New York: Hillary Clinton insists on a long list of “diva demands†along with “hefty fees” for her speaking arrangements, according to reports. Â
Documents obtained by the Washington Post said when UCLA leaders asked her to speak, and requested a discounted price, they were stunned to find that her “special university rate” was $300,000.
Guy Wheatley, a UCLA development official, wrote in an email that the amount was 50k dollars more that her husband, Bill Clinton.
The Former US Secretary of State also demanded a backstage menu that included “diet ginger ale, crudites, hummus and sliced fruit; with the onstage chairs to include “two long, rectangular pillows,” and required two more cushions ready backstage.
According to an email from a UCLA administrator, the presumed 2016 presidential candidate allowed “a total of 50 clicks†including two group photographs, twice urging that the groups needed to be ready and waiting for Clinton. “She doesn’t like to stand around waiting for people,†the official warned.
Hillary also made headlines for her extravagant traveling requirements, including private jet rentals.
