Malala yusofzai and greta earns much more doing the same circuit.
Theresa May has already made a MILLION on the public speaking circuit but won't earn as much as her male peers - including Boris Johnson -because men are better at 'chasing the dollar', says expert

Theresa May may have already earned a cool million in public speaking engagements since resigning from number 10 in May 2019 - but she's still unlikely to rake in as much as her male peers, according to one expert.
The former PM, who said she'd like to spend more time on hobbies such as walking and cooking after she departed Number 10, has been focusing instead on a rather more lucrative venture - entertaining well-heeled guests at big-ticket speaking events around the globe.
Eight engagements in a year have already brought in a million pounds for Mrs May, which works out at over £100,000 per gig, as she recounts stories from her three years as the British Prime Minister.
Former Prime Minister Theresa May was paid roughly £150,000 a year to run the country, but has made nearly five times that in the 12 months since leaving office thanks to the lucrative public speaking circuit

- Former PM has earned around a million pounds for global public speaking engagements since resigning from Downing Street in May 2019
- However, the circuit is still dominated by male voices, says expert Professor Heather Mcgregor of Edinburgh Business School
- Men, including Boris Johnson, who regularly appeared on the circuit while London Mayor, are more 'single-minded' when it comes to higher fees
- McGregor was joined by public speaking expert Viv Groksop in the discussion on Woman's Hour, hosted by Jane Garvey
