paidContent - Bonfire of Vanities, Part Deux: Speaking Fees of Media/Internet Types
This story was written by Rafat Ali.
A random tweet somewhere reminded me of speaker’s fee for various celeb speaking types in the media/Internet sphere. A lot of this info is public on various speaking bureau websites, so thought it would be interesting enough info to point out, at least for the ones that publicly disclose their fees.
