    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?

        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.

            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.
