WASHINGTON -- Former President Bill Clinton collected $10.2 million in speaking fees last year, including a significant amount from some corporations that are big backers of his wife's presidential campaign.
Newly released personal financial-disclosure filings for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y.) show her husband was paid between $75,000 and $450,000 apiece for nearly five dozen speeches, making 2006 his most lucrative year as a speaker since leaving the White House in 2001.
WEALTH DISCLOSURES
See more disclosure overviews, including information on Sens. Obama, Clinton and McCain.
• Read Hillary Clinton's disclosure form, provided by FECInfo.com.Over the years, Mr. Clinton has earned more than $40 million on the speaking circuit, mostly in appearances overseas in places such as Australia, South Africa and England, where he typically charges about $250,000 a speech, according to the financial statements. The statements about Mrs. Clinton's finances were released yesterday with those of other members of Congress, who are required to fill out annual disclosures of their families' financial assets.
The reports show Mr. Clinton's gift of gab has helped pull the Clintons out of debt and given them a net worth of at least $10 million. When Mr. Clinton left office, the couple had few assets and owed more than $1 million in legal fees. Today, the Clintons have at least $5 million in a Citibank deposit account, another $5 million in a blind trust, between $100,000 and $250,000 invested in a London-ba<x>sed retail jeweler, at least $15,000 invested in a company that helps process foreign utility bills in India and more than $250,000 of unexercised stock options in a firm that specializes in mailing lists.
Financial reports released by other presidential candidates show that Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain's family wealth is almost exclusively held by his wife, Cindy. Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.) reported assets valued between $460,000 and $1.1 million.
A handful of speeches were paid for by companies that are major sources of campaign donations for the presidential campaign of Sen. Clinton.
Last fall, Citigroup Inc. paid Mr. Clinton a total of $300,000 for a pair of speeches in New York. In the first three months of this year, the company and its employees have contributed $101,000 to Mrs. Clinton's campaign, making Citigroup Mrs. Clinton's single largest source of campaign cash.
Cisco Systems Inc. paid Mr. Clinton $300,000 for two speeches last year in Monterey, Calif., and Las Vegas, Nev. The company and its employees rank as 13th-largest giver to the Clinton campaign this year, with $44,000 in contributions, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., another top contributor to Mrs. Clinton, paid Mr. Clinton $150,000 for a speech last fall in Kiawah Island, S.C..
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the fifth-largest contributor to Mrs. Clinton's campaign, paid Mr. Clinton a total of $650,000 for three speeches in 2005. Goldman Sachs didn't pay for any of Mr. Clinton's speeches last year, according to the forms.
Other U.S. interests that paid Mr. Clinton for speeches last year include the Biotechnology Industry Organization, International Business Machines Corp., General Motors Corp., the Mortgage Bankers Association and the National Association of Realtors.
The financial forms indicate that many of the investments are in Mr. Clinton's name. They also show that Mrs. Clinton received $80,503 in royalties for her book "It Takes a Village" and $350,025 for her book "Living History."
The only sources of debt for the Clintons' these days are a pair of Citibank credit cards that they pay off in full each month, according to the financial-disclosure forms.
Mrs. Clinton is far from the wealthiest candidate in the 2008 presidential race. Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney is worth between $190 million and $250 million, according to financial forms his campaign released earlier this year.
