Hillary Diane Clinton
Bill Clinton.
Clinton continued to practice law with the Rose Law Firm while she was First Lady of Arkansas.
She earned less than the other partners, as she billed fewer hours, but still made more than $200,000
in her final year there.
Clinton served on the boards of the Arkansas Children's Hospital Legal Services (1988-1992) and
the Children's Defence Fund. In addition to her positions with nonprofit organizations, she also held
positions on the corporate board of directors of TCBY, Wal-Mart Stores and Lafarge. Clinton was
the first female member on Wal-Mart's board, added following pressure on chairman Sam Walton to
name a woman to the board. Once there, she pushed successfully for Wal-Mart to adopt more
environmentally friendly practices, was largely unsuccessful in a campaign for more woman to be
added to the company's management, and was silent about the company's famously anti-labour
union practices.
