What did he do with the speaking fees? He laundered it through his charitable foundation to save on taxes and ensure he had a large slush fund to secretly make more money. Whoops, wrong former President.
In all seriousness, getting invited to speak at a charity event should never result in getting paid any more than traveling expenses.
Well, I guess that is one opinion. I think there are many angles to such fees and expenses that people may not be aware of. Your comment about a certain former President is a good example. We only know the one side the "journalists" at ABC wanted to report.
