Hillary Clinton Made More in Speeches to Big Banks Than Most of Us Earn in a Lifetime

As reported on The Intercept: “Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders this week assailed rival Hillary Clinton for taking large speaking fees from the financial industry since leaving the State Department. According to public disclosures, by giving just 12 speeches to Wall Street banks, private equity firms, and other financial corporations, Clinton made $2,935,000 from 2013 to 2015.” Clinton’s most lucrative year was 2013, in which she made $2.3 million for three speeches to Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street banks.
