A college balks at Hillary Clinton's fee, books Chelsea for $65,000 instead
2015-07-01
[WASHINGTONPOST] When the University of Missouri at Kansas City was looking for a celebrity speaker to headline its gala luncheon marking the opening of a women's hall of fame, one of the names that came to mind was Hillary Rodham Clinton
... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Frederick T. Frelinghuysen ...
But when the former secretary of state's representatives quoted a fee of $275,000, officials at the public university balked. "Yikes!" one e-mailed another.

So the school booked the next best option: her daughter, Chelsea.

The university paid $65,000 for Princess Chelsea Clinton's brief appearance Feb. 24, 2014, a demonstration of the celebrity appeal and marketability that the former and possibly second-time first daughter employs on behalf of her mother's presidential campaign and family's global charitable empire.

More than 500 pages of e-mails, contracts and other internal documents obtained by The Washington Post from the university under Missouri public record laws detail the school's long courtship of the Clintons.

A: Chelsea Clinton

#10  Chelsea Victoria Clinton
Was sure to excel at badminton.
At birth she was handed a racket;
All she had to do was to whack it.

#6  10 minute pablum speech. 20 minute staged Q & A with no embarrassing Q's allowed. 30 minute VIP photo-op. I'd have done it for a LOT less and would've at least made it entertaining

#5  Heck, I would have read the same speech for only $10000.
