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.

Toss a coin. /s

With that kind of money, couldn’t she at least have loaned some money to her “dead broke” parents?

Chelsea did even better than Michelle Obama, who was only paid $300,000 for doing nothing in her “community outreach” job.
To: jimbo123
I think I should contact NBC and tell them I’ll do nothing for $100,000, saving them $500,000.
To: jimbo123
thank God that she got the 600,000 dollars, we now know that the Clintons were broke, even in debt as they left the White House...,.,.at least Chelsea wasn’t on food stamps!!!
