The earnings represent 20 percent of the approximately $75 million Bill Clinton earned during the same period, according to the documents. That may raise new questions about what services he performed for Los Angeles-based Yucaipa, whose investors include the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid al- Maktoum.
Tax lawyers said the Yucaipa partnership income for Bill Clinton looks to be a form of salary because it was in round numbers for most years.
``Most people who make that much money work for it,'' said Yale University tax law professor Michael Graetz, a former Treasury Department official in President George H.W. Bush's administration. ``What are they being paid for, and if it's the Sheikh of Dubai paying the husband of somebody who might be the next president of the United States, what do they think they're paying for?''

Its not a salary. He’s one of the owners. Its his own money.
Just guessing.
America’s crown jewels of nuclear, missle, and military secrets sold to China.
The rest is all just off shore financial obfuscation.
“Jay Carson, a spokesman for New York Senator Clinton, said in an e-mailed statement that former President Clinton is a partner in a Yucaipa fund and ``provides his best advice on potential investments, advocates generally on behalf of the funds, and seeks to create opportunities for investors to consider investing in the fund.’’”
This from a man that had no experience in “investing” before. That didn't even own a house prior to becoming President. In past times this sort of extreme corruption would have the masses screaming about the stench... Not anymore...
But..but Clinton has charisma...he's for a woman's right to choose....the "international community" liked us....he presided over the good old days of the 90's when everyone was making money and there was no war...gaack!
People are so shallow these days. I don't know how much of this was caused by the Clintons and how much of it they just mirror....but they have revealed a crumbling society.
If this election results in H. Clinton losing, no thanks to Rush and op-chaos, Bill and Hillary will suddenly find themselves without promise or portfolio.
Here in Europe, I never describe the Clintons as anything but a low life criminal conspiracy.
So what are the chances they spent it all and will be destitute if the cash cow stops.
Bill Clinton is a liar and crook. Hillary Clinton is a liar and crook. Osama Obama is a liar and a crook. Marxist Dimocrats are liars, thieves, murderers, whores, cheats, scum, anti-American, anti-Military, anti-God, anti-religion; pro scum, pro abortion, pro anything that assists in destroying America. Funny how so many millions and millions of Americans are going along with it just for money.
bj ~ just continuing to sell the US out to the hjighest bidder....but the lib/dems love him!!!!
Yeah. But not those greedy CEOs according to what I hear from the Clintons and their supporters.
ML/NJ
Movie stars do though... Just ask them...
It’s just WJC’s “deferred comp” package kicking in. Nothing to see here folks, move along now!
