 In the 10 years since leaving the White House, former President Bill Clinton has earned more than $75 million in speaking fees alone, including nearly $11 million last year, a report Tuesday found. The former president’s 2010 speaking haul was his largest annual intake from such fees, edging out the $10.2 million he earned in 2006 for 57 paid speeches, CNN found. Clinton earned $10.7 million for 52 speaking engagements in 2010, bringing his total earnings on paid speeches to $75.6 million in the last decade, according to an analysis of financial disclosure reports filed by his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in her current job and during her years representing New York in the Senate. Almost half of the former president's speech earnings last year, $4.8 million, came from 18 speeches delivered in 13 other countries, ranging in distance from Canada and Mexico to India, the Philippines, and South Africa. In the decade since leaving office, Clinton has in all delivered 417 paid speeches, with fees working out to an average of $181,000 per speech. International engagements pay better than domestic ones, with $44.9 million of his earnings coming from 215 overseas speeches. "I never had any money until I got out of the White House, you know, but I've done reasonably well since then," said Clinton last year at a forum in Cape Town, South Africa. She earned more than $10 million for her memoir, “Living History.” 
 
 In contrast, Clinton’s successor, former President George W. Bush has earned at least $15 million on about 140 paid speaking engagements since leaving the White House in early 2009, an analysis this spring found.
– It turns out being an ex-president pays pretty well. In the 10 years since leaving office, Bill Clinton has made $75.6 million from speaking engagements, with last year standing as his most lucrative yet, according to disclosure forms Hillary must file as secretary of state. Bill earned $10.7 million over 52 appearances last year, which, CNN observes, is a substantial increase over the 36 gigs he took on in 2009. Almost two-thirds of Clinton’s haul over that 10-year span comes from speeches delivered overseas; he’s delivered 215 addresses across 48 foreign countries. He charges an average of $181,000 per speech, though some come in much higher than that. In 2010, for example, he received a combined $1 million from a gig in Moscow for Renaissance Capital and another in the United Arab Emirates for Novo Nordisk. And that's not even counting the $30 million he's received in book sales, notes Politico.
