Former US President Bill Clinton earned 9.5 million US dollars last year from making speeches around the world, according to the financial disclosure forms filed on Friday by his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Clinton gave 60 paid speeches around the world last year. He earned 400,000 dollars from a speech delivered last November in Japan for the Mito City Political Research Group, in the largest single moneymaking appearance.

Clinton's spokesman Jim Kennedy said the former president also gave more than 70 speeches in 2002 without compensation.

Last year, Hillary received 1.15 million dollars from publisher Simon & Schuster as partial payment for her White House memoir "Living History", the forms showed. Plus the 2.85 million dollars in advance, Hillary has received half of the 8 million dollars payment for the book which hit the bookstore this week.

The couple have between 1 million and 5 million dollars in a joint account, and they also hold 1 million to 5 million dollars in a blind trust.

The Clintons still owe 1.7 million and 6.5 million dollars in separate legal bills due to the past White House investigations.
