Chelsea Clinton: I tried to care about money but couldn’t

New York Daily News – by Leslie Larson

Hillary Clinton insists she isn’t “well-off” and now daughter Chelsea, according to a recent interview, claims she couldn’t care less about money.

“I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,” she told Fast Company in an interview that ran in the magazine’s May edition, explaining why she gave up lucrative gigs to join her family’s philanthropic foundation.  

Comparing her experience to the average millennial, the 34-year-old former first daughter defended jumping around to different careers — from consulting to a hedge fund to academia to journalism — before finding her true calling working with her parents.

“It is frustrating, because who wants to grow up and follow their parents? I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents … it’s a funny thing to realize I feel called to this work, both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make,” she continued about her reluctant status as a boomerang kid.

The Clinton name likely opened doors for the political heiress, including an eye-popping $600,000 annual salary for an irregular stint as an NBC special correspondent, but Chelsea insists her work speaks for itself.

“I will just always work harder (than anybody else) and hopefully perform better,” said Clinton, who along with former banker husband Marc Mezvinsky, purchased a $10.5-million Gramercy Park apartment in 2013. “And hopefully, over time, I preempt and erase whatever expectations people have of me not having a good work ethic, or not being smart, or not being motivated.”

The comments, while not new, have nonetheless garnered a new round of attention in recent days after her mom and likely 2016 candidate, Hillary, was criticized for remarks suggesting she exited the White House “dead broke” and wasn’t “truly well off” despite millions of dollars in public speaking earnings.

  1. Forget it, you lying little bitch. You’re no better than your dyke of a mother, and I don’t believe any of the crap spewing out of your mouth either.

    She was raised by two lying, murderous, whores, and now she’s trying to pass herself off as some kind of angel.

    It’s real easy to claim that you don’t care about money when you’re covered in the stuff.

  2. Yes folks, don’t you know the Clintons are “down home people” and could care less about money. Next, we’ll see a photo of the Clintons living in a Tent City cause they’re in the same boat we are only theirs is a luxury yacht and ours is a Walmart inflatable raft.

    1. She is a bypoduct of 2 crooked lawyers even though that is redundant! Webb Hubbell is clearly her biological father and the rung of the ladder that Killery had to climb to become senior partner of the firm she was employed with at the time of Chelseas birth. Another dirty khazarian princess

  3. If Hitlery can’t become the first woman president, she is going to do all she can to get her daughter to be.

  4. Is she worried about dead innocent children from Mena? People who “earned” their money as they do and did certainly don’t want to be caring too much about it.

  5. Oh bullshit Chelsea … you’re married to a banker!

    Mezvinsky, a banker and fellow Stanford alumnus, is the 36-year-old son of former Iowa congressman Ed Mezvinsky and former Pennsylvania congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy.

    And last I heard you work at a Manhattan hedge fund.
