her position and not care about money. I care very much for money as it is a way to keep my family afloat. She is so privileged.
From the movie “Giant.”
Leslie Benedict (Liz Taylor): “Money isn’t everything, Jett.”
Jett Rink (James Dean): “Not when you’ve got it.”
She is in training to be an even bigger liar than her mother!
Give me a break!
Let her take the place of an urban blakc or hispanic women in the ghetto
Oh, OK. Then give all you have to me then.
Let them eat cake.
Is this the same leftist spawn who,not long ago,bought a ten million dollar place in Manhattan?
