Hillary Clinton's Speaking Fees Collapse

Hillary Clinton is scheduled to speak at Rutgers University on Thursday, mainly on her role in women’s political history in America. Rutgers confirmed that Clinton is to be compensated — via an endowment — a sum of $25,000, which she reportedly intends to donate to charity.

In the years leading up to her failed 2016 presidential campaign, however, Clinton commanded a much higher price tag. A 2015 Business Insider report listed speaker fees well into six figures, and although different media outlets clashed on the exact amounts, it was clear that the range was from $125,000 to $335,000. All told, it was estimated that she earned close to $12 million in speaking fees in the years after she left the State Department.
