Since leaving the VP office, Biden has made a hefty sum off of book deals and speaking engagements.​

As recently as November 2009, Joe Biden's net worth was less than $30,000, according to CBS, but life post-vice presidency has been quite lucrative for President Obama's former number two. When Biden released his financial disclosures in July of 2019, they showed that he and his wife Jill had earned more than $15 million in 2017 and 2018

More specifically, the Bidens reported an adjusted gross income of roughly $11 million in 2017 and $4.6 million in 2018. The bulk of that number comes from a multi-book deal with Flatiron Books valued at $8 million per Publishers Weekly, but the Bidens also earned a sizable income from speaking engagements.

The AP reports that Biden's basic speaking fee was $100,000, but it ranged from $40,000 to $190,000. The New York Times also notes that Biden made additional unpaid speaking engagements during this time which are not listed on the disclosure, citing his campaign.

Additionally, the disclosures reveal that the former VP earned $540,000 as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement.

Books, speaking engagements and nice padded fee for being a "professor". Oh...my....gawd. Look at all that graft and thievery.

The Bidens have used their home state’s financial privacy laws to shield his income from public view, by setting up two tax- and transparency-avoidance vehicles known as S corporations. He and his wife Jill Biden called them CelticCapri Corp. and Giacoppa Corp., respectively, and, according to the Wall Street Journal, have reported more than $13 million in profits the previous two years that weren’t subject to specific disclosure or self-employment taxes.

Martha Stewart did time for "insider trading".
Our officials on Capital Hill, supposedly, do it all the time.

The elite have a different set of rules that the common folk don't.
Surprised?

Wait, are you telling me President Biden took advantage of a tax law that the former President put in place place?

The Bidens: At least $30 million and counting wired to phony shell corporations they set up and distributed to at least 9 family members from individuals, corporations, and governments in the countries Vice- President Joe Biden was given oversight of U.S. foreign policy by the Obama administration. Similar distributions occurred in the run up to the 2020 election.

If Clarence Thomas is corrupt and has broken the law then by all means prosecute him. That doesn't excuse Joe Biden and his family.

It’s one thing if he’s just feeding at the trough. It’s another thing if he’s ruling on cases that go his rich friends way.

But don't impeach and remove Biden because it's a bad look for Democrats. And who is deflecting with the Clarence Thomas stuff?

What Biden has done makes Watergate look like nothing.

We’re talking about Clarence Thomas vacationing and taking gifts from powerful people in mining, energy and big farming. Take your Biden bitching to a Biden thread.
