Financial disclosures show that Bernie Sanders is at the low end of earners among candidates for president in 2016.
The Vermont independent, a candidate for the Democratic nomination, earns a $174,000 Senate salary that puts him among the top 5 percent of Americans in income.
A new financial disclosure form indicates that Sanders got less than $2,000 total for three speaking appearances since last fall, including $850 for appearing on the HBO talk show "Real Time With Bill Maher." He reported donating his speaking fees to Vermont charities.
Sanders also gets a $5,000-a-year pension from the city of Burlington for his time as mayor.
His wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders, holds retirement fund accounts worth between $194,000 and $735,000.
