Former President Bill Clinton had his most profitable speaking year ever in 2011, bringing in $13.4 million, which exceeded his previously most profitable year by 25%. The details, revealed in Hillary’s financial disclosure statement, show that Bill gave 54 speeches in 2011. The most profitable were overseas and netted him staggering amounts — $750,000 for a Hong Kong address to Ericsson and $700,000 for a speech to a newspaper publishing company in Lagos.
