 Michelle Obama earns nearly $750K for one-hour speech: report

Former first lady Michelle Obama has reportedly walked away with nearly $750,000 after giving a one-hour speech on diversity and inclusion in Germany on Monday.

The 59-year-old former lawyer spoke to an estimated 5,000 attendees on how to “push past self-doubt while discussing the importance of inclusivity and diversity” at the annual Bits and Pretzels forum in Munich — a start-up event held on the sidelines of the annual Oktoberfest beer festival, according to the event website.

For her speech, Obama was paid 700,000 euros, which is roughly equivalent to $741,000, two unidentified sources close to the conference organizers told the Daily Mail.

Organizers told the outlet that the former first lady “topped the list” of people whom participants wanted to hear from  “year after year.”

“They really pulled out all the stops to get her,” one person close to the team told the Daily Mail, adding: “It’s one of the highest fees that they have ever paid.”

In fact, the $741,000 figure is nearly double what her former colleague, Joe Biden, makes in one year as president — at $400,000.

But truth be told, it ain't michelle who's the dumb one here -- it's those stupid Deutschlanders foolish enough to pay her for runnin' her mouth...

If Mooch were standing in my front yard giving a speech, I'd shut the blinds and turn up the tv so loud I couldn't hear her.

In other words...I wouldn't pay a dime.

When the Obama's entered the WH, they were worth several million dollars. Barack had never worked an honest day in his life, and Michelle was fresh off her $300,000 plus job at a Chicago hospital for being Michelle Obama.
After they left the WH they started amassing moolah at a prolific rate and are now worth between one hundred and two hundred million dollars with multiple mansions across the country, tv/movie deals and hundred thousand dollar plus speaking engagements.
Do you think they'd praise the country that allowed them to become fabulously wealthy? If so, I haven't heard them say so.
That's what irritates me the most about the Obamas. The sheer ingratitude.

@berdie

NOBODY,other than black groupies,is paying her even a nickel to hear her talk.

What they are doing is "buying access to power".

It's my yard, and I rent it by the square foot and the second.
Want to stand there? Pay up.

$1,000/sq ft./sec., 5 sq. ft., two minute minimum.

Otherwise, I would let the dog out.
