I think that looking at it for an hour of work isn’t right, though. She may be performing for an hour, but the work that it takes to create that hour of comedy gold counts as many more hours of unpaid work. Writing, rehearsing, promoting, those things don’t pay on their own, and they take a ton of time. Say she makes…

Agreed! Down with the the culture where everyone stays in their own box and cannot compare to make sure they are getting fairly compensated.
I’m enough of a geek to want to figure out what she really gets to take home from that $20,000 a night, if she has to pay two other performers and her agent and manager out of it. So she gets $20,000, then her manager and her agent each get 10% ($4,000). And she gives her friend a third, and that’s ... let’s say…
Ding ding ding.
Yeah, I’ve said elsewhere, but I’ve had personal experience with this. Some deeply unfair compensations were being made and talking about our salaries amongst ourselves was the only way it changed.

Hillary Clinton has been paid thousands for speaking engagements, as has Trump (http://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-donald-trump-makes-speaking-fees-compared-everyone-else-2015-8).

Ehhhh. I’m not saying I hate Tiffany but I don’t feel bad for her either. My feelings towards her are largely apathetic with a hint of derision.
New slogan for Ivanka’s clothing line explains a lot:
Tiffany is 23 years old - so she’s old enough to know better, but only just. Let’s give her another couple years to get her head on straight before lumping her in with Melania, who is A. twice Tiffany’s age and B. CHOSE THIS.
Meanwhile Kellyanne is still showing her support for Ivanka’s fashion line..
