You know, $8M for 200 speeches isn't that much. People like Seth Godin and Malcolm Gladwell make ~$100k per speech, and they're not even former POTUSes.

The amount is not the point.

The point is, companies/lobby groups who directly benefitted from Hillary's decisions as a secretary of the state, paid Bill a lot of money to give speeches.

The amount is kind of a point. There are estimates of Putin being worth $200bn http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2015/02/15/putins-net-wort...

Now that's what I call enriching the politicians. The Clinton's money is more like a regular CEO salary.
