Donald Trump could earn nearly $2million for each speech if he goes on tour after exiting the White House
It seems like life after the White House may not be so bad for President Donald Trump after all. It has recently been reported that Trump could make up to $2million per speech should he go on tour after he leaves the White House. Trump would "easily command" more than $1 million per speech in the United States as well as abroad with his booking fees likely to touch $2million overseas.
People who normally help celebrities land such big and expensive deals spoke to TMZ on Saturday, November 14, and shared that Trump could look at pocketing big bucks after exiting the White House. It is possible that Trump will give speeches at Republican and conservative events since he did receive around 72 million votes in the 2020 election.
His hypothetical speeches abroad could be in countries such as Israel and Russia, the publication reveals. Besides speaking at such events, Trump could also get some additional perks such as first-class accommodations and golfing trips where he speaks.
He is also not the only member of the Trump family who will be able to make money to talk in front of an audience. His wife, First Lady Melania Trump, could also earn around $75,000 to $125,000 per speech in the US and between $125,000 to $175,000 abroad if she stays married to Trump, the report claimed.
If she does decide to divorce Trump and writes a tell-all book, her booking fee could go much higher, the report stated. First Daughter Ivanka Trump could make the most among the Trump children and rake in around $75,000 to $100,000 per event in the US and between $100,000 to $125,000 abroad, according to the statistics predicted in the report.
It is said that her booking fee can be much higher than her siblings as she had a fashion line prior to becoming an adviser to her father's administration and had also published a book titled 'Women Who Work', according to the report. Trump's other children — Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump are estimated to earn around $75,000 to talk in the US.
According to an analysis by Forbes, giving speeches and making money could be a great way for Trump to pay off his debt which is estimated to be around $1billion.
We had earlier reported that President-elect Joe Biden made it clear to the media on Tuesday, November 10, that President Donald Trump not conceding the election to him days after he was declared the projected winner by the networks was "an embarrassment".
Trump has continued to tout theories and make unsubstantiated claims of widespread systemic voter fraud without any concrete evidence of the same. He focused his energies on sending members of his campaign team to multiple states to file lawsuits for a recount of votes.
Biden spoke to reporters and said, "It's an embarrassment, quite frankly. The only thing that... uh... how can I say this tactfully, I think it will not help the president’s legacy." He also shared that he had spoken to foreign leaders and they are "hopeful that the United States' democratic institutions are viewed once again as being strong and endured."
