How much is Hillary Clinton worth?
Hillary Clinton’s wealth may not seem like much next to that of her one-time campaign rival, billionaire Donald Trump. Still, she has built up a considerable fortune since she and her husband, President Bill Clinton, left the White House “dead broke” in 2001, as she famously put it.
Hillary Clinton’s speeches before companies and business groups often net her six-figure speaking fees. Book deals and consulting jobs also have brought in a fair amount of income, for both Clintons.
After graduating from Yale Law School, Hillary Rodham worked as a staff attorney for the Children’s Defense Fund, then joined the staff advising the U.S. House Judiciary Committee on whether to impeach President Richard Nixon. In 1975, she married Bill Clinton, and she became first lady of Arkansas when he was elected governor of his home state in 1978.
