Chelsea Clinton is regularly paid sums as high as $75,000 to speak at events on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, it was revealed today.
A spokesperson for Clinton told the New York Times that 'the majority of Chelseas speeches are unpaid.' But when she is paid, the spokesperson, Kamyl Bazbaz, said, '100 percent of the fees are remitted directly to the foundation.'
The youngest member of the Clinton family doesn't attract as much cash for her speeches as her high-profile parents, who frequently charge $200,000 or more per appearance, but she is paid at a significantly higher rate than other political figures.
The New York Times estimates that former Florida Governor Jeb Bush makes $50,000 a speech, and the news organization said former secretaries of state Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright are known to charge roughly the same amount.
Chelsea Clinton does not get paid for her work as vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, a spokesman said, nor does she keep the money she receives for speaking on the foundation's behalf
The 34 year old's only known income is the $50,000 a month she receives from NBC for appearing on the network infrequently as a special correspondent. She received a salary of $600,000 in her role at the network last year and is now on a month-to-month contract as she prepares to have her first child.
According to her Clinton Foundation biography, she also serves on the boards of the School of American Ballet, Common Sense Media, the Africa Center and the Weill Cornell Medical College and is the Co-Chair of the Advisory Board of the Of Many Institute at New York University.
How much she is paid - if anything - for her contributions to those organizations is unknown.

No salary but how about expenses? Travel, food, payment if some of rooms in her 10 million dollar apartment are used as office space,an assistant, body guards etc.
How does she and her husband afford a 10 million dollar apartment?
OK, what do the Clintons have to offer? They wouldn’t be paid this much if they didn’t get access. Somebody help me out here - ‘cause we’re going to see it with Obama’s brats.
P-A-Y-O-L-A
Tax evasion.

I can't help but wonder if we are seeing Clinton money being laundered into daylight.
The poor poor girl. If only she cared about money she would know how destitute she is. Like is hard for the Clinton’s
Damn, I need to start the “Grace Foundation” so to speak....
What does she speak about?
How my dad got blow jobs in the oral orifice?
How did mom and dad stay together with Huma being around?
Did dad poke Huma behind Hill’s back?
Did they have threesomes with Huma?
Too many jokes, so little time.
Can I ask a stupid question?
Why are the Clintons continuing with this nonsense, that they collect fees for speeches, but they donate these fees to their closely held family foundation, and somehow that makes it all okay????
If money goes to a foundation operated by the Clintons, aren’t the Clintons still determining how that money gets spent??? Don’t the Clintons still have access to the money, and control over the money???
Do the Clintons think they can just insult all of our intelligence repeatedly????
You can partner with, ‘Diana, Inc.’ ;)
You’re right, something definitely doesn’t add up. They can’t do it on her salary alone, considerable as it is. I believe the rule of thumb is 2.5 times income is the max you can afford.
What on EARTH could ANY of those three have to say that people would be willing to PAY for?
*Scratches Head*
Maybe, “Here’s how to game the system in three easy steps...”
SHAM-WOW! LOL!
How could any guy go near that?
It would be interesting to see how much of the Clinton Foundation expenditures directly benefit the Clinton family.
Only 50K a month? How does the ugly -—— survive on that?
That’s right! It’s money laundering
[ You can partner with, Diana, Inc. ;) ]
Really i have thought about setting up an “ineffectual liberal PAC” for the purpose of bleeding monies out of Soros Inc.
You something like “People for sustainable _(noun)_ “ or something like that and create a professional looking website with a paypal button and make ads that run in never watched markets that are easily debunked and innane.
And making myself the chair woman and siphoning off enough administration expenses over a few years to pay off my house.
Yes. That seems to be he hallmark of Democrat Presidents, and the current one is blazing new trails of arrogance.
She is married to a very wealthy guy
