As the daughter of millionaire parents, Chelsea Clinton has never had to pinch pennies. Even when she ventured out on her own post-university, her salaries were enviable compared to her peers. According to the Observer, her starting salary at the consulting firm McKinsey & Company was $120,000. Then, she jumped to Wall Street to work at the hedge fund Avenue Capital Group, where The New York Times reported her paycheck likely got even heftier.
In 2011, Chelsea switched gears to broadcasting, snagging a gig as a special correspondent for NBC. Her salary? A casual $600,000 a year until she left in 2014. Not too bad for a part-time gig! By 2017, she joined the board of Expedia, pocketing at least $250,000 annually. Add to that her spot on the board of IAC, where Go Banking Rates estimates she earns around $300,000 per year.
And that’s not all. Chelsea has authored children’s books and sits on the boards of several other companies and organizations, including the School of American Ballet, Weill Cornell Medicine, Clover Health, Nurx, and, naturally, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. Who knows how much she rakes in from all these roles? It’s safe to say she has enough money to fund her lifestyle, no matter how lavish it can be.
