Hillary Clinton was paid more than $21 million in speaking fees from trad groups and blue-chip companies between April 2013 and March 2015, her campaign financial disclosures show.
The New York Post put together a list showing an astonishing 92 speeches between April 2013 and March 2015, nearly four six-figure paydays per month.
Clinton has been under fire for months – largely from fellow Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders – for declining to release transcripts of the deep wisdom that justified the giant checks.

100% DISCOUNT UNTIL NOVEMBER: Hillary Clinton can't charge for speeches now that she's running for president, but she scooped up more than $21 million in the two years after she was secretary of state
RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPTS: Bernie Sanders, Clinton's lone rival for the Democratic nomination, has taunted her for refusing to say what she talked about in her pricey speeches – each of which paid more than an entire year of Sanders' income
'When you get paid $225,000, that means that that speech must have been an extraordinarily wonderful speech,' Sanders said during the pair's last debate in March.
'I would think that [with] a speech so great ... you would like to share it with the American people. So I think she should release the transcript.'
Most of Clinton's speeches brought in $225,000 checks, but a few were for more – as much as $400,000.
That's still less than the $750,000 Bill Clinton can command overseas for showing up and talking.
But it's more than the total amount of money Sanders earns in a typical year.
The two years' worth of records cover the period immediately after Clinton left her Obama administration post as secretary of state.
Bill Clinton earned tens of millions on the speaking circuit, much of it outside the United States, while she was still America's top diplomat – raising questions about whether she made decisions in office that benefited those who signed his checks.

Among Hillary's benefactors are pharmaceutical and health care companies, Wall Street banks, The Gap, eBay, Xerox, Qualcomm, and a handful of trade associations representing vegetable farmers, car dealers and the like.
She even accepted $225,000 from a Chicago synagogue.
With the advent of 'Clinton Cash,' a book-turned-movie timed to influence November voters, new attention has been focused on the Clintons and their wealth following a 2001 White House exit that Hillary ruefully described as leaving them 'dead broke.'
