MOSCOW\u2013Former US President Barack Obama will receive USD 400,000 for his speech at the September conference, organized by Cantor Fitzgerald bank, Fox Business reported.<\/p>\n

The event will be dedicated to health problems and attended by heads of leading Wall Street companies.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the former head of the state repeatedly criticized bankers and heads of major financial institutions, blaming them for the global financial crisis.<\/p>\n

In particular, in 2009 he called Wall Street bankers “fat cats” and said he had other reasons to run for presidency than to help a bunch of Wall Street bankers.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Post, Obama has already received another USD 400,000 for his speech at an event organized by A & E Networks, where he was interviewed by historian Doris Kearns Goodwin for one and a half hours.<\/p>\n

Forbes wrote that since 2005 Barack and Michelle Obama have earned more than USD 20.5 million, with only USD 3.1 million coming from the president’s salary.<\/p>\n
