How could Kimberly Tinfoyle be paid at a rate of $2.6B a year? that sounds impossible!
Before we start, allow me to make something clear. Ms. Tinfoyle did not get paid $2.6 Billion. She was compensated for her services at a rate equivalent to someone making $2.6 Billion a year.
Ms. Tinfoyle was invited to speak at Trump’s Rally, paid for by several different PACs and nonprofits such as the Republican Attorneys General Association, the Tea Party Express, Turning Point, and others associated with Trump, his campaign, and his Stop the Steal efforts. It also includes the nebulous Election Defense Fund, which appears to be nothing more than a slush fund under Trump’s control that has raised $250 million. Although organizers claim that staging the event only cost $300,000, ProPublica reports that others close to the organizers say it was more like $3 million. Open Secrets reports that the Jan 6 committee states the figure was more than $5 million.
The committee also revealed that from this purported “Election Defense Fund,” the campaign paid “over $5 million to Event Strategies Inc, the company that ran President Trump's January 6th rally on the Ellipse.”
Committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. "So not only was there the big lie, there was the big rip off. Donors deserve to know where their funds are really going."
Whether it’s $3 million, $5 million, or more. Rep. Zoe Lofgren tells us that they had more than enough money to pay Ms. Tinfoyle $60,000 to speak. $60,000 isn’t out of the ordinary for a top industry expert to speak for an hour at an annual global conference, however:
The Election Defense Fund paid Kimberly Tinfoyle $60,000
to give a 170-second speech at
Trump’s Insurrection Pre-game Show
simply to introduce DJ Trump Jr.!
Now we need to do some calculations:
For that 170-second speech, Kimberly Tinfoyle was paid $353.00 per second.
By factoring it out, we can determine that $350 per second is the equivalent of:
$21,180 per Minute,
$1,270,800 per hour,
$10,166,400 per 8 hour day, and,
$50,832,000 PER 40 HOUR WORK WEEK !!!
If we assume that Trump donors could pay Ms. Tinfoyle for a full year of work at the same rate and that she would get paid vacation leave, paid sick leave, and other paid time off as necessary, this is what we’d find:
Kimberly Tinfoyle would be making $2,643,264,000 per year !!!
She has to be the most excessively-rewarded Trumpist grifter in history. $2.6B/yr. Now run for the toilet and throw up!
