- belorn 10y agoDoes Snowden use a speakers bureau? I suspect that if you sell speeches to highest bidder vs talk on specific conferences thats relevant to the subject you want to bring awareness, you are going to earn different amount of money. It the same way that civil rights lawyers has a different earning perspective than say a high profile defense lawyer or a company lawyer. Is the $1.25M/yr in any way anchored to Snowden, or is it just speculation? Do Daniel Ellsberg also earn 1.25M/yr through speaker fees? The Wikipedia article about him fails to mention his vast riches.
