1. Good question. I don't know. But I do know they give an awful lot to charity
Take Hillary's first book for example "It takes a Village". ALL of the near $1,000,000 went to charity. In contrast, ALL of the proceeds from Obama's first book "The Audacity of Hope" went as a down payment on his new $1,600,000 mansion without a driveway. Thanks to the generosity of a friend and the good luck to have purchased next to a vacant lot he is now able to drive his SUVs right up to the mansion.

I think the Clinton's are dirt poor like the rest of us. No doubt they have run out of money. Their currency is hard work and diligence -- and that's a currency I can support and engage in.

2. Neither of them are dirt poor, but their currency is money like anybody else, just more of it
Or more and more and more of it.
