Her book was a huge flop, and she got an $8M advance for it. That's mostly a gift from her supporters...which is why they've received so many speaking engagements at outrageous fees. Sorry, but they are getting 3,4-5X per engagement, from businesses, than what Jack Welch got - and he's a BUSINESS mega-superstar. Just admit what it is - a handout from their cronies.

LMFAO I see a headline that Obama is negotiating a $25M book deal.
Here's the biggest book deals the past decade:
1) Multiple Best selling author James Patterson - $100M....for 17 books
2) Amy Schumer - $9M
3) JK Rowling - $8M
3) Hillary Clinton - $8M
