Big Talkers Get Top Dollar
Looking for a speaker for your next meeting? Pols, pundits, and athletes are happy to oblige—if you’re willing to pay big bucks.

Network types and A-list journalists are cagey about what they charge—talkmeister John McLaughlin, Posties Bob Woodward and David Broder, and historian Michael Beschloss disclose their fees only upon request from potential clients.

But many top talkers aren’t shy. Former House majority leader Dick Armey, billed as “folksy” and “entertaining,” is available for $20,000 to $40,000 an appearance.

Associations are willing to pay because well-known speakers “add a level of interest to the meeting,” says Susan Sarfati, head of the Center for Association Leadership.

Here’s what some of Washington’s big talkers get.

$50,000 to $75,000
Bob Dole, former Senate majority leader

$30,000 to $50,000
Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security adviser
Darrell Green, ex-Redskin
