Joe Biden was a Multi-Millionaire before he became President of the United States.

2017 – 2019: Leaves White House, Earns $11.1 Million in 2017 Alone
Biden’s best-ever financial year came in 2017. The former VP and his wife earned $11.1 million — nearly twice as much as they’d earned over the past 18 years combined.

The bulk of the money — around $10 million — came from speaking engagements and book payments for Joe’s memoir. Biden also got a position as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania in 2017, earning $372,000 in salary that year.

In 2018, the Bidens did well again. Joe earned $405,000 from the University of Pennsylvania and more money for speaking gigs. Jill was also working and writing her own memoir during this time.

The Bidens were also still getting payments from their pensions and Social Security. They took home a collective $4.6 million in 2018.

April 2019: Announces Campaign for Presidency, Earns Around $1 Million
Biden returned to the political scene in 2019, announcing his campaign for the presidency. He took a leave of absence from UPenn but still earned a salary of $135,000. Biden and his wife made around $900,000 more collectively to reach $1 million in income for 2019.

At this point, the Bidens have a net worth of roughly $9 million. They had earned $16.7 million in the three years since Joe had left the Oval Office. The couple invested $2.7 million of that into a second Delaware home by the water. They also donated around $1 million to various charities.

January 2021: Becomes 46th President of the United States, Reaches $10 Million Net Worth. In 2021, Joe Biden’s political career culminated as he was elected president of the United States. He earned $580,000 for the job in 2022 and about $620,000 in 2023.

Now, analysts estimate the Bidens have a net worth of roughly $10 million.

He and his Crime Family never did anything productive but got rich anyway.

Without even getting into the weeds about if anyone thinks he was taking any dirty money…. any person working on a salary given to a federal Congressman, VP, or President, after 50 YEARS, even just from normal saving and investing SHOULD be a millionaire.

His sin was the bagman for an influence peddling business. They had shell corporations set up to launder the money and Hunter set up a dummy corporation to collect thr money. He was paid millions and never had to explain what did he do that that money

I thought he was already a millionaire before he was president..

[Pudsmucker]

I'd say he did a lot of underhanded under the table back room conniving.

[princeofromance]

He is an evil man who manipulated the system for his benefit.

[seeyounexttuesday]

He pardoned his criminal family for a reason.
