His speaking fee per even was about $100K. He's was a professor at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement (UPenn) that was worth about 540K/year.
Then he had a couple of books on top of that.
He's worth about $10M-$15M according to Bloomberg/Forbes.
Does crime necessarily have to figure into this? Or is there some fact I'm missing?

I know what a professor at LSU makes, even the heads of the departments.
Nobody makes $540K/yr. Why pay Biden that?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Penn has more money? They sell prestige? They stand to make more money with a former VP as part of their faculty?
Why does Harvard pay more than LSU?
Simple explanations don't have to be sinister.

The average professor's salary at Penn was $214,00).

Same reason that lobby companies pay former government officials large sums of money so that the officials can be on their letterhead and make phone calls to introduce and connect people
Same reason companies MAY do business with President Trumps children when other equivalent companies may be better
Same reason a Ukraine company would have VP Bidens son on the board.
Influence, publicity and (potential) access to power

Not true. “Superstar” professors can make that and more, even at public universities. For instance, Terrence Tao at UCLA makes around $500k per year.
I didn't even have to look him up. I wonder how much of that is due to his cultural cache, among a niche, of having the highest IQ in the world.
Education is extremely important.
