She took $7.2 million in speaking fees...

At some point there should be a question about whether the fees are really for "speaking". In other areas of commerce outrageous payments might be indications of something else going on.

A $500 tip to a dancer in a bar.

A $200,000 "gift" to your auto mechanic.

etc.

How exactly is whatever Ms. Yellen has to say worth millions of dollars to people who are already as knowledgeable as she in about how the financial markets work? Unless the real goal of the people writing the checks is to affect how she thinks about and treats them.
