Former President Bill Clinton traveled the globe last year, picking up $9.2 million in speaking fees, while his wife, US Sen. Hillary Clinton, a New York Democrat, got a $2.85 million advance for her memoirs, according to a financial disclosure report released on June 14.

The former first couple also paid more than $1.3 million in legal fees for themselves and former staff, much of it stemming from old White House investigations, according to the disclosure report.

The report showed the Clintons still owe at least $1.75 million in legal fees, and have a blind trust worth between $1 million and $5 million.

The figures were contained in a financial disclosure report filed by Sen. Clinton. All members of the US Congress must make such reports public each year.

Hillary Clinton's advance was from an $8 million book deal with Simon & Schuster. Her memoirs are due out next year.

Like many former presidents, Bill Clinton cashed in with speaking fees. According to the report, he gave on average about one speech a week for between $28,100 to $350,000.

Among his worldwide stops were: Canada, Hong Kong, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Poland, Spain, Ireland, England, France, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Italy, Scotland and a number of US cities, from New York to Los Angeles.
