Hillary Clinton has been a $12 million baby since leaving the State Department.

Since exiting the Obama administration in February 2013, she has raked in an estimated $750,000 per month with her nonstop speaking appearances, according to an analysis by Bloomberg.

She commands at least $200,000 per speaking appearance and her latest book reportedly brought in an $8 million advance.

And now Republicans are pouncing on the Clinton moneymaking machine, launching a website to track Hillary's comments on the subject — PoorHillaryClinton.com.

"It's a hard knock life," the website declares above TV clips and excerpts of Hillary's remarks about her family finances.

“In the span of just a few weeks, Hillary Clinton made enough out-of-touch comments about her wealth to fill an entire website. So the RNC created one,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement, .

“Poor Hillary. She just doesn’t get it. After so many years of a gilded lifestyle, she’s clearly developed a tin ear.”

As Hillary Clinton crosses the country to promote her book, "Hard Choices," her husband Bill is trotting around the globe in support of the Clinton Foundation.

In Vietnam on Friday, Bill Clinton told CNN his wife "needs time" to consider a potential presidential bid in 2016, adding that he is "fine" with whatever decision she makes.

"Now that the book is done, she wants time to think about that and work through it … it's a decision that only she can make, and I'm not going to try to jump the gun and if she decides not to do it, I'll be happy, too."

James Carville, the infamous political operative behind 1992 Bill Clinton's presidential run, said over the weekend he's confident that she will run.

"Usually when someone runs for president once, they do it again," he told radio host John Catsimatidis on Sunday, adding that of the field of likely Democratic candidates for the White House, "I don't think any of them can beat Hillary."

Carville is among the influential Democrats who has lent his name to the Ready for Hillary Super PAC fund-raising effort.
