Tax returns made available by Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and her husband, ex-President Bill Clintons show that the couple earned $110m since the year 2000
Almost half of the income was made from the former president's speeches.
Senator Clinton had been under pressure to release her returns since rival Barack Obama disclosed his for 2000-2006.
The Clintons paid around $34m in taxes between 2000 and 2007.
The last time the Clintons publicised their finances was in 2000 - the year they left the White House. In that year they reported a gross income of $416,000.
Since leaving office, though, Bill Clinton has given speeches around the world and got involved in numerous business ventures.
He has also made $30m from his two books, My Life and Giving.
For her part, Mrs Clinton made more than $10m from her book Living History.
The Clinton household clearly isnt going to be struggling with its grocery bills any time soon.
