Trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, known for his partnership with Bud Light, is making headlines again, this time for the hefty price tag attached to his college campus speeches. According to Young America’s Foundation’s New Guard, Mulvaney’s agent, Crista Spadafore, confirmed that his honorarium for a speech will cost a staggering $40,000, almost double what he charged last year.
The controversial figure’s recent promotion with Bud Light resulted in a significant loss of market cap value for Anheuser-Busch, the parent company. Despite the backlash, Mulvaney’s popularity seems undeterred, as he seeks speaking opportunities for the upcoming school year. His booking page offers a range of subjects, including LGBTQIA+ advocacy, diversity, equity & inclusion, and women’s empowerment.
Mulvaney has been vocal about his journey, sharing vulnerable moments with his audience, such as undergoing laser hair removal while still having a full beard. He aims to bring trans joy to scripted content and hopes to see more representation of trans characters in love and succeeding on-screen.
The influencer previously criticized Bud Light for not publicly standing by him, claiming that he felt scared to leave his house after their partnership. Despite the challenges, Mulvaney’s influence continues to grow, earning him an invitation to the White House from President Joe Biden last October.
As he continues to advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and representation, Dylan Mulvaney’s speaking fees and popularity seem to soar, solidifying his place as a prominent figure in the influencer community.
