Biden's riches came mostly from book deals and speaking engagements. His sudden explosion of wealth could cut against an image he has pitched to voters for years: "Middle Class Joe," a humble fighter for workers.
The former vice president's campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said this week that "fighting for working families has been thee defining cause of Joe Biden's life." He added that Biden is "running to restore the American middle class, with everybody — regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation — in on the deal this time."
roots4bernie Fails to note the dark earnings Joe made thru speechifying, incl the $200K he took in exchange for de facto endorsing Repub Fred Upton. Also fails to note that Joe is leasing a mansion fr one of his Big Donors, Mark Ein, but won't disclose the monthly rent (prob under mkt value)
Sorry CNBC , FoxNews already has trump propaganda contract.
I’ll bet that after a lifetime of public service, Biden didn’t have much to show for it financially. He’s 77 & has undoubtedly sacrificed all his life in service to America.
😂 just a poor public servant!
Is that somehow wrong?
So what? GWB and GHWB did as well.
The JokeBama’s are even richer! Amazing how they use to rail against millionaires and the 1%ers, are they now BarackObama Garbage
It's because he doesn't scam and use others money to pay his bills, glad he is not a billionaire, makes him more like us.
mackyson His kids have gotten rich too! They are no better than Trump and his kids! Time for a real working class President!
What’s your point, ?
This guy is a dog faced pony... I forget
What about hunter!?
Good for them! We all know everyone makes more money in the private sector. Now he can afford to take the pay hit by becoming a public servant again. JoeBiden 2020
👇 Obama-to-Trump voters desperately wanted CHANGE in 2016. YOU WILL LOSE AGAIN TO TRUMP if you offer them another Obama hanger-on. 2020 wins w/INDEPENDENT voters: SANDERS CA CO IA ME MA MI MN MO NV NH NC OK TN TX VT WA BIDEN Alabama Mississippi S Carolina Virginia 👇 Pls RT
Biden is a whip.
Are you trying to say a Private citizen can't Earn income legally? The author of this Tweet Clearly has a Biased... Biden ' Fattened ' his Wallet 'After' leaving offfice via legal and transparent means... I expect more than Trump and Fox news talking points from CNBC 🤨
🙄 and?
A Rick Santelli Production
That’s why he’s millionaire Joe rather than middle class Joe. He and Obama have cashed in obscenely from their positions. Nothing illegal about it but not a good look after Billary doing the same thing. Dems know how to make money from the presidency.
In 4 years JoeBiden has made less than realDonaldTrump and family have stolen from taxpayers on trips & golf
china will give him more
This is in poor taste.
Now do Trump and children
So?
Wonder how much came from Burisma
Good for him! Better then president Trump that has serial bankruptcy . Biden2020 VoteTrumpOut TrumpWorstPresidentEver
You clowns talked about Biden's income and you don't have Trump's taxes ? He said specifically in the video his public life. Use the same standards across candidates or start calling yourselves GOPNBC
So he should feel guilty about making money on a book about his son?
What the hell? Are you now shills for the Trump Campaign? What kind of hit-job is this crap? It's bad enough that half the anchors are just waiting to land on Fox News. I expect more from CNBC. How much has Trump made off of Secret Service Room tabs?
votebluenomatterwho
Get some more Money Biden
Surprised at your presentation of this. Is there a message you’re trying to convey?
Isn't that Great,Bezo Fattened his Wallet,by 200 Billions Dollars,He may an inquiry, asking non sick workers to give their Sick leaves to Sick Workers, I'm so Glad Biden is getting a Piece of America Pie,What's left goes to Charities
Works for me it’s the AMERICAN way how fat has Trump gotten with his company since taking office🤡🤡🤡
trust me i looked at the list, none of those incomes resemble anything many of us will ever see!
Who gives a shit? He's not an incompetent traitor...🤷♂️🤷♀️
His wife or sister?
What’s wrong making money in US as long as it’s legal! That’s the American way! To be a Dem you’ve got to be poor? You applaud being poor or being a failure?
The important question is: Did he pay tax on his income? The more important question is: How much did Trump pay in fed. tax, in the preceding years his presidency?
So. What’s your point? You said same for Clintons. Look how much don the con and his family are profitting while in the White House
His son has a bunch of money
So he can afford his own security..
So?
Yes because you can make $millions in this country if you can be an actor or 'talker.' Then brain washing the citizens is very easy. Enjoy America😎
Everybody who leaves politics tries to cash in, except Jimmy Carter.
Do.the.same.for.trump children. You can’t beat fox for kissing dear leader
I’m a big time conservative who voted for Trump and will do so again. But This is unfair. Clumsily lumping in Biden’s wife tells me that she “could be” responsible for a majority of that income jump. Misleading news is getting old no matter where it comes from.
Now do every other modern former president, senator and congressman.
Great for them!
Why not do “some reporting” about the income Ivanka Jared and the boys make off the government?
Old Dirty Joe is not the only one - can add the Huessin’s and their selling of the White House to the list as well. Look how much they have made selling their office. Of course they learned from - I did not have sex with that woman in the Oval Office - Wild Willy. Dems know how.
Why is CNN trying to rig our election by keeping TulsiGabbard of their Town Hall stage in NH where she’s polling at 5% higher then 3 other candidates
As opposed to CNBC's fav GOP'ers. Who made NO money at ALL. Nice of them.🤪
Biden - an epitome of corruption
Don’t trust the wealthy
Crooked as hell
The funny part is, the other financial services network, that is owned by a presidential candidate, doesn’t run stories like this. Go figure.
Shady Joe crime family
Who is running this twitter account CNBC? Been misleading and very very opinionated as of late?
What’s your political stance CNBC? Poor Steve Mnuchin comments about Greta being taken outta place, but Joe Biden cannot make a living? Why don’t you cover the story how Mnuchin and his Yale roommate Lampert bankrupted Sears?
HELP my family gain money and you will receive $30 jus for signin up NO CAPPIN
How much income did his son Hunter make while Joe was VP and what skills did Hunter have to justify that income?
WitnessesAndDocuments
They deserve every penny. He's given his life to public service. Good for them. I'm sure he paid his taxes & released his tax returns.
Book deal jeez🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
This is what CORRUPT POLITICIAN JoeBiden looks like. Scam money from everywhere you can. DISGRACEFUL. Biden2020
Yeah it’s called work something the current president knows nothing about.🤡👺👹
This is straight trash news! Who’s next?! The trumps right!?
THIS is EXACTLY what the media did with Hillary Clinton+why we are in hell right now.I know DT being President is good for ratings but when will we get a full story on how many people have fattened THEIR wallets in the past 3 yrs since DT has been President.Start with his kids.
Impeach him!!! No one other than the Trumps are allowed to make money.
To quote Dick Cheney: “So?” Making legal money when not in office is not news! Ripping off the US Treasury a la realDonaldTrump style is un-Constitutional.
Maybe that's why the Trumps hate Biden....
Add in what Hunter stole in Ukraine and China plus Joe’s brother in Middle East. A criminal enterprise.
Is this a news report or a political ad? How Biden earned his money is presented, which seems quite understandable and transparent, yet this media house puts a negative spin. How does earning legitimate money after political office make one unable to represent the middle class?
Wow
dirty $$$$$. like father like son
NYCNavid Disingenuous and negative report. They didn’t steal from taxpayer, insider trading or sell property to RUSSIAN OLIGATH FOR INFLATED PRICES.Books and speaking engagements as Private Citizens, not when he was SENATOR OR VP!
Joltin’ Joe no mo
Republicans make their life and wealth to serve. Democrats serve to make their life and wealth.
They're all crooks.
So what?
If you're wondering why this is a problem - it's because he earned this money largely from paid speaking events. When you're in a position of power, you tend to do favors for those who promise you opportunities after office. It's one of the many things broken in our democracy
So. What. He was afraid his daughter in law would lose her home after the death of her husband, joe’s son. He gave his entire adult life to public service and you make it sound like he stole money. This is disgusting.
Once again are defaming a dem candidate! Last week was Warren and now Biden
Junior made that much last week when the RNC bought his 20,000 copies of the book he didn’t write.
So what? Let’s talk about Trump filing corporate bankruptcy 6 times, pocketing the money and not paying his employees.
...anddd?
A successful individual running for President? That's a refreshing change from the bankrupt guy we've got now.
So it’s ok to make money while in office? Do leftist realize they praise millionaires?
NYCNavid Pretty sure that’s the way it goes for all elected federal officials... why else would they spend 100’s of millions to get elected? This isn’t news, guys.
Một tay đại bịp bợm
Can you say Burisma😂
I guess CNBC now is part of the trump campaign. Blatant and ridiculous.
That sure makes it easy to see why he is such a reluctant candidate.
So it’s called work he lost his Vp job so make money doing other things🤡👺👹
Is CNBC an extension of FOX now?
No surprise! Check the net worths of OBama, Pelosi, Clinton , Schiff, Schumer and Nadler before going tonDC and now. Will absolutely shock you as to the magnitude of increased wealth.
So what?
Every Pres/VP makes money from books and soeaking engagements after the White House. Every single one.
So.?
Politics can be extremely profitable.
So how does this compare with other pols who have left office -- over the same period of time?
Worth noting he Kushners made $82M last year in office.
Must be nice
USD15m only? Combined income? Wow ... that’s pretty low. I would have expected the Bidens to make more. I believe Trump has made much more than that even before he leaves office. 😂
bidenukraine
We hope his policies will remain Center Democrat as they have been his whole life.
Show me an ex Pres or VP that didn’t make $ after they left DC.
Being a corrupt corporate shill pays off. $$$$$$$$
Amazing another politician who made millions for himself he's not out to help the people of America
So what!!!
At least he's willing to show his tax returns. :-)
That along with Obama and the Clintons becoming Uber Wealthy without ever running a business is all you need to know about the Democrats.
Now do Rick Scott.
As opposed to Mitch McConnell who fattened his wallet while in office
3 of trumps golf trips.
🙄
Couldn't imagine why
Capitalism at its finest.
This is sponsored by fox and friends 2 squawkjoe and his show SquawkCNBC - THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS AND MORONIC.
Yes after he left office a book deal and dome speeches, unlike trump who I making money off of the government from having everyone stay at his properties
What your point? Years of Trump being a tax cheat and illegal deal maker has gained him illegal millions, in and out of office! Biden made his money legally! Why do you think it’s an issue?
This is America right?
So what... He’s a private citizen.
Fame and power always equal to money. Millions is minimum level. Trump will be billions later.
So and how much has trump fatten his?🤡👹🔥
That's the kind of shit that got trump elected.
Let's see PaPa Joes tax returns !
Typical career politician . Bought and paid for . No Biden
The enrichment of politics. What a shame.
Good for them. I’m jealous
Doing what? 🤷♂️
Show me trump
Middle class joe. Lying politicians!!!
So he made some money...is that news worthy? Or is it your intent to smear his reputation, sow seeds of doubt and create division? Saddened by this
The man road the train everyday ffs. That alone tells me he manages his money just fine. I am glad to see he earned it through book deals and speaking engagements. The man was a VP after all. I think a few would pay the see what he has to say. Now do the grifter in the WH.
I would ask people running for President to sign a pledge to not write a book or do paid speaking tours when they're running for and serving as President. I get the feeling the field would become a very small group of moderates.
Swap bottom feeder.
We have a criminal in the white house RIGHT NOW, and this is where you are going? The criminal in the white house was engaged in criminal activity to try to smear Joe Biden and you decide to follow the smear? Are you being paid by trump? Threatened by trump? Something else?
So what? At least he waited until out of office and he has every right to write a book or speak somewhere. Non story.
Looks like CNBC is ceding the political middle ground to Bloomberg -- again.
'Biden’s riches came mostly from book deals and speaking engagements.' Why is this not the headline? Shame on CNBC for burying this in the second to the last paragraph.
As a private citizen, he's entitled to earn whatever money he can. I'm not Biden's biggest fan. He's a dinosaur. BUT, I'll gladly vote for him as the Dem nominee to get the grifter in chief who is using his OFFICE to make himself, his spawn, and his cronies rich.
And those are the best hair plugs he can afford?
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
While you are checking wallets? How about checking the occupant of the WH? Also how about those who don't want any meaningful legislation on guns? What would that look like?
At least he waited until he left the White House to fatten his wallet, unlike someone currently in the White House.
Good for him and his... NEXT!
JoeBiden sucks!
Are you working for Trump?
Politics can be extremely profitable.
All the politicians are millionaires.
So what
Joe doesn’t have a chance Investigation should be started of him and his sons illegal activity
There's flow in that thar pyramid.
He’s a private citizen making a living. You’d think CNBC would support that.
So.... ?
Obama bought an oceanfront vacation house for $15 mill. Ironic since the seas are rising so rapidly.
This matters why?
SleepyJoe is going for the Obama bucks this time.
MoscowMitch MoscowMitchTraitor Ruble
So what! There are a lot of people on the speaker circuit who get paid lots more than Biden and they don’t have the history to tell. He wrote a book; good for him. He had a very compelling story to tell about his son.
yea people in their 70s tend to have a bit of money saved up
So what!
That statement may still be true.
Congrats and perhaps he will disembark funds through various initiatives . He s not going to take it his grave .
At least , Hillary's mind was working fine.
Good for them.
I bet he wouldnt give up his salary like Trump did if he were elected
huge. if. true. thanks cnbc
That’s less than Bryce Harper makes per season.
That’s so nice for them.
You're pimping a nothing burger story here, a small minded piece for a small minded audience. Pejorative language like 'fattened his wallet' (clickbait crap) is a good indicator that the offering is gossip rag garbage -- what passes for journalism too often on cable news.
That is what usually happens. What about the Obamas?
While you’re at it, how did Nancy Pelosi get SO rich?
Now do this to McConnell,Graham and every other paid for Russian asset
So the fux what? AFTER That a key word AFTER his VP How about you take that same energy & research what DotardDonald & his family are scamming off America & the world WHILE IN OFFICE WTF CNBC?
This is what passes for news these days?
So. Trump is going to his hotel in Mar-largo; The Federal Government has paid more than 13 million dollars to Trump Hotel. Trump is getting richer of the Taxpayers. We the people want know more about that. Biden appear to have not made his money off Taxpayers.
They all write books and have speaking engagements. Imagine the money to be made on Trump tell-all books!
it’s ok if republicans do it?...
That sounds like a good thing, no?
Why
So what. Dump stole that much. And owes more.
Really? Are you Republicans running something like this?
Almost Moscow Mitch level money bags
Good for him, he didn’t earn it illegally, he didn’t get it from his daddy.
Good. So who cares!
Can you please focus on the corrupt guy in the White House! He’s robbing America blind while he golfs.
Have you noticed that making money is only a problem if a democrat does.
Just like most former presidents and veeps...why is this news?
Anything after office is fine it’s during (Trump, Cheney, Moscow Mitch) when it’s a problem.
The difference between executive office Democrats and executive office Republicans. Joe waited until he left office to start making money. Trump is using the office to feed his account right now.
Do he's entitled to make money he isn't in office
Good old 'middle class' Joe Ey
So! Trump and his corrupt cronies make that in a week, at Taxpayers expense!
What’s ur point
He must be CONtracting.
So what? After nearly 50 years of serving America, he deserves a chance to cash-in his chips.
Oh look at Warren! Too rich isn’t she! 🙄
Good for them. Now I gotta figure out how to write a book that people will pay me for.
Ok.
Uh oh someone paid off CNBC Currenceej
15 million sounds like a lot, but when you start to break it down, it's really not that much. Is that a part of their company? What are their expenses? What are their taxes? Self-employment taxes as well?
They are older and should have a lot. That is the American dream. To see people from the bottom to make a lot of wealth. You guys didn’t lose your shit when AOC was advocating for congressional raises. They make already 174,00 a year with great benefits. Insane. /2
Meanwhile, Trump has dropped over 100 spots on Forbes richest list since he launched his campaign. So much for that “enriching himself” narrative
And the dems are backing this guy.
Wow. So you’re going to shit on him for making money the old fashioned way by earning it himself m? Damn. At least he didn’t get his shit from daddy like Trump. Neither Bernie either. I’d worry if they DIDN’T make so much after so many years of public service. /1
Imagine what Do nothing Obama is making!!
Good for him.
Even Alzheimers guys can make millions
🧐How he get rich on a gub'ment salary?
Every single politician gets rich Democrat or Republican, how,donations from corporations making deals from foreign countries and many are greedy then other ones they welling to sold their own country
Deep state sleaze
Biden's been living off the wife's inheritance for years.
That's not that much actually. Maybe he should invest in some Tesla stock.
Another stinkin’ “Limousine Liberal”.
So Jeff Bezos made in three and a half hours what Biden and his wife make in two years.
Günaydın mk
CORPORATE JOE CASHED IN JUST LIKE OBAMA.!!
Peculiar?!
