Bush Rakes in Speaking Fees
Former President George W. Bush has earned about $15 million giving paid speeches since leaving office just over two years ago, iWatch News reports.
His standard speaking fee is reportedly between $100,000 and $150,000.
"Bush's father, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan also gave paid speeches. Reagan took heat for accepting $2 million for two speeches in Japan.
But Clinton took the ex-presidential lecture circuit to a new level. He earned $65 million in speaking fees from 2001 to 2009... That included $7.5 million from 36 speeches in 2009 alone."
