There is a new Clinton paid to deliver speeches — Chelsea, the former first daughter — and she is commanding as much as $75,000 per appearance.
Aides stressed that while Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton often address trade groups and Wall Street bankers, Ms. Clinton, now 34, focuses on organizations whose goals are in line with the work of the family’s philanthropic organization, the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation. Organizers said her star power helped sell tickets and raise money.
And unlike her parents’ talks, Ms. Clinton’s speeches “are on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, and 100 percent of the fees are remitted directly to the foundation,” said her spokesman, Kamyl Bazbaz, adding that “the majority of Chelsea’s speeches are unpaid.” The Harry Walker Agency, the firm that represents her parents’ engagements, handles Ms. Clinton’s talks on behalf of the family foundation.
The family speechmaking business is a lucrative one and has generated more than $100 million for her parents over the past decade as they hopscotched the globe. Their fees range from $200,000 to $700,000 per appearance, and Mr. Clinton alone earned $17 million last year giving speeches.
Ms. Clinton has avoided the controversies that have lately accompanied her mother’s speeches, particularly at public universities. Mrs. Clinton, the former secretary of state and a potential presidential candidate, also donates her university fees to the family foundation, but critics have said that as taxpayer-supported institutions, the schools should put that money to better use.

You misspelled the “T”-word....
It’s really disguised campaign financing.
Shouldn’t she be paying people $75,000 to hear her?
I wonder what Amy Carter is doing these days?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Carter
She’s an “activist”
Let’s not.forget that Chelsea’s husband makes millions on wall street.
No mention of that.
I can think of a few things that might be worth that kind of money;
Why Fort Marcy Park.
Maintenance schedule of Ron Brown’s plane.
How her daddy cultivated a love of Ducks in her life.
Saw the blue dress.
Why Chinese people are so generous.
(List is unending...)
The only reason to pay her is to curry favor with her parents.
WTF could she possibly have to say?
The only thing she’s ever done is fall out of her mother.
It’s not what you know, it’s who you are related to.
You know I can see why people would be interested in hearing a speech by Bill Clinton, he was a 2 term president of the US. I can even sort of see why people would be interested in hearing a speech by Hillary. But Chelsea? Give me a break, I find it hard to believe she would have anything of value to say. Sorry Chelsea!
It is the ole recognition of name that will get her (Chelsea) elected, if that in fat happens one day in the future. God Forbid!!!
I wouldn’t give her 75 cents FOR ANYTHING. Who the hell s paying her $75K to speak and what is the payback?
“Why is Hillary “Mrs. Clinton,” but Chelsea is only “Ms. Clinton?”
of course you’re right. the young sprout trading off the family name because she doesn’t care about money. shouldn’t Chelzee be known as Mrs. Marc Mezvinsky?
Being the love child of Hillary and Webb Hubbell, whose "stepfather" was serviced in the Oval Office while pretending to be POTUS.
Apparently, the groups she speaks to, have low standards. /sarc
It amazes me that there actually is a sucker born every minute.
That anybody would pay anything to hear Bill, Hillary or Chelsea give a speech about anything is completely amazing to me.
Business people make money by creating value for other people (hence the term, “value proposition.”)
What possible value proposition do Bill, Hillary and Chelsea offer?
I guess the same kind of value proposition that Tony Soprano offered Barone Sanitation.

I wonder what annual salary she gets from the Clinton Foundation?
She makes more in one speech than most millenials will make in a year or two-—or more nowadays.
Webb Hubbell would be so proud.
The corruption is so deep in the ruling class. There really are only two solutions when it gets to this level. One is a massive brokenness and turning to Jesus.
“What can she possibly know worth that much money?
They’re paying protection money to the Clinton Crime Family.”
These payments to Bill, Hill and now Chelsea are a way to launder bribes to the KKKlinton family for protection and influence peddling. If we had a real media the amount of influence peddling money paid to Slick alone would be a major scandal.
