Under the guidance of an attorney representing Tyson Foods,
Hillary Clinton made a $98,540 profit from a $1,000 initial

combined annual income at the time.
Donald Tyson, who succeeded in building his father’s small
poultry business into a multimillion-dollar food-processing
empire, has been widely portrayed as a driving force behind
the political ascendancy of Bill Clinton.
