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 she’s so rich, why isn’t she smart?”
The MSM have done everything they can think of to find fault with Sarah Palin except stick a microscope up her *ss, and the only reason they haven’t done that is there isn’t a reporter that can get her to stand still long enough.
She represents everything that’s good, normal, decent, and noble in the traditional American character, and so, naturally, the Leftists hate and despise her, and will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they can think of to discredit her.
What the heck does that mean?
Book advances are paid in stages corresponding to signing the deal, delivery of manuscript, acceptance, publication, etc.
The media only has access to the signing stage, which she had to release as Governor. They don't have the details about the others (as private citizen), and it's burning them up.
Amen. This points out she is controversial. Only to the left wing.
Hmmm now if someone told you you could make 12 BIG in the next 9 months and be of high influence on a daily basis nationally... wouldnt you do it?
“Former Alaska governor has earned roughly $12 million since stepping down from her job as Alaska governor”
Somebody’s ripping her off.
Thanks for the info.
Maybe they could talk about the billions stolen from the American people by our politicians and Soros et al. Soon if not already trillions.
I believe each of the four principals on Seinfeld got $1 Million per episode, eventually.
And why is this news? Because she made more than Comrade Couric?
My guess is the media is trying the “rich” angle now, attempting to paint Sarah as a memeber of the elite.
Do NOT read the comments on the website. Liberals are sick.
It sounds like good news to me. Only a bed wetting pinko thinks making cash is bad news
It's written right there on her hand. You betcha'.
So what CBS. Maybe CBS can ask her for a loan so they can stay on the air! Oh wait, doesn’t BHO own CBS already?!?!?
You said, “...Considering what she has to put up with, she is underpaid.”
She does not ‘have to put up with’ anything; she’s choosing to put up with whatever, as long as she pits herself as the center of attention.
It urks me when someone chooses to be an attention whore and then pisses and moans, bitches and groans about the ramifications thereof.
It was good she left that job in Alaska to fight the libs and zero!
If she had not QUIT she would be dumb,
You go Girl!
good for her...
I don’t understand all this concern about Sarah Palin’s income. What’s wrong with her being paid to speak? Everybody who has been in the news is paid to speak.
She had a higher calling.
