Bill Clinton Has Charmed Big Bucks Out Of McManus To Please The Crowd In Limerick

Bill Clinton will be flying out of Shannon this Sunday with heavy pockets as JP McManus is preparing to write him up a cheque with so many zeros it makes our heads hurt!

The former president will give a 20-minute speech at the University of Limerick tomorrow to celebrate JP’s 32 county scholarship and is believed to be taking home a whopping €195,000 for the favour.

According to the Irish Examiner, luxury-loving Bill is jetting into the country on an executive jet to please the 600 invite-only guests at JP’s annual event.

A source said:  "The fee is not an issue for those seeking him. It’s just getting him, such is his huge popularity as a speaker at major international events and his massive schedule."

Speaking yesterday, JP said that he had difficulty getting hold of Bill, but managed to coax him into visiting Limerick for the first time since 1998 with the help of friends.

"Well he had a lot to do with the peace process in Ireland. So I thought he was the ideal man to get,” said JP.

If we haven’t made it clear, we are huge fans of Bill here in Her.ie that it has even come to the point of being a bit creepy.

However, for nearly 200K we really think he’d want to be pulling the inspirational words out of the bag and we hope he hasn’t used up all his lines on his bestie Barack.

Nevertheless, we’re still up for that pint if you are Bill and judging by your hourly take-home pay it looks like you’ll be buying them!
