Washington ? Former president Bill Clinton earned more than $9 million last year by making nearly 60 speeches in more than a dozen countries, raking in fees that appear to set a record for lecture circuit profits.

According to several sources, Clinton’s fees several at $250,000 per speech and one at $350,000 are exceptional, even for entertainment stars. The information was described in congressional financial disclosure forms filed Friday by his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.

Sen. Clinton reported receiving $2.85 million from the $8 million advance for her memoirs, which are due out next year. The Clintons also reported a blind trust with assets of $1 million to $5 million and deposit accounts of $5 million to $25 million.
