Gingrich’s Lectures Reportedly Will Cost a Cool $50,000
Newt Gingrich, the soon-to-be-former speaker of the House, is offering his services on the lecture circuit for a reported $50,000 per appearance.
The Washington Speakers Bureau is promoting Gingrich (R-Ga.), calling him “one of the most talked-about figures in American public life.”
But his pearls of wisdom will cost $50,000, plus three first-class airplane tickets, according to an executive from a trade association quoted anonymously in the Washington Post Friday.
“In addition to his speech, Mr. Gingrich, a man of ideas, is willing to meet for one hour--either in Atlanta or once on site--to exchange views with your CEO, organization president or board of directors,” said a memo faxed from the speakers’ bureau to corporations and trade associations.
One of the plane tickets is presumably for Gingrich. It was unclear who would get the other two.
