The Associated Press reports that Bill and Hillary Clinton made $109.2 million in the years since they left the White House. According to Drudge Report, Bill was the big winner. Details include:
-
Speech Income: $51,855,599
-
Book Income: $29,580,525
-
Presidential Pension: $1,217,250
By contrast, Hillary's income was relatively small:
-
Book Income: $10,457,083
-
Senate Salary: $1,051,606
They paid $33.7 million in Federal taxes and gave $10.2 million to charity. I would not be surprised if Clintons have had the most successful post White House cash-in of any presidential couple. No wonder she wants to get back there again. Think of how much more she could make after being president!
