Donald Trump Signs for Record Speaking Fee - $1,000,000 an Hour Agrees to Speak for Learning Annex in Three Cities NEW YORK, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- When Donald Trump does almost anything, he likes to do it in a very big way, and speaking fees are no exception. He's reached an Agreement with the Learning Annex to present three classes in 2005 titled "How to Succeed in Real Estate." Trump's fee will be a cool one million dollars for each one hour class. That's over $16,000 a minute! He's scheduled to teach in three cities -- Los Angeles on May 1st, New York October 23rd and Chicago on November 6th.

The previous highest fee paid was $28,000 -- paid to Ron Wood nearly 20 years ago when he was a member of the Rolling Stones. In each city Trump will be the featured speaker at the Learning Annex Real Estate Wealth Expo which will include many other real estate experts as well. According to Learning Annex President and Founder Bill Zanker, Trump's TV show The Apprentice has made him the world's biggest celebrity and there is now far more interest in his classes than anyone would have possibly imagined. "The last time he taught for us over 20,000 students came -- and this year he's even bigger. I know that a million dollars an hour will get him into the Guinness Book of World Records -- but he's worth it!" The Learning Annex Real Estate Wealth Expo is a two-day weekend event where consumers learn about the latest real estate opportunities, and how to create wealth for themselves. They are given the opportunity to do business with 100's of exhibitors on the show floor and learn from the best in the business. When Donald Trump last spoke at the Learning Annex, he urged his students to "Think Big -- If you're going to think at all -- Think Big!" He's seems to have followed his own advice.
