Taxpayers Paid Bill Clinton Nearly $1 Million in 2015
Bill has collected twice as much money as Jimmy Carter since 2001
"The Clinton family has amassed a fortune in the form of six-figure speaking fees, mansions in New York and D.C. worth an estimated $8.2 million, and some of the largest multi-million dollar book deals in history since leaving the presidency “dead broke” in 2001.
Hillary and Bill Clinton revealed that they had assets valued between $11 million and nearly $53 million on her 2016 campaign finance disclosures. Some have estimated that the couple has a net worth of more than $100 million. The power couple earned nearly $30 million in 2014 alone. That year, Clinton charged the taxpayers $950,000 to cover his pension and expenses.
Taxpayers provide a steady stream of income to the Clintons each year with a pension indexed to inflation that catapults the former president into the top 5 percent of American earners. The $218,000 he received from taxpayers was nearly four times higher than the national median income of $56,516. It was the largest pension check of any of the four living presidents, although President George W. Bush surpassed Clinton’s total spending after security costs, office space, and miscellaneous charges are factored in."
