According to his speech contract riders obtained by the Washington Post, Joe Biden demands his dressing room
be stocked a certain way ahead of his paid speaking engagements:
<><>Biden requests a full-length mirror, six chairs with straight backs, and a portable wrinkle steamer be in his dressing room.
<><> Coke Zero, regular Coca-Cola, orange-flavored Gatorade, and black coffee are also musts.
<><> those hosting Biden must also serve him angel hair pomodoro, a caprese salad, and raspberry sorbet with biscotti.
Some of his speech contacts included $10,000 for chartered flights as well as a town car and professional driver.
Biden’s campaign said the former vice president has given fewer than 50 paid speeches since he left government.
For some of those, he was paid up to $200,000.
In other instances, he did not charge a fee, though he was reimbursed for travel in some cases.
The campaign declined to disclose how much Biden earned in total from the speeches.

I don’t believe Biden could fill a large living room with people who want to hear him speak if it were free. The idea of people paying him such a huge fee is absurd. What kind of scam is he involved in to get such huge “speaking” fees? I wouldn’t go to an auditorium and listen to him if he paid ME a thousand dollars.
