Tony Blair Overtakes Bill Clinton As Most Sought-After Speaker

November 8, 2007 · Filed Under Business News, World News

Tony Blair has been paid more than $500,000 for a 20-minute speech in China, meaning he has overtaken Bill Clinton to become the world’s most sought-after public speaker.

Britons might have tired of hearing from the former prime minister but in the southern Chinese industrial town of Dongguan his words appear to be worth their weight in gold.

Mr Blair’s lucrative speech to a group of about 600 Communist party officials, businessmen and investment bankers confirms he has shot into the super league of after-dinner speakers.

Bill Clinton was paid a mere $100,000 for a speaking engagement in Hong Kong late last year.

Tony Blair is a smart man,he deserves to be paid much more.Bill Clinton is also a smart man, he left office much longer than Blair, so his value as kind of diminished.

I wonder how much would they pay the moron in the White House after he left office?
