In the 14 years since Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House in January 2001, they have reported a total gross income of $221,139,516, a review of their tax returns for those years shows.

In 2001, the year that Hillary claimed they were "dead broke," the couple earned a whopping $16,165,110!

Wouldn't we all like to be that dead broke!

Leaving the White House opened a gravy train that has moved the Clintons to the highest percentage of all U.S. earners. Their annual income puts them in the top 1/2 of 1%. So they are at the very top of the 1-percenters that Hillary often disparages.

It was a big change from the earlier years of their marriage. The year before they left the White House, in 2000, the Clintons' gross income was only $357,629. After taxes of $53,000 that year, while they were "dead broke," they bought a second home in Washington for $3.7 million, in addition to their $2 million Chappaqua, New York, home. On an income of $357,629, their total mortgage and real estate tax payments were over $100,000, almost 1/3 of their take-home income. Maybe that's why Hillary felt like she was dead broke.

But don't feel sorry for her. Here's a breakdown of their income from 2000 to 2014:
  • 2000 = $357,629
  • 2001 = $16,165,110
  • 2002 = $9,556,550
  • 2003 = $8,033,374
  • 2004 = $20,264,179
  • 2005 = $18,056,395
  • 2006 = $16,063, 908
  • 2007 = $21,199,212
  • 2008 = $5,573,351
  • 2009 = $10,223,318
  • 2010 = $13,244,484
  • 2011 = $14,899,484
  • 2012 = $19,993,299
  • 2013 = $27,093,859
  • 2014 = $28,336,212
