Bill Clinton is rolling in dough. He deserves a "Guy Lifetime Achievement Award" for being able to charm the pants off of anyone from portly interns to investment bankers. Of course, the only one he hasn't been able to get through to is Hillary. From the looks of her site, you would never know that she was once married to the leader of the free world.
