Chelsea Clinton lands her latest plush gig

She’ll only need to attend a handful of meetings per year with the Expedia folks, have virtually no duties and reel in some significant cash. It’s truly a wonderful life, isn’t it?



    Chelsea Clinton has joined Expedia’s board of directors.

    A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission this week shows the travel firm expanded the number of members on its board up from 13 to 14 members and voted for the former first daughter to take the new position.

    As MarketWatch notes, Clinton’s compensation will be a “standard” $45,000 a year, plus stock grants valued at $250,000 in accordance to the company’s proxy statement for its 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.

I don't particularly care how much she "earns". If the stockholders of Expedia have a problem with paying that Spawn of Hell a "standard" anything, they will definitely let the board know.

As I don't own stock in Expedia, I don't give a rat's ass and couldn't care less.

I think Expedia's shareholders should be POed by this. What expertise does she have in the travel industry? Or in profit-making business? I don't know of any business reason that makes this a good move, with one exception. This reeks of Expedia "investing" in someone Expedia manglement perceives as having a political future. IOW, paying early to play later.
