Last night we learned that the “dead broke” Clintons are actually anything but, according to Hillary Clinton’s latest personal financial disclosure. Aside from nearly doubling their income, with a staggering amount coming from paid speeches, we also found some other interesting factoids:
Hillary Clinton earned over $5 million from her 2014 memoir, Hard Choices.
Bill Clinton still gets an Arkansas State pension, even as taxpayers foot his $16 million post-presidency lifestyle.
Hillary Clinton is a trustee in 4 different trusts.
Hillary Clinton made almost $12 million from 51 speeches, 10 of them were abroad. That’s an average of over $230,000 per speech.
Bill Clinton made over $13 million from 53 speeches, 5 of them were abroad. That’s an average of $250,000 per speech.
The Clintons did not disclose their speeches when the fees went to the Clinton Foundation, despite government ethics regulations.
3 of Bill Clinton’s speeches abroad had a price tag of $500,000… each.
Since Hillary announced her candidacy for president, Bill has given 4 speeches (you know, to keep paying the bills).
The Clintons also opened a Vanguard 500 Index Mutual Fund in 2014. The fund includes holdings in some of the very companies Hillary and Democrats decry, including
- Exxon Mobil Corp.
- Wells Fargo & Co.
- JPMorgan Chase & Co.
- Chevron Corp.
- Bank of America Corp.
- Citigroup Inc.
- Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
- Occidental Petroleum Corp.
- Anadarko Petroleum Corp.
- Valero Energy Corp.
