Mr. McConaughey could talk about anything and people would listen. People love to hear his voice, and that’s why getting him to give a speech at your school will cost you a pretty penny. The 45-year-old actor has been offered $135,000, plus travel expenses, to give the University of Houston Commencement Ceremony speech.

According to the school, booking agent Celebrity Talent International will get a 15% commission for making the speaking engagement possible.

And we know you’re probably thinking, “Does Matthew really need an extra $100k in his pocket?” And the answer is no, which is why he is donating the money to his Just Keep Livin Foundation.
