William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton served as the United States 42nd President from his inauguration in 1992 until he was replaced by George W. Bush in 2000. Although not a millionaire when he took the office of POTUS, he has moved up the ranks in the money department with a growing net worth of $111,937,000. He commands generous speaking honorariums northward of $100,000. His wife, Hillary Clinton, provided the grist of their previous income, but it’s Bill now who is raking in millions.
In 1978 at 32-years-old, Clinton was elected Governor of Arkansas, then the youngest governor in the country. Being governor in one of the poorest states in the union only paid him $35,000 dollars a year, but his future earning power would more than make up for these humble financial beginnings.
He graduated from Georgetown University in Washington D.C. with a Bachelors of Science in Foreign Service, and on graduation won a Rhodes Scholarship to attend University College, Oxford in England. After his fellowship studies ended, he attended Yale's law school, earning a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree and met his future wife Hillary.
Although his wife Hillary was the early bread winner, Bill’s charismatic appeal now brings in millions as the Speaker-in-Chief around the world. He earned $41 million speaking to groups and corporations in the six years after retiring from the presidency, with his standard fee being between $100,000 to $150,000 per engagement. Beside those fees, he collected a pretty penny authoring a book post his service as Commander-in-Chief.
