Joe Biden: I Left The White House As ‘One Of The Poorest Men In Government’

It was during his time in the White House that Biden had stopped publicizing his tax returns.

But after years of silence, the 2020 presidential hopeful released his federal tax returns earlier this year. Biden publicized his federal returns from 2016, 2017 and 2018 on July 9, revealing he and his wife Jill have taken in more than $15 million since leaving the Obama White House.

According to those returns and a financial disclosure document, Biden’s income has surged thanks to a lucrative book deal and constant publicity tours that brought in more than $4.5 million before taxes.

Biden's disclosure showed he also made at least $2.7 million in business income as part of his publicity tour and writing. Je also took a $425,000 salary from CelticCapri Corp., the business the Bidens used for their post-White House work. Biden and Jill Biden also signed a multi-book deal with Flatiron Books valued at $8 million, according to Publishers Weekly. Biden's first book, an account of his son Beau's death from cancer, briefly topped bestseller lists in 2017. He and his wife have also worked on two other book projects.

Biden earned $540,000 as a professor and namesake of the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Jill Biden made at least $700,000 in her own speaking engagements, the disclosure shows.

The former vice president's basic speaking fee was reportedly $100,000 a speech, but his disclosure showed that some appearances were priced as low as $40,000, and others were as high as $190,000 for a lecture at Drew University in New Jersey.

Biden's three newly available tax returns show his family income jumped from $400,000 in 2016 to $11 million in 2017 as a result of his book deal. His total income in 2018 was about $4.6 million.

In total, Celebrity Net Worth estimates Biden alone is worth $9 million — though it's possible he's worth even more, especially after launching his 2020 campaign.

Compared to Obozo and the Clintons, he's a pauper.

Average hard working Americans earn $15M over 3 years, I can see his point.
