The Democratic power couple earned just over $6.7 million in speaking fees last year, according to their 2015 tax returns.
Hillary clearly dialed back her paid speaking activity last year. She
earned only $1.5 million. That's way down from the $10.5 million she
garnered from speaking fees in 2014 and the $9.7 million she made in
2013.
The Clintons are millionaires, thanks to big businesses paying them
sizable sums to speak at corporate events. It's a great way to make
money, but it also comes with questions about whether the Clintons are
too tied to corporate cash.
The 2015 tax documents from the Clintons don't specify which
businesses paid Bill and Hillary to speak. In the past, Wall Street has frequently paid Hillary to
speak. Bernie Sanders, her democratic rival for the presidential
nomination, challenged her to release video or text of the speeches she
gave to big business. She never did.
"Nothing will change until we elect candidates who reject Wall Street money," a Sanders ad said, directly hitting Clinton.
The Hillary Clinton net
worth total of $31.3 million comes from analyzing her Public Financial
Disclosure Reports. Bill Clinton has an estimated net worth of $80
million. That gives a combined Bill and Hillary Clinton net worth of
$111 million dollars.
Barack Obama’s net worth
is $3.4 million. The Obama net worth sum comes from his required
personal financial disclosures, plus his $400,000 salary as U.S.
President.
Combined Bill and Hillary Clinton net worth 2002: $4,077,000
Barack, how can you increase you net worth? Just ask the Clintons.
