Former first child (now with child) Chelsea Clinton had a $600,000 annual contract at NBC News, Politico reports, where she served as a "special correspondent" and was deemed to be mostly useless, if not "one of the most boring people of her era." That deal is over now, but Clinton is still being paid by the network (which has also hired Luke Russert, Meghan McCain, and Jenna Bush ... ) on a month-to-month basis, with complicating factors including her pregnancy and the good odds her mother is running for president.

That work included little of note, either journalistically or personally, despite Brian Williams admitting during Clinton's first appearance, "In the months to come, we want to hear about you and your life." (He added, as an afterthought, "We want to hear about the lives of the people you're going to highlight.")
But one time she interviewed the cartoon Geico gecko:

Blackmail? Extortion? If someone is doing nothing, then someone has something on the someone, who is paying the something for nothing.

Defend your claim.
As Glenn Reynolds said, for a correspondent it’s gross overpayment, but for a bribe for future presidential influence, it’s cheap.
Have not read Hubbell’s book...
But, note that Amazon reviews are all VERY positive.
And now Chelsea collects a salary for ‘work’ she does at the Clinton Foundation. And although this foundation is rated low on distribution of money collected, Ms Chelsea sails along with a 6 figure salary for her so-called administrative duties. About two weeks ago I read on the internet that the Clinton Foundation was being rolled over to a part of the Hillary’s campaign. lol. What a racket. Money laundering right in front of the everyone, and bold as can be. I’ll bet Mr Lois Lerner passed this foundation thru the IRS vetting process very rapidly.
“NBC Paid Chelsea Clinton $600,000 to Do Nothing...”
I’ll chip in $1000 if we can get the same deal from Obama for the next two years.
Jenna Bush earns her money - maybe not the top salary she is getting, but on occasion I happen to look at the Today show and she is often on it. She also did an hour-long special on her Grandfather.
She is heads above Ms Chelsea in talent, looks and intellect.
No, NBC did not
Comcast paid chelsa and big Al
Comcast essentially launders money, payments to a designated few
Comcast performs the same function as Soylandra
Yes the Clinton Global Initiative takes in >$300m per year. It doesn’t take a lot of skimming to provide a nice living for the members of the Clinton Crime Family. As evidenced by Chelsea’s $10m “starter” home in Manhattan.
Although the Obama Presidential Foundation will likely make them look like small potatoes once the POTUS pardon bribes start flowing in.
