Politico - Bill Clinton firmly asserted that the foundation he started after his
presidency has not done anything “knowingly inappropriate” in accepting
foreign cash while his wife was secretary of state.....
His
justification for his own $500,000-a-pop speaking fees — “I gotta pay
our bills” — and his insistence that his family is held to unfair
standards, in an interview aired Monday on NBC, raised eyebrows inside
of Clinton world and out.
....The Clintons have periodically talked about having money troubles or
downplaying their wealth, despite Bill Clinton being paid nearly $105
million for 542 speeches between January 2001 and 2013, according to the
Washington Post.
... A New York Times report also showed that the Clintons reported
$371,000 in capital gains between 2000 and 2006, despite Bill’s
insistence in the interview that he had “taken almost no capital gains”
in the last fifteen years.

They need the cash flow because a Bimbo Eruption Monitoring Center doesn't come cheap.
At their level of obscene wealth, $371K probably does qualify as "almost no" gains.
