The Clinton Fortune: Follow the (missing) money: What on earth happened to that $50 million?
American Thinker ^ | 09/30/2015 | Thomas Lifson

“Things just don’t add up” could be the motto on the Clinton family crest, if such an aristocratic appurtenance were ever to be created for the Arkansas clan.  And that goes double when money is involved. Writing in Forbes, Dan Alexander notices that the reported numbers for the gigantic post-presidency Clinton family earnings don’t square up with their reported assets:

Since Bill and Hillary left the White House in 2001, they have earned more than $230 million. But in federal filings the Clintons claim they are worth somewhere between $11 million and $53 million. After layering years of disclosures on top of annual tax returns, Forbes estimates their combined net worth at $45 million. Where did all of the money go? No one seems to know, and the Clintons aren’t offering any answers.

From 2001 to 2014 the power couple spent $95 million on taxes. Hillary’s 2008 presidential run cost her $13 million. Their two homes cost a combined $5 million, and the Clintons have given away $22 million to charity [TL: 90% of that went to the in-house Clinton Foundation, which paid for private jets, 5 star hotel suites, etc. for their travels, and for their shadow political staff.] All of this is according to FEC filings, property records and years of tax returns. Add it up and you get $135 million. If the Clintons made $230 million, spent $135 million and have just $45M left over, what happened to the other $50 million?

That $50M could pay for a lot of trips to Orgy Island. Still:

It seems unlikely that the Clintons could have spent all of it. Over 14 years $50 million averages out to $3.6 million in extra expenses

If the mods allow a bit of fun conjecture:

-plastic surgery trust fund for baby Charlotte & future Chelsea Hubbell foaling incidents

-STD symptom management for Bill

-Hillary’s Bar Tab

The rest they just wasted...

It’s called “bribery” so Hitlery doesn’t get indicted.

Always, before the fall of a great nation the ‘suits’ find ways to raid the treasury.

It's in offshore accounts - the same kind that the Dems wrongly kept saying in 2008 that Romney had.

I am condfident in this because in my experience you can always trust liberals to be hypocrites about the things they accuse others of doing. The more vehement they are in hurling accusations and slinging mud, the more you know they are living in a glass house.

The question is just what did they do for all that money?
They produce nothing.
