Chelsea Clinton gets $250 a year Expedia board seat.


Posted: Mar 21, 2017

Chelsea Clinton was named to the board of Expedia — you know, because all of her experience in the technology and cybersecurity field. In her newly named position, Mrs. Clinton will get $45,000 a year in cash, plus $250,000 a year in stock vesting over three years. What Mrs. Clinton’s responsibilities will be at the online travel-booking company is unclear — the company’s financial filings don’t detail. Expedia’s chairman, billionaire Barry Diller, is a longtime Clinton ally and prolific fundraiser for the political family. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Diller and his wife Diane von Furstenberg hosted a “Conversation and Dinner with Hillary Clinton,” with tickets priced at $100,000 per couple. Mr. Diller has collected 54 percent of Expedia’s voting shares, so he’s single-handedly able to alter its board from 13 to 14 people to accommodate the younger Clinton. And he’s done it before. Mr. Diller is also chairman of IAC Interactive, and invited Chelsea to sit on its board four years ago. In that position, Mrs. Clinton earns $50,000 in cash a year, and $249,936 in stock. Chelsea started her career working for management consulting firm McKinsey & Company and investment firm Avenue Capital Group. She ditched those jobs for a cozy $600,000 a year gig reporting for NBC News, where she conducted hard-hitting interviews with the likes of Geico’s gecko.... ;

Sounds like a 1 percenter. If a company wants to pour - their money down a rate hole for

political gain it is their business. Must be nice to have that kind of money to waste. Gore got the same payoff from Apple.

I won't be using Expedia anymore.

I have 35 years experience and barely make minimum wage.

Chelsea Clinton has no work experience in this field, yet she can land a $250k/year job she isn't qualified for.

I’d just be happy to land a $30k/year job.

Sigh.

I guess she really does care about the money. - At age 23 right out of Stanford

she earned a $120,000-a-year salary with the consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Her pay was on par with MBA holders. Her wedding cost $3 million.

She's a 1 percenter.

Yet the right defends Donald using his position to - advertise for his daughter,

spending millions each week to go on his golfing holidays, raise the membership rate to $200,000 a year at his golf club, use taxpayer funds to provide secret service to his sons who are going to other countries for his business, preaching to all of us about bringing jobs to America while he still offshores and brings workers from other countries and the list goes on.

Just a question: Are you just as outraged by that?

Isn't it just mind numbing? - sm

I mean the spins and hypocrisy is off the charts. This stuff right here though, just unacceptable. Does it feel to you like he's only been in office for 2 months...feels more like 20 long torturous years to me.

Once again - Resist Trump

the Clintons are no longer in power. All kinds of people with famous names get well-paying jobs in various industries. It's unfair but it is not affecting us directly. We know you don't like the Clintons. How about the things Trump is doing? Still haven't seen any outrage from the right about the money Trump is spending to go to Florida almost every weekend and what it costs the American taxpayer when his sons travel around the world on Trump business.

I'm also waiting for responses about that from - the right

Unfortunately, they can't get over that Hillary lost and this is about Trump. They learned well from their leader with deflection tactics.

Your original post was responded to, you just didn't like - the answer. Trump is donating his salary

to charity. That was also mocked.

He hasn't yet, so let's wait - and see shall we?

salary - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
His salary for a year is less than or equal to what it costs to keep his wife in New York for 1 day.

He SAYS he will donate his salary - at the end of the year

[ In Reply To ..]
he probably hopes we will have forgotten that promise by the end of the year. Oh, but the tax deduction for charitable donation, that might prompt him to actually do it. Most likely he will donate it to the Trump Foundation and then use the money to buy another portrait of himself. Pathetic!

This has led the Supreme Court to invent rights that are nowhere in the Constitution—like the right to an abortion or to same-sex marriage—and ignore or restrict rights that even nonlawyers can’t miss—like the First and Second Amendments.
