Chelsea Clinton is leaving her role as a special correspondent at NBC News in order to, as she wrote on her Facebook page, "continue focusing on my work at the Clinton Foundation... as Marc and I look forward to welcoming our first child."

Clinton has been working for the network since 2011, and according to Politico, had an annual salary of $600,000 — the equivalent of "$26,724 for every minute she was on-air."
