Bill Clinton Wiki Biography

Bill Clinton, also known as William Jefferson Clinton, is an American politician and one of the wealthiest presidents of US who has estimated net worth of $190 million. He was the 42nd President of the United States who served two terms from 1993 to 2001. Until 2012, Bill Clinton added $17 million to this net worth for his 73 speeches. For a speech in Lagos Nigeria alone he received $73,000. During his career Clinton was given many different nicknames, such as Slick Willie, Bubba, The Wizard of “Is”, The Comeback Kid, The Man From Hope and the Compromiser in Chief Secretariat.

W. J. Clinton was born in 1946, in Hope, Arkansas. He didn’t  know his father who died before the birth of his son, so as a kid Bill was raised only by his mother, Virginia. She had to live in New Orleans, Louisiana for some time, where she attended the school of nursing in order to raise her son and provide for his great education in the future. At that time Bill was raised by his grandparents. After his mother came back to Arkansas, she married Roger Clinton. Bill was in a great relationship with his stepfather and even changed his surname in honor of Roger.

After graduation from Yale Law School and Oxford university Bill Clinton started to increase his net worth as Arkansas Attorney General from 1976. Although it didn’t build up Clinton’s net worth dramatically, this was still a great achievement and a perfect opportunity to secure his future career – Clinton became the youngest Governor in the United States. Clinton showed himself as a great Governor who focused on education reforms and healthcare, and started to be widely recognized because of theses efforts. Clinton was urged to run for the presidency from 1988, but he started to feel ready for that only in 1992. In that year Clinton won and became the president of the United States. So Clinton’s net worth started to increase even more.

Bill Clinton’s net worth allowed him to buy two estates. The first one, Chappaqua Estate, is located in the northern Wetchester County of New York and spreads over 17 acres. This is an awesome three level 5,300 square feet building with 5 bedrooms, living room, dinning area and 4 bathrooms. The second property owned by Clinton is East Hampton Mansion in Suffolk County, New York, which is valued at $20 million. This villa with over 12,000 square feet is equipped with 8 bedrooms, dinning room, 2 powder rooms, a large living salon, kitchen and library.

Bill Clinton is also the owner and creator of the William J. Clinton foundation. Clinton’s net worth allowed him to support research into and treatment for HIV/AIDS, the religious and ethnic conflict prevention, global public health and poverty alleviation. The supporter of Clinton’s foundation is an American actress Anne Hathaway – she also promotes health and education programs and helps the strengthening of individuals all around the world.

Bill Clinton Quotes

• Indeed, I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. It constituted a critical lapse in judgment and a personal failure on my part for which I am solely and completely responsible.
• [Pursuing Bin Laden during his term as President] After the bombing of the USS Cole, I had battle plans drawn to go into Afghanistan, to overthrow the Taliban and launch a full scale attack to search for Bin Laden – but first we needed basing rights in Pakistan. The CIA and the FBI refused to certify that he was responsible, while I was in office so I would have to send a few hundred Special Forces troops in Black Hawk helicopters. I failed to catch him but at least I tried.
• People don’t like negative, divisive environments. But they frequently reward them in elections.
• I’ve had an improbable life, and a wonderful one full of faith, hope and love, as well as more than my share of grace and good fortune. As improbable as my life has been, it would have been impossible anywhere but America. Unlike so many people, I have been privileged to spend every day working for things I’ve believed in since I was a little boy hanging around my grandfather’s store. I grew up with a fascinating mother who adored me, have learned at the feet of great teachers, have made a legion of loyal friends, have built a loving life with the finest woman I’ve ever known, and have a child who continues to be the light of my life.
• [on life as an ex-President] When your ambition is slaked, it becomes more important to see something good happen than just to keep winning arguments. At some point, you’re just glad when the sun comes up in the morning: you get up and you wait for something good to happen.
• [on ‘Richard M. Nixon (I)’] For the past year, even in the final weeks of his life, he gave me his wise counsel, especially with regard to Russia. One thing in particular left a profound impression on me. Though this man was in his ninth decade, he had an incredibly sharp and vigorous and rigorous mind. As a public man, he always seemed to believe the greatest sin was remaining passive in the face of challenges. And he never stopped living by that creed.
• [discussing the balanced budget amendment] Obviously I don’t support it, but I support the impulses that are giving rise to it.
• You know, [George Bush] is always comparing me to [Elvis Presley] in sort of unflattering ways. I don’t think Bush would have liked Elvis very much, and that’s just another thing that’s wrong with him.
• That’s the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now. They ridiculed me for trying [to kill Osama bin Laden]. They had eight months [before Tuesday, September 11th, 2001] to try; they did not try.
• In some ways she [Hillary Clinton] would be better because of what we did together. First, she has the Senate experience I didn’t have. Second, she would have had the eight years in the White House. I think she wouldn’t make as many mistakes because, you know, we’re older and more mature, and she is far more experienced now in all the relevant ways than I was when I took office. So I think in a way she has the best of both worlds.
• [to British TV interviewer David Dimbleby after Dimbleby persisted in questioning him about the Monica Lewinsky incident] Look how much time you spent asking me these questions. And that’s why people like you always help the far right because you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings. Look – you made a decision to allocate your time in a certain way. You should take responsibility for that. You should say “Yes, I care much more about this [the Lewinsky affair] than whether the Bosnian people were saved, than whether 27 million people had jobs at the end, and whether we moved a hundred times as many people out of poverty as [Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush].” This is what I care about.”
• What’s the sacrifice that’s being asked of people who make more than $1 million per year? It’s the energy they have to expend opening the envelopes containing their tax cuts.”
• [Wednesday, October 2nd, 2002 at the UK Labour Party Conference] It’s good to be in a place where our crowd are still in office.
