Chelsea Clinton gets $250K/year Expedia board seat, just ‘cuz
Washington Times ^ | 3/20/2017 | Kelly Riddell

Chelsea Clinton was named to the board of Expedia — you know, because all of her experience in the technology and cybersecurity field.

In her newly named position, Mrs. Clinton will get $45,000 a year in cash, plus $250,000 a year in stock vesting over three years. What Mrs. Clinton’s responsibilities will be at the online travel-booking company is unclear — the company’s financial filings don’t detail.

Expedia’s chairman, billionaire Barry Diller, is a longtime Clinton ally and prolific fundraiser for the political family. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Diller and his wife Diane von Furstenberg hosted a “Conversation and Dinner with Hillary Clinton,” with tickets priced at $100,000 per couple.

Mr. Diller has collected 54 percent of Expedia’s voting shares, so he’s single-handedly able to alter its board from 13 to 14 people to accommodate the younger Clinton. And he’s done it before.

Mr. Diller is also chairman of IAC Interactive, and invited Chelsea to sit on its board four years ago. In that position, Mrs. Clinton earns $50,000 in cash a year, and $249,936 in stock.

Chelsea started her career working for management consulting firm McKinsey & Company and investment firm Avenue Capital Group. She ditched those jobs for a cozy $600,000 a year gig reporting for NBC News, where she conducted hard-hitting interviews with the likes of Geico’s gecko.

Gee, so now Chelsea is a “bookie”. Goes right along with the rest of the Clinton Crime Family rip-offs and “fake jobs”.

Barry Diller, you are a schmuck.

Does Expedia expect the Clintons to rise again? I can’t think of any other reason to hire Chelsea.

Chelsea’s husband has more business sense than she does ... and he’s the one who ran his hedge fund into the ground, losing 90% of his shareholders’ assets in the process.

If I was going to travel (I don’t want to any more), Expedia would be on my banned list.

By following in her parents influence buying/selling enterprise, earning something for nothing is just one of the perks.

Why does the writer refer to the Chelsea bitch as “MRS. Clinton”? How stupid are “journalists”? Oh, wait ... never mind.

Blacks in America have been complaining about ‘white privilege’, yet I don’t see any of them complaining about Chelsea getting these DO NOTHING, BIG BUCKS jobs.
