**SNIP**

The 77-year-old has touted himself as "Middle-Class Joe" for decades - but he and his wife, Jill, have a net worth of $9 million, according to a Forbes estimate from July 2019.

The couple's fortune is mostly tied to public speaking engagements and book royalties, according to tax returns and financial disclosures released by the Biden campaign and published on the campaign's website.

Since 1998, the first year Biden released his tax returns, the majority of the Bidens' income was attributed to his Senate salary and her community college professor's salary, according to Forbes.

Biden's salary in 2009, his last year in the Senate, was $169,000. The vice presidency came with a 30% raise; he earned an average of $225,000 per year and served as vice president from 2009 to 2017. Forbes also reported that the pair received roughly half a million dollars in pensions and social security benefits over the course of those eight years.

But the majority of the Bidens' wealth was built after he left office.

The family also purchased a $2.7 million Delaware beach home in 2017.

Yet another climate change hoax denier buying property on the beach. They don't seem too worried about it...

If he’s only worth $9 million, I’d rate him as the most honest Democrat politician.

Yeah, but what did his family get out of it. I think Biden’s direct net worth is only the tip of the iceberg.

$9 million is not a lot by contemporary politician standards, so I bet he’s also got a lot hidden away elsewhere or dispersed through his family members.

My first question for Joe: Do you swim naked in front of your family or only in front of female Secret Service officers?

BI is another rat publication Joe probably has 10 times that much hidden.

That's the key. Hunter's Burisma scam wasn't just to make Hunter rich. Hunter gets to keep a bunch for sure, but you can guarantee Joe got his cut out of it too. It's the oldest Mafia money hiding trick in the book, the boss on paper doesn't own anything but his family members are all mysteriously wealthy. It's how Huge Chavez's daughter came to be worth $4.2 billion.

Ask yourself how Elijah Cumming's wife got rich despite never having anything other than menial jobs. How does Chelsea Clinton afford a $10 million apartment despite never having had a real job.

It's a standard tactic for crooked politicians to funnel money to family members so they can keep themselves looking clean. A good portion of that Burisma money is for Joe, Hunter is just the bag man.

“How does Chelsea Clinton afford a $10 million apartment despite never having had a real job.”

If this report is accurate, then Chelsea has made more money sitting on a single corporate board over the last few years than Joe Biden’s entire net worth. Maybe we should shame Joe? He’s just stupid enough to spill the beans so he doesn’t look like a nancy-boy.

Somebody check Joe's freezer. That's where Congressman Jefferson kept his.

This is the current "best practices" way to launder bribes.
