The disclosures also detailed the taxes paid by the Clintons and how much they gave to charity during those years.
During Clinton's years in the Senate the disclosures, which were published by OpenSecrets.org, included full tax returns filed by her and her husband. These returns detailed the Clintons' total income, charitable gifts they made, and their total taxes paid from 2001 through 2007. For those seven years, the Clintons earned total income of $108,817,646, the vast majority of which came from Bill Clinton's speaking fees.

The Clintons also gave more than $10 million to charity from 2001 through 2007, which is about 9% of their total income from this period.
