Speaking fee
A speaking fee is a payment awarded to an individual for speaking at a public event.
Motivational speakers, businesspersons, facilitators, and celebrities are able to garner significant earnings in speaking fees or honoraria. In 2013, $10,000 was considered a lower limit for speakers brokered by speakers bureaus, $40,000 a regular fee for well-known authors, and famous politician were reported to charge about $100,000 and more.[1]
In contrast, speakers in academic conferences and similar events rarely get significant speaking fees or none at all. Sometimes speakers will even pay for attending and presenting at a conference, although it is fairly common that they are rewarded with free attendance.[2] Researchers and academics consider conference presentations an honour and necessary for their careers, rather than a service. Scientists who become popular authors or otherwise famous are an exception, and can earn similar sums as celebrities. [3]
