Clintons Release Their Tax Secrets. Bet They Made More Than You!

It may take a village to raise a child, but it only took Barack Obama’s openness to get the Clinton’s to release their tax returns. Late Friday, April 4, the Clintons finally unveiled their tax returns from 2000 to 2007—click here to get the full info release, or scroll down—and it turns out that since they left office, the duo have grossed $109 million.

Here are the Clinton’s biggest hauls:

Senator Clinton’s Senate Salary: $1,051,606
President Clinton’s Presidential Pension: $1,217,250
Senator Clinton’s Book Income: $10,457,083
President Clinton’s Book Income: $29,580,525
President Clinton’s Speech Income: $51,855,599

Our favorite part? That he still collects a pension! We were convinced that no one still got those anymore. Very retro.

And, why did they release the info on Friday afternoon? Check back on MainStreet.com on Monday morning when we’ll tell you the best time for you to release your sensitive news. We’ll also tell you how you can make some extra coin giving speeches. Maybe not $51.8 million worth, but something.

Have a good weekend! Considering what the Clintons made for putting pen to paper, it might be a good time to get back to writing that book!
