Hillary Clinton is healthy and "fit to serve" as US president, her doctor affirmed YESTERDAY, as the Democratic White House frontrunner also revealed details about her family's substantial personal wealth.

Hillary and Bill Clinton earned nearly $141 million over the course of eight years and paid $43 million in federal taxes, according to tax returns her campaign released yesterday.

In a lengthy statement and on her campaign website, Clinton detailed that she and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, paid more than $43 million in federal taxes from 2007 to 2014, over $13 million in state taxes and donated nearly $15 million to charity over the same period.

The couple earned a total of $140.9 million, with an adjusted gross income of $139.1 million, the returns show.

In 2013 alone Hillary Clinton earned $8.5 million from 36 speaking engagements, according to the data released Friday.

Bill Clinton earned at least $13 million from 41 speeches in the same period, including a trio of speeches in China over three straight days that earned him $1.7 million.

Physician Lisa Bardack of Mount Kisco Medical Group in New York said Clinton, 67, was enjoying a healthy lifestyle and has fully recovered from the effects of a concussion suffered in 2012 -- an incident which had prompted questions about her health.

"She is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve as president of the United States," Bardack stated in a letter distributed by the Clinton team.
