Bill and Hillary Clinton have given
more than 1,450 speeches (either together or individually) since 2001. Want to
know how much money they’ve pocketed from those speeches? CNN reports:
(CNN) Hillary Clinton and her
husband, former President Bill Clinton, combined to earn more than $153 million
in paid speeches from 2001 until Hillary Clinton launched her presidential
campaign last spring, a CNN analysis shows.
In total, the two gave 729 speeches
from February 2001 until May, receiving an average payday of $210,795 for each
address. The two also reported at least $7.7 million for at least 39 speeches
to big banks, including Goldman Sachs and UBS, with Hillary Clinton, the
Democratic 2016 front-runner, collecting at least $1.8 million for at least eight
speeches to big banks.
The analysis was made at a time when
Hillary Clinton has been under scrutiny for her ties to Wall Street, which has
been a major focus of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail.
“What being part of the
establishment is, is in the last quarter, having a super PAC that raised $15
million from Wall Street, that throughout one’s life raised a whole lot of
money from the drug companies and other special interests,” Sanders said at
Thursday’s Democratic debate hosted by MSNBC.
