Biden, who often remarks from the 2020 presidential campaign trail that he was once the poorest member of the U.S. Senate, has reportedly taken in millions of dollars since leaving the vice presidency, largely from book deals and speaking fees.

The Post reported that public documents revealed Biden's speaking fees sometimes cost as much as $200,000.

Net worth of $500,000 or something.

The Clintons arranged a $60 million "book deal" for the plagiarist to stay out of the 2016 election in order to clear a path for Hillary. Does anybody remember? Between China, Ukraine, and the Clintons, he's *filthy* rich. It's amazing how the urban media created a false image for this corrupt half-brained idiot. They've painted themselves into a corner.

“...earned up to $200,000...” is misleading. it should read “was given”.

He was GIVEN that much to run his mouth. Nobody earns that much for a speech.

Nothing wrong with an entrepreneurial spirit, being paid for fulfilling a request. The problem is that it is so easily used to mask payoffs of the less-than-legal variety.
