Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can’t seem to avoid stepping right in it these days. After telling a reporter two weeks ago that her and Bill were dead broke when they left the White House in 2001 she now says they are not truly well off. Hillary is estimated to be worth nearly $50 Million dollars and if you add in Bills receipts you can… well do the math.

It’s a good thing she has saved a ton because her book Hard Choices is tanking and already fell off the charts failing to make it to number one. There is no way Simon and Schuster will get the estimated $14 Million dollar advance they made back anytime soon or anytime ever for that matter.

In an interview with the Guardian, Clinton protested the idea that she was rich and said her and Bill were "unlike a lot of people who are truly well off."

According to The Guardian:

America's glaring income inequality is certain to be a central bone of contention in the 2016 presidential election. But with her huge personal wealth, how could Clinton possibly hope to be credible on this issue when people see her as part of the problem, not its solution? 

"'But they don't see me as part of the problem,' she protests, 'because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we've done it through dint of hard work,' Clinton says, letting off another burst of laughter.

Yeah that’s funny. I mean having $50 Million dollars and not being able to keep up with your friends. That must be almost as rough as Gwyneth Paltrow surviving nasty attacks on line as a Hollywood Star. What is wrong with these people?

Let's be honest with just $50 Million to throw around there are plenty of hard choices to make.. like do I spend $10 Million or $20 Million on a Manhattan apartment. Oh the horror of it!!!
