Chelsea Clinton, $10M Apartment, $3M Wedding, $600K Job: I Just Don’t Care About Money
USA Politics News ^ | 06 May 2016

Posted on 05/11/2016 1:59:41 PM PDT by Lorianne

The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and ex-secretary of state Hillary Clinton explained in a new interview why she left lucrative professions and opted for working with her family’s philanthropic foundation. ‘I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,’ she said.

Hillary Clinton insists she isn’t “well-off” and now daughter Chelsea says she couldn’t care less about money.

“I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,” she told UK’s The Telegraph, explaining why she gave up lucrative gigs to join her family’s philanthropic foundation.

Comparing her experience to the average millennial, the 34-year-old former first daughter defended jumping around to different careers — from consulting to a hedge fund to academia to journalism — before finding her true calling working with her parents.

“It is frustrating, because who wants to grow up and follow their parents? I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents … it’s a funny thing to realize I feel called to this work, both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make,” she continued about her reluctant status as a boomerang kid.

The Clinton name likely opened doors for the political heiress, including an eye-popping $600,000 annual salary for an irregular stint as an NBC special correspondent, but Chelsea insists her work speaks for itself.

What a pantload. I wouldn’t give damn about money either if I was a multimillionaire.

We would all like to not have to care about money, Chelsea.

Which is undoubtedly more lucrative.

Chelsea’s husband does not seem to care much for money either when you consider he lost 23 million of the 25 million dollar hedge fund he managed.

I have no doubt she was loathed by all wherever she went.

Didn’t I just read hat her husband’s high risk Greek fund closed after losing 90% of its’ value? Wonder if she was one of the fund advisors?

The Clintons deserve to be in jail and remembered in history as the con artists (if not far worse) that they are.

When mommy is in prison and the HIV and cocaine damage finally liquefy her dad’s brain she’ll start caring about money. When Bill and HilLiary are out of power so goes little miss Clinton.

You see, Chelsea luv, when your parents no longer have influence, well neither will you. Maybe they can find a nice teaching job for you. Or you could become like the Kennedy clan and prostitute you name out. If it’s worth anything. Because you see, honey, you hold no skills that have any value to any prospective employer.

So make hay while you can, dear. It’s bussing tables and slinging hash with Flo for you in a few years. You will also get to learn just how many actual friends you have right now.

That’s of course if you can avoid jail when the Trump Justice Dept audits the Clinton Foundation. Heh heh.

It develops a great sense of appreciation for everything you earn.

And great respect for those who make their own way in the world.

It’s been done well. Not sure if it’s durable, but she’s made significant improvement.

Of course she can afford the best.

"You have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," Clinton said. "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education. It was not easy. Bill has worked really hard. And it's been amazing to me. He's worked very hard."

Man! Imagine if you could get on a private jet to any place in the World, and enjoy luxury accommodations even in the midst of poverty. Then you would know what it's like to be one of the Clintons (who had NO assets at all when they came to Washington, and even when they left and stole the silverware) and be an advocate on behalf of THE Poor.
