White House releases show Biden’s book royalties fell sharply last year

The Bidens’ federal tax return showed earnings of nearly $580,000 last year; Kamala Harris and her husband reported $457,000

Joe Biden’s personal finances changed little between 2022 and the previous year, though his book royalties fell sharply, according to White House financial disclosure reports released on Monday.

Biden earned between $2,500 and $5,000 in book royalties in 2022, down from $30,000 a year earlier. He also earned less than $3,000 in “speaking and writing engagements”, from close to $30,000 last year, the disclosures show.
