WASHINGTON – Former President Bill Clinton earned nearly $6 million in speaking fees last year, almost all of it
from foreign companies, according to financial documents filed by his
wife, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The
documents obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press show that $4.6
million of the former president's reported $5.7 million in 2008
honoraria came from foreign sources, including Kuwait's national bank, other firms and groups in Canada, Germany, India, Malaysia, Mexico and Portugal and a Hong Kong-based company that spent $100,000 on federal lobbying last year.
Executives at many of the firms that paid honoraria to Bill Clinton have also donated large amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation,
according to documents it released last year as part of an agreement
with Congress on Hillary Clinton's nomination as secretary of state.
That agreement was aimed at preventing the appearance of any conflict of interest between the ex-president's charitable organization and his wife's new job as the United States' top diplomat.
In addition to Bill Clinton's income from speaking fees, Hillary Clinton reported joint holdings of between $6.1 million and $30.3 million in a
blind trust as well as cash, insurance and retirement accounts worth
between $1 million and $5.2 million.
Hillary
Clinton made between $50,000 and $100,000 in royalties from her 2003
memoir "Living History." Bill Clinton earned between $100,000 and $1
million in royalties for his 2004 autobiography "My Life," the
documents show. The Clintons reported no liabilities.
All
senior officials in the Obama administration are required to complete a
detailed disclosure of their personal finances, including spouse and
children, which is updated yearly.
The two men selected to serve as Hillary Clinton's deputy secretaries of state, Jacob Lew and James Steinberg, also filed financial disclosure forms.
Lew, a former Clinton administration official who recently headed Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit, reported 2008 salary income of just over $1 million along with
numerous investments, including between $50,000 and $100,000 in State of Israel bonds.
Steinberg,
another former Clinton administration official who recently was a
professor at the University of Texas, reported receiving $35,000 in
2008 for foreign speaking engagements, including three before Japanese
media firms and one before the Confederation of Indian Industries in
New Delhi.
The most Bill Clinton got
from a foreign source was $1.25 million for appearing at five events
sponsored by the Toronto-based Power Within Inc., a company that puts
on motivational and training programs around North America, according to Hillary Clinton's submission.
For
one Power Within speech alone, delivered in Edmonton in June 2008,
Clinton was paid $525,000, the most for any single event that year. For
one event, he got $200,000 and for three others he received $175,000
each, the documents show.
The Hong Kong firm, Hybrid Kinetic Automotive Holdings, paid Clinton a $300,000
honorarium on Dec. 4, 2008. Twenty five days later, on Dec. 29, a man
listed as the company's chief financial officer, Jack Xi Deng, made a
$25,000 cash donation to the Virginia gubernatorial campaign of Clinton
confidant Terry McAuliffe, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the Hong Kong firm paid at least $100,000 in 2008 to lobbyists on immigration issues.
The other foreign honoraria Bill Clinton received in 2008 are:
• $450,000 from AWD Holding AG, a German-based international financial services company.
• $350,000 from the state-owned National Bank of Kuwait. The Kuwaiti government donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the foundation's disclosure.
• $300,000 from Value Grupo Financiero SA de CV, a Mexico-based financial holding company, whose chief executive officer,
Carlos Bremer Gutierrez, is one of the Clinton Foundation's leading
donors. Gutierrez donated between $250,001 to $500,000 to the
foundation, according to foundation's documents.

$250,000 from Germany's Media Control Gmbh, which bills itself as the
world's leading provider of entertainment data and was founded by
Karlheinz Koegel, who contributed $100,001 to $250,000 to the Clinton
foundation.
• $200,000 from Malaysia's Petra Equities Management on behalf
of the Sekhar Foundation run by Malaysian multimillionaire Vinod Sekhar
who donated between $25,001 and $50,000 to the Clinton Foundation,
according to its documents.
In addition to the foreign earnings, Bill Clinton made just
over $1 million from domestic speaking engagements, including $250,000
from MSG Entertainment, $225,000 from the National Association of Home Care and Hospice, $200,000 from the United Nations Association,
$175,000 from the ING North America Insurance Corp., $125,000 from the
Rodman and Renshaw Capital Group and $100,000 from the Hollywood Radio
and Television Society.
