2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumFor Clintons, speech income shows how their wealth is intertwined with charity
Bill Clinton was paid at least $26 million in speaking fees by companies and organizations that are also major donors to the foundation he created after leaving the White House, according to a Washington Post analysis of public records and foundation data.
The amount, about one-quarter of Clintons overall speaking income between 2001 and 2013, demonstrates how closely intertwined Bill and Hillary Clintons charitable work has become with their growing personal wealth.
The Clintons relationships with major funders present an unusual political challenge for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now that she has formally entered the presidential race, the family may face political pressure and some legal requirements to provide further details of their personal finances and those of the foundation, giving voters a clearer view of the global network of patrons that have supported the Clintons and their work over the past 15 years.
