And the former vice president picked up a $150,000 paycheck for his appearance in Florida last month, a document obtained by Biden, who used the talk to further fuel speculation he will run for president in 2020, was reportedly given the all-star treatment for his talk at Broward Center.

A detailed contract shows how the Democrat wanted angel hair pomodoro, caprese salad and raspberry sorbet with biscotti for dinner.

It also states that Biden must have bottled water, Coke Zero, regular Coke, orange Gatorade and black coffee with mixed nuts and a fruit plate as snacks.

Tickets for the event, which included a VIP 'meet & greet' started at $50 and went up to $300. 

'An Evening with Vice President Joe Biden' promised a 'moderated discussion' which would 'go beyond the 24-hour news cycle and cover a wide range of topics and include a Q&A with the audience'. 

But any questions from president and CEO of the Broward Center Kelley Shanley had to be submitted two weeks in advance and audience questions were moderated, the contract shows.  

Sandy Stoller of Boynton Beach, Florida, who went to the event told The Sun-Sentinel she was 'very surprised' by his fee. 

Diana Martens, of Coral Springs, added: 'All these former politicians are certainly monetizing their experience.'
