Kimberly Guilfoyle listed for up to $100K per speech after exit as US ambassador to Greece
WASHINGTON, DC: Kimberly Guilfoyle, who was asked to resign as US ambassador to Greece last week amid allegations of financial misconduct, is being advertised for speaking engagements with estimated fees of up to $100,000 per appearance.
Guilfoyle’s profile on Speaker Booking Agency lists her as available for corporate appearances, speeches, virtual events, fireside chats, and meet-and-greets.
The listings come as questions remain over allegations involving a Trump donor and a $100,000 credit card bill, which Guilfoyle’s representatives have repeatedly disputed.
Kimberly Guilfoyle seeks up to $100,000 per speech
According to the booking agency’s website, Guilfoyle’s estimated speaking fees range from $50,000 to $100,000, with West Palm Beach, Florida, listed as her departure point.
Her biography does not mention her appointment as ambassador to Greece, and it is unclear when the profile was first published or whether she has secured any bookings at the advertised rates.
A rival agency, All American Speakers, previously listed Guilfoyle for in-person appearances costing up to $100,000 and virtual events priced between $20,000 and $30,000.
Her profile is no longer active on that website.
One source cited by the New York Post described the potential fees as “the ultimate political grift,” adding, “You spend years rubbing shoulders with powerful people, build yourself a profile, and then turn around and charge up to $100,000 for the privilege of hearing you talk.”
Another source said that “it’s a pretty extraordinary business model. Get close to the President, build your brand off his political movement, and then see how much people will pay to hear from you.”
The source added that “the Trump orbit has become its own cottage industry.”
A separate source acknowledged that accepting speaking fees is not inherently improper for a former public figure but questioned what clients would receive in exchange for fees reaching six figures.
Kimberly Guilfoyle faces $100,000 donor payment allegations
Guilfoyle’s departure followed reports about an alleged request for financial assistance from Republican donor Eric Deters.
According to a Wall Street Journal report published on October 7, Deters alleged that Guilfoyle had asked him to pay a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing in July 2025.
He claimed she offered to help him gain access to senior administration officials but said he did not make the payment.
A subsequent report published by the newspaper on October 14 said Guilfoyle had told White House officials that the messages were generated by artificial intelligence.
The report said officials did not believe her explanation. Guilfoyle’s attorney, Jesse Binnall, previously disputed the authenticity of the messages while maintaining that Deters owed her approximately $150,000 for speaking engagements and consulting work.
Deters disputes that account.
On October 13, former White House press secretary Katie Zacharia confirmed that the administration had asked Guilfoyle to resign. Guilfoyle later announced that her tenure as ambassador was ending and rejected the allegations.
Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world. From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people. During my tenure, we have helped secure historic agreements to expand American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, advanced the Vertical Corridor to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy, strengthened our defense and security partnership with a critical NATO ally, and expanded opportunities for American businesses and investment throughout the region. I am especially proud of the role our Embassy has played in strengthening American energy dominance, advancing economic cooperation, and ensuring that the United States remains the indispensable leader in Southeast Europe.

“These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity,” she wrote.
“I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.”
