CNN: Clintons have earned more than $30 million since 2014, report shows

Washington (CNN) Hillary and Bill Clinton have made more than $30 million since January 2014, according to a financial disclosure form provided to CNN and confirmed by a Clinton campaign aide.

Much of that money came from paid speeches that were politically taxing for Hillary Clinton as she toured the country before running for President. The Clintons have given a total of 104 paid speeches since January 2014, netting the couple $25.3 million, according to the form.

Royalties and an advanced payment for Hillary Clinton's memoir "Hard Choices" also brought in more than $5 million, according to the form.

Clinton filed the public financial disclosure report with the Federal Election Commission on Friday, as was required for any candidate who declared their presidential bid before April 15 and did not seek an extension.

Paid speeches by both Bill and Hillary Clinton are detailed in the report. Hillary Clinton spent much of 2014 touring the country on the paid speaking circuit. Almost all of her speeches are domestic, except for a few in Canada and Mexico.
