Tweet

As evidenced from his recent appearance at the Democratic National Convention and from his eight years in the White House, former President Bill Clinton is pretty good at giving speeches.

Even those who dislike Bill Clinton will usually admit that he is very charismatic and engaging.

Anyways, Bill Clinton does very well for himself on the speech circuit. In addition to the $191,300 taxable pension that Clinton receives for being a former US President, as well as the royalties that he continues to receive for his books, "Bubba" also brings home millions of dollars per year by giving talks around the world.

How much money did he make in 2011? Let's look to his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her annual financial disclosure statement for the answer.

According to Hillary Clinton's filing that covers the 2011 calendar year, former President Bill Clinton gave 54 speeches last year.

Bill Clinton made a total of $13,434,000 for his 54 speeches, which works out to an average of $248,777.78 per speech.
