Former President Barack Obama has agreed to speak at a Wall Street
conference for $400,000, according to a new report.
Obama will appear at Cantor Fitzgerald LP’s healthcare conference in
September, Fox Business Network first reported Monday.
Fox Business said it confirmed Obama’s appearance with senior people at
Cantor, a financial services firm.
Obama will serve as the keynote speaker for one day at the company's event,
sources there told Fox Business.
The network's sources said Obama has signed a contract for the speech with
the mid-size investment bank in New York.
Cantor is waiting to coordinate with Obama before making a formal
announcement, it continued.
Obama can reportedly back out of the arrangement if scheduling conflicts or
other concerns arise, it added.
The former president’s reported speaking fee is nearly twice the price
commanded by Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.
Obama reappeared on the public stage Monday, making his first public remarks
since leaving the White House at the future site of his presidential
library.
The former president did not mention President Trump or political commentary
during his appearance at the University of Chicago.
“There’s a reason why I am always optimistic, even when things look like
they are sometimes not going the way I want,” he said at a roundtable about
youth participation in civic life. “And that’s because of young people
like this.”
Obama’s remarks came just days before his successor reaches his 100th day
in office.
