The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and ex-secretary of state Hillary Clinton explained in a new 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.

‘I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,’ she said.

What she means is that her "caring threshold" starts at about $20 million.

Yeah, that’s it exactly.

Invariably, when someone says they don’t care about money,
there is 0% chance that they’ll ever experience privation.

"The Clinton name likely opened doors for the political heiress"

Ya think? Thanks for that info Capt Obvious....

"I will just always work harder (than anybody else) and hopefully perform better"

My personal favorite line. Honey, I'm guessing you never worked hard a day in your pampered life.

You know she's out of touch by that fact that after uttering the statement that she can't care about money, she doesn't realize just how out of touch it sounds. To her and those she roams with, this statement is not out of touch, but an expression of sympathy for the poor. At least Amy Carter had the decency to not run around running her trap 14 years after her Daddy left office...

Poor girl...she’ll just have to live off of her $50 million trust fund and her $30K/yr salary as a ghetto social worker.

Without money socialist Hippies would be wallowing in the dirt where they all belong...

Hippies that discover money and how to make will either eventually turn into the Capitalists they despise but they mostly all turn into Hypocrites.

What extraordinary arrogance. Notice in that recent photo of her wearing those skin-tight leather pants she was wearing res-soled Christian Louboutin shoes. In the neighborhood of $1000. She doesn’t worry about money because her dead broke parents are centimillionaires and she does not have to work.

"He is spending his summer vacation in Nicaragua caring for the poor there."

Your friends actions speak louder than words. Chelsea is spending her summer vacation jet setting between Paris and her swank 10 million dollar Manhatten apartment I'm guessing. There's a difference....

[kdot]

Exactly! She should try *having* to work, with a baby, and still counting her coin at the end of the week. What a charmed life she has. Keep talking, Chels. It reminds us all of who you Clintons are.

"Notice in that recent photo of her wearing those skin-tight leather pants she was wearing res-soled Christian Louboutin shoes."

Uh, I'm guessing you are a female and only other females and males who celebrate LGBT month would notice the re-soled shoes. The rest of us guys didn't notice. Trust me on that one.... : )

[MNDude]

she sounds so morally superior to the billions of people on earth who do care about money.

Also... working for Mom’s and Pop’s Charity?

I have searched and Searched for what she gets
paid- TO NOT SHOW UP for meetings at the “Foundation”

I heard $200,000 a year- they are keeping this a secret some how- I recall when a reporter asked her when was
the next board meeting- the look on her face -PRICELESS-

[Thank You Rush]

“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.””

Can someone explain to me just why we have to be reminded of this person just because she has a complex of some kind? Poor thing. I guess she’s trying hard to seem normal after having been raised by two people who spent time 50 years ago finding themselves. Sorry Chelsea but anyone else who feels as you do would just shut up and stay out of the public eye. It is VERY PAINFUL to watch or listen to her talk.

My personal favorite line. Honey, I'm guessing you never worked hard a day in your pampered life.

Not long ago I saw a survey on the net titled "are you an elitist" (or something like that).It had questions like "do you buy your morning coffee at Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts?".Many questions about money as well.I clearly remember one question..."have you ever had a job which sometimes caused your back to hurt?" I answered "you betcha".

I wonder how Chelsea (or her parents) would have answered.

[Billthedrill]

She's above all that, dontcha know. A kid who steps out of her undergraduate education into a $100,000 per annum "consulting" job is, let's face it, a better person than we are. Or something.

This has been an interesting foray into the gossip columns, this and the breathless speculation over whether the princess is pregnant. It's the sort of mindless adulation we expect to be directed at the British royal family (probably our revenge for the War of 1812) but the subliminal suggestion is very real: she'll be the First Brat again very soon. Done deal. Well, except for the messiness of voting and that sort of thing.

[WKUHilltopper]

What a puke bag. Wait until you don’t have it and see if you care. If mommy, the self proclaimed dead broke one, doesn’t bail you out.

[Suz in AZ]

Maybe she is alluding that she doesn’t have the fire in her belly for it like her parents do.

[hinckley buzzard]

*Gak* It's a good thing she's rich.

[saleman]

“Let them eat cake...”

[dangerdoc]

The headline is wrong.

$100,000,000 heiress can’t be troubled with $600k job.
