I am pasting this article here to ensure these details and the numbers stated are preserved as our discussions both in this thread and in others will no doubt reference them, the link to the original article is included for anyone looking for updates from the publisher beyond todays date:
Chelsea Clinton raked in around $9 million since 2011 for her work on the board of an Internet investment firm controlled by a pal of her moms, a report said Monday.
The former first daughter, since 2011, has received an annual retainer of $50,000 for serving on the board of IAC/InterActiveCorp, which is controlled by business and television mogul Barry Diller, according to financial publication Barrons.
But its the $250,000 worth of restricted IAC stock units Clinton received on top of the retainer that lead to the windfall, according to the report.
Clinton, 39, reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission last month that she owned $8.95 million worth of IAC stock.
Stock prices for the company, which has an ownership stake in several ventures, including Tinder, Vimeo and HomeAdvisor, have surged since 2017.
Clinton, a graduate of Stanford, Oxford and Columbia, began her career working for management consulting firm McKinsey & Company and investment firm Avenue Capital Group.
She then earned $600,000 a year working as a special correspondent for NBC News in 2013 and 2014, Politico reported at the time.
In March 2017, she was named to the board of Expedia Group, earning an estimated $250,000. Diller, a donor to Chelseas mom Hillary Clinton, also controls Expedia Group.
Did anyone think DH was worth that kind of money? It was NOT! It was just a way to probably funnel money to someone if you ask me!
In fact the entire site was shut down, and who knows who owns it now!? IAC sold off Dictionary.com to Dan Gilbert (Owner of QuickenLoans, and the Cavaliers).
Makes me really wonder.. Then she was paid big bucks by NBC?
I don't know... I can't see how her expertise as a board member for any of these internet companies, outside of being the daughter of the Clintons, could have been worth so much!
I can understand why the parents of these career Politicians do it, they love their kids - but that doesn't make it right!

If you are offended by nepotism and cronyism, why then would you support the king of both in a reelection bid?
In private civilian life nepotism is expected and even proper in many cases...
But not in public office! Trumps kids were not ever given anything special on account of their public service before they entered office, thus it's not quite the same. Of course now that their Dad is President I am sure there are lots of people watching them to ensure they aren't getting the same kind of pay-to-play kickbacks as Chealse or Hunter. Typical liberal double standard.
