Lifetime of …
Honoring Chelsea Clinton with a Lifetime Impact award would be akin to giving President Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize his first year in office. The resounding question for both is: For what?
The latter event actually happened in 2009, of course, with nominations closing for the prize only two weeks after he took office.
Now the former event has happened, with Variety choosing to honor the former First Daughter next month. Clinton, 37, is being honored “for her work with Alliance for a Healthier Generation, which empowers kids to develop lifelong healthy habits.”
Her work life also includes being paid around $300,000 to be on the board of Expedia, being paid $600,000 annually by NBC – $26,724 for every minute she was on the air, according to New York magazine – and raising money – or “unlock[ing] human potential through the power of creative collaboration” – for her family’s Clinton Foundation.
