It’s not clear what it really is. People pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to Hollywood celebrities for appearances too, with no expectations of political favors.
- vostok 9y agoIf I was organizing a speech and had a budget of a few hundred thousand then Hillary Clinton would be near the top of my list.

They're on a variety of topics from a variety of people that the organization thinks we'll find valuable, and the market has set a pretty steep price for some of the better speakers. /shrug
