Two tickets to listen to Bill Clinton’s lecture "Embracing our Common Humanity” at The 02 on August 14 - £1,785.78 inclusive of VAT. Cheap seats for two - £500.
Humanity fans who attend this performance in blather about globalisation, etc, should be reminded that Bill earned $10.2m from his speeches alone in 2006 and $7.5m in 2005. He made a staggering $450,000 for a single September speech in London, at a Fortune Forum event.
From 2001 to 2005 he made about $30m from his speeches. He does contribute to the $60m pa running costs of his charitable William J Clinton Foundation dedicated to fighting Aids and world hunger – exactly how much he refuses to disclose, but the annual figure is said to be “several millions”.
Meanwhile – how not to blog at the Hillary Clinton site.
More about Bill’s charitable work at his foundation.

You could also tell us about the use the Bush family makes of their (honestly earned, of course) money.
Wasn't Bush's grandfather Hitler's banker ?
