Sarah Palin's Earnings Over 9 Months Estimated at $12 Million
CBS ^ | 4/13/10 | Brian Montopoli

Posted on 04/13/2010 6:47:06 PM PDT by pissant

Former Alaska governor has earned roughly $12 million since stepping down from her job as Alaska governor at the end of July, according to a "conservative estimate" on the part of ABC News.

Palin had been making $125,000 per year as Alaska's governor.

The controversial 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee was reportedly paid $7 million for her book "Going Rogue," mostly after she stepped down. She is said to be getting $250,000 per episode for her television series on the Learning Channel and charge up to $100,000 deliver a speech, which she does regularly.

ABC News writes that Palin's earnings are "probably much higher" than $12 million since she left the governorship, "but is hard to quantify because Palin does not publicize her earnings." She has not disclosed what she is being paid by Fox News to serve as a contributor or her earnings from her planned second book.

If it’s accurate, I’m happy for her and her family. If it’s not, I’m still happy for them, because being nice people is its own reward.

I don’t. She’s got one book out, another in the works. TV, appearances, a Fox salary, speeches, etc

I never saw CBS worried about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s earnings when he left office. I loathe these scumbags.

And Al Gore's net wealth is now approaching 100 million. It was 6 or 7 when he left office.

Did CBS run that story? &@#& no.

Excellent news. Glad to see conservative capitalism at work. The bottom line for liberals is get off the couch and go to work.

I want Sarah to be at least twice as wealthy as the skanky Clintons.

+1000

And, as is so typical of SeeBS there's somehow something evil about honest success. GOD, I hate those people.
