Most of the Joe and Jill Biden’s income in 2017 and 2018 came from book payments and paid speaking engagements.
Former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife made $11 million in 2017 and $4.6 million in 2018, according to disclosures released Tuesday.
Most of the couple’s income in those two years after Biden left office came from book payments and paid speaking engagements, the Biden for President campaign said in a press release. Biden’s “Promise Me, Dad” book came out in 2017, while Jill Biden’s “Where the Light Enters” was published this year. All of the former VP’s speaking engagements were public, and more than half were open to the press, the campaign said. The speaking fees ranged from about $235,000 for a VIP book tour event to $180,000 for a lecture at Vanderbilt University.
