Summary
On his Wednesday "Straight Shooter" podcast, Stephen A. Smith challenged how Bill Clinton and Barack Obama amassed fortunes he described as reaching into the hundreds of millions.
Smith said he does not object to politicians getting rich in a capitalist system if Americans are prospering too, but argued that is not the current economic reality.
Forbes has reported Bill and Hillary Clinton earned about $240 million after leaving office, including roughly $189 million from books and $106 million from paid speeches by Bill Clinton.
Forbes separately estimated Obama built about $20 million during 12 years as a senator and president, putting his net worth at roughly $70 million in 2024.
