Bill Clinton (76) – $120 Million
Having served as the 42nd President of the United States between 1993 and 2002, Bill Clinton retired to speaking engagements, which have significantly grown his joint $120 million fortune with his wife, Hillary. The Clintons were technically in debt upon leaving the White House, owing to Bill’s legal expenditures.
The philanthropic politician’s speaking fees over the next decade after his retirement were in the range of $100 million. In 2001, he got paid the largest book advance in history, $15 million, for what developed into the best-selling “My Life.” The couple generates around $10 to $30 million annually from speaking engagements.
