From: George W Bush charged veterans’ charity $100,000 to speak at fundraiser:

George W Bush charged a military veterans’ charity $100,000 to speak at a fundraiser in 2012.

“It was great because he reduced his normal fee of $250,000 down to $100,000,” Meredith Iler, the former chair of Helping a Hero, told ABC News.

The former president was also provided with a private jet to travel to the event in Houston at a cost of $20,000, ABC News reported, citing unnamed officials.

A spokesman for the former president, Freddy Ford, confirmed the payment to ABC News.

That's like your wife going out and buying a $500 dress, then telling you she saved you $200, because it normally sells for $700.
