My question is.. How does a wrestling coach go to Washington and 30 years later have millions in bank accounts?

How did the Clintons get as wealthy as Mitt Romney? Not by delivering any useful goods or services.

Per related articles/threads, he had a net worth of $270k when he went to DC and between $4 and $17 million when he left the House.

The only thing I can think of is he got good advice from Hillary or someone on investments in cattle futures.

It does make one wonder, considering that his Congressional salary probably averaged around $150k per year.

But then we have the Clintons who were dead broke when they left the WH and have managed to accumulate around $2 Billion into their various name-sake foundation(s) and charities.
