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 Chelsea’s 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.

The SRM is probably salivating at the "It's her turn" moment and will report that she is the BEST speaker since BJ himself.
Find out who actually ponied up the money, how the money was offset by other moneys. Someone is complicit in money-laundering. Someone at NBC is also complicit in money-laundering.
When you are at this level, you commit crimes right out in broad daylight and no one says boo.
It’s a good thing she doesn’t care about money!
Everyone talks about bj’s infidelity and it’s just to make hitlary look like the victim. Meanwhile here’s the proof of hers right in their faces.
That may be my favorite animated .gif of all time.
