"The Clintons last made their returns public in 2000 when they reported an adjusted gross income of $416,039 for 1999. Since then, the former president has embarked on a number of business ventures and has made millions from speaking engagements and books.
In the tax returns, the former president describes his occupation as "Speaking & Writing."
Beside speeches and books, his biggest single business income is from his partnership with Yucaipa Global Opportunities Fund, a Los Angeles-based investment firm founded by longtime Clinton fundraiser Ron Burkle. Between 2003 and 2006, the returns show total Yucaipa partnership income of $12.5 million. The 2007 summary provided by the campaign lists $2.75 million in partnership income.
....
According to a summary of the seven years provided by the campaign, the former president's speech income since he left the White House totals $51.85 million and his income from his two books — "My Life " and "Giving" — totals $29.6 million, including a $15 million advance for "My Life."
.....
The campaign has said Clinton typically donates millions of dollars worth of free speeches to charities...."

They just donated US$10 m.Why so many people paid so high price tickets
attending Clinton speech?
''In the past eight years, Bill and Hillary Clinton earned a combined $109 million, with the former president collecting nearly half of that money as a speaker hired at times by companies that have been among his wife's most generous political supporters''
The considerable crossover between the couple's decades of political fundraising and their personal profit also extended at times to the former president's charity work and his presidential library, though many records related to those remain secret. What is clear is that numerous financial patrons -- individuals as well as large corporations -- repeatedly emerge in the Clintons' circle.

my cynical self tells me that whenever fortune or forbes magazine publishes its annual richest man list, LKY will just sit in his OSIM massage chair relaxing, sipping the singapore sling and smile, thinking aloud, "you guys don't know what you are talking about."

Earn so much, but can bring nothing to the next world.
Money doesn't motivate him.
Power motivates him.
He likes people to fear him and kowtow to him.
He likes people to follow his dictates.

i don't think the issue about Clinton earning was on his book tour and speeches, I think at least 30 million came from other questionable source that people are lookin at.

yeah.. he's more into power than money la. power brings in money anyway.
he'll die knowing that 30 years from now. there will always be that fear and dread that he will return from the dead when his name is whispered aloud..
haha kinda reminds me of the isrealites of the bible, when LKY said that he would return from the dead if SG ever gets into trouble or smth.
