After discovering that Hillary Clinton charges exorbitant amounts to appear at events (actual quote: “Yikes!”), administrators from the University of Missouri at Kansas City decided to go with a slightly cheaper member of the Clinton family to headline their lunchtime gala for the opening of a women’s hall of fame: Chelsea. Chelsea, a relative bargain at $65,000 compared to her mother’s fee of $275,000, spoke for a whole 10 minutes, did a moderated Q&A for 20 minutes, and took pictures with VIPs for a half hour.

$65,000/60 = $1,083.33. Chelsea Clinton was paid over a thousand dollars per minute.

The event raised $38,500, but organizers claim fundraising was not the goal of the event.

While a spokesperson for Chelsea stated that the money went to the Clinton Foundation, there is apparently no reference to this in any email communication between UMKC and Chelsea’s representatives nor was there any reference to this in the contract for the speech.

Is it really a question why college costs are skyrocketing?
