WASHINGTON: Hillary and Bill Clinton earned a combined $109 million between 2000 and 2007, revealed in tax returns released after demands for transparency from her Democratic foe Barack Obama.
The records show the former first couple, who were not wealthy until they left the White House, paid $33 million in federal taxes, at a 31 per cent tax rate, and made $10 million in charitable donations.
The former president piled up $51 million in income for speaking engagements over the period, noted in tax returns from 2000 to 2006 and estimated accounts for 2007.
Senator Clinton made $10.5 million from her book "Living History" while former president Clinton made $29.5 million in book income, including 23 million for his memoir "My Life."
In total, the couple grossed $109,175,175 over the period, including Hillary Clinton's Senate salary and the former president's pension.
"The Clintons have now made public 30 years of tax returns, a record matched by few people in public service," said Clinton spokesman Jay Carson in a statement.
