Using public documents, the Washington Post got “a rare glimpse into the complex and meticulous backstage efforts” to manage Hillary Clinton’s lucrative speaking career.
The special discounted “university rate” for a talk at the University of California at Los Angeles: $300,000.
“It is commonplace for celebrity speakers to request special accommodations — and Clinton was no exception. Her representatives asked for a case of still water, room temperature, to be deposited stage right. They also asked that ‘a carafe of warm/hot water, coffee cup and saucer, pitcher of room temperature water, water glass, and lemon wedges’ be situated both on a table on stage as well as in another room where Clinton would stand for photos with VIPs.”
