Kimberly Guilfoyle may have lost her prestigious job as US ambassador to Greece — but the former ambassador is now being advertised for speaking engagements commanding up to $100,000 per appearance.
The 57-year-old former prosecutor and television personality, who was ousted from her diplomatic post to Greece last week amid allegations of financial misconduct.
However, she remains listed on Speaker Booking Agency’s website with estimated appearance fees — for corporate appearances, speaking engagements, virtual events, fireside chats and meet-and-greets — ranging from $50,000 to $100,000.
One source described the potential six-figure speaking fees as “the ultimate political grift.”
The source added, “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.”
The Post has reached out to Speaker Booking Agency and Guilfoyle’s representatives for comment.
Guilfoyle’s profile lists her as “available” for bookings, with West Palm Beach, Florida, as her departure point — although her biography is outdated and doesn’t mention her appointment to Greece. It’s unknown when she was first listed on Speakers Booking Agency.
A rival agency, All American Speakers, previously advertised Guilfoyle at up to $100,000 for in-person appearances and $20,000 to $30,000 for virtual events, but her profile there is no longer active.
It remains to be seen whether Guilfoyle, who was previously engaged to Donald Trump Jr., has secured any paid bookings since her removal — or whether she can actually command the advertised fees.
“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,” one source said.
“The Trump orbit has become its own cottage industry.”
Another Post source said there was nothing inherently improper about a former public figure accepting speaking fees but questioned what Guilfoyle would really bring to audiences and bookers.
“Washington has always had a revolving door between politics and profit, but this takes it to another level. The real question is what someone thinks they’re getting for a six-figure speaking fee,” the source said.
“Because when those fees reach $50,000 to $100,000, legitimate questions arise about whether buyers are paying for expertise, celebrity or perceived political access.”
The listings are particularly striking given the allegations that helped bring her diplomatic career crashing down.
The White House confirmed on October 13 that Guilfoyle had been asked to resign, abruptly ending her assignment in Athens, and seemingly severing her ties to the Trump family.
According to a Wall Street Journal report published on October 7, Trump donor and former Kentucky congressional candidate Eric Deters alleged Guilfoyle asked him to pay a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her July 2025 Senate confirmation hearing.
Deters claimed she offered to help him secure access to senior administration officials. He said he did not make the payment.
Guilfoyle’s attorney, Jesse Binnall, disputed the authenticity of messages cited in the reporting and insisted Deters actually owed Guilfoyle approximately $150,000 for previous speaking engagements and consulting work before she became ambassador.
Deters disputes that account.
Other reports have raised questions about Guilfoyle’s relationships to Greek businessmen, her promotion of a Greek construction and energy company and luxury travel during her diplomatic tenure.
The State Department’s inspector general has reportedly begun examining allegations concerning her conduct.
Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing and vowed to clear her name.
Trump publicly distanced himself from Guilfoyle, who split from Trump Jr. in 2024.
“She wasn’t a member of my family,” the president told reporters on October 13, while saying she had performed well as ambassador but the administration was unhappy with the reports surrounding her.
The Post reported last week that sources expected Guilfoyle to return to Florida after leaving the official ambassadorial residence in Athens.
In an October 13 statement, Guilfoyle described serving as ambassador as the honor of a lifetime and reaffirmed her allegiance to Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the America First movement.
But only time will tell whether the controversy that cost her diplomatic career will damage her commercial appeal.
