Yanis Varoufakis accused of profiting from Greek crisis by charging £40,000 speaker fees
The radical Marxist, who was sacked as Greek finance minister, is charging lavish lecture fees, says an email from the London Speaker Bureau
Yanis Varoufakis, who was sacked from the finance ministry in July, has since reinvented himself as a speaker on the international conference circuit. The motorbike-riding Marxist is now managed by the London Speaker Bureau, which describes itself as the largest agency of its kind in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
An email from an agent of the London Speaker Bureau, published by Proto Thema, an Athens weekly, said that Mr Varoufakis now charges $60,000 (£40,000) for one speech given “outside of Europe”. The sacked minister has a sliding scale of fees, according to the email. Mr Varoufakis will speak anywhere inside Europe for $5,000 (£3,000) – and he will give a university lecture for $1,500 (£1,000). "
