Hillary and Bill Clinton disclosed almost $1.7 million in new earnings from the former presidents speeches last year, according to the couples latest financial disclosure. Thats down almost $23 million, or 93 percent, from the prior 16 months.
The Clintons also reported earning between $172,508 and $1.2 million in dividends and interest from Jan. 1, 2015 through May 16, according to the required filing, which the Democratic presidential front-runners campaign released to the media Tuesday night.
The Clintons net worth, as indicated on the form, is between $11.3 million and $52.7 million -- not including their multimillion dollar homes in Washington and New York, any federal government retirement accounts they may have, or personal items such as furniture and artwork. The disclosure form requires reporting within wide ranges of values; the couples net worth totals didnt change from the financial disclosure that Hillary Clinton filed in May 2015.
Clintons campaign released the 11-page document after Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, issued a statement saying that he had filed his own 104-page disclosure and that he reported income of more than $557 million. Trumps campaign didnt release his actual disclosure form.

Not much of a difference here that I can see. Not a meaningful one, certainly.

(6,282 posts)Perhaps my use of the word "contribution" was a poor indicator of what I was trying to say. Sorry.
