This story appears in the October 19, 2015 issue
Since Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House in 2001, they have earned more than $230 million. But in federal filings the Clintons claim they are worth somewhere between $11 million and $53 million. After layering years of disclosures on top of annual tax returns, Forbes estimates their combined net worth at $45 million. Where did all of the money go? No one seems to know, and the Clintons arent offering any answers.
From 2001 to 2014 the power couple spent $95 million on taxes. Hillarys 2008 presidential run cost her $13 million. Their two homes cost a combined $5 million, and the Clintons have given away $22 million to charity. All of this is according to FEC filings, property records and years of tax returns. Add it up and you get $135 million. If the Clintons made $230 million, spent $135 million and have just $45 million left over, what happened to the other $50 million?
Thats kind of strange, says Joe Bidens accountant, Walter Deyhle. You have to report all of your assets. You have to report assets that are owned by your spouse.
It seems unlikely that the Clintons could have spent all of it. Over 14 years $50 million averages out to $3.6 million in extra expenses per year, or $9,800 per day.

There's like $50 million to a quarter billion in unaccounted for wealth over the last decade for the Clintons.

so right-wingish to blame Hillary for everything. Bernie just insinuates because that's all has to do to get his base excited.
