Clintons' post-White House earnings: $109M

WASHINGTON, April 4 (UPI) -- Former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., earned a combined $109 between 2000 and 2007, U.S. tax records indicate.

The couple's post-White House earnings were released Friday as part of the Clintons' joint tax returns, largely fulfilling a promise Hillary Clinton made during a televised presidential debate among Democratic contenders, The Washington Post reported.

Bill Clinton reported earning $51 million in speaking fees and the two collected more than $30 million from book deals, the returns indicated.

"The Clintons have now made public 30 years of tax returns, a record matched by few people in public service," campaign spokesman Jay Carson said in a statement. "None of Hillary Clinton's presidential opponents have revealed anything close to this amount of personal financial information."

Carson said the returns show the couple paid more than $33 million in federal taxes during that time period. They also donated more than $10 million to charities.

The Clintons' 2007 tax returns were not released, but the campaign said the Clintons had an estimated income of $20.4 million and paid $5.1 million in federal income taxes in 2007, USA Today reported.
