Former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke makes millions charging $200,00 an hour to talk to bankers on the international speaking circuit

Bernanke used to make $200,000 a year during his eight years as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He can make that in a single hour now on the international speaking circuit.

He left office in February. By March, he was making up to three stops a week around the world.

Pffft , I would not give 1 FRN.

I bet at the end, he flings back millions of dollars into the crowd and says, "thank you for saving our economy!"

 

[fr33]

LOL I'm pretty sure we've paid more than that already to hear him speak in the past. I doubt he has anything more interesting to offer.

The Bernanke is one of the most successful robbers in history. If I wanted to be a successful white collar thief, I would go to all of Helicopter Ben's talks.

He would have to pay me to listen to him speak for a whole hour. Who in the hell thinks an hour of his time is worth $200k? I think it's worthless.

One Reason For "Helicopter Ben's" Speaking Fee

Inflation!

I know this is going to sound like I'm selling myself cheap, but yeah, I would listen to Ben Bernanke speak if I got paid $200,000.

I went to a business boondoggle (conference) held by a prominent fixed-income dealer a few years back and one of the featured speakers was Frank Abagnale - the "catch me if you can" dude.

I can't tell you how disappointed I was that Mr. Abagnale spent most of his speech blaming his parents' divorce for his life of crime and fraud and counterfeiting - typical government worker.

Wonder if Helicopter Ben gives the same speech?

Probably not. Teh Bernank had a very happy and care-free childhood ...

You can hire Ron Paul to speak for only $50,000 plus transportation, housing and food. http://www.greatertalent.com/ronpaul/

And his advice is worth while, unlike Bernanke.

makes me wonder who goes to see him for that much....any guesses?

 

[acptulsa]

I bet he'd do it for 120 old twenty dollar gold pieces.

Why? Gold is not money.

If you want to get rich, why not just buy a book for much less than $200k?

This quote sounds good to me:

“Wisdom is really the key to wealth. With great wisdom, comes great wealth and success. Rather than pursuing wealth, pursue wisdom. The aggressive pursuit of wealth can lead to disappointment."

It would have taken me well more than 15 years in the military to have earned that. A lifetime for one person and one measly hour for another.

And we dont have any income inequality in this country.

What really gets me is who is the dumb fuck or dumb fucks giving Ben the 200k?
