(135,425 posts)She's a millionaire. They don't pay Harvard Professors in the dark, you know. She made a tidy sum in that gig, and her net worth is around 14 million, give or take.

Now, I don't consider ANY of the information at that link to be an "indictment." Frankly, someone of her intellectual acumen, doing the work she has done, publishing the material she has published, and taking on the tasks she has taken on, if they HAVEN'T made any money down the years, they're stupid or poor money managers--and she's neither.
And she went to a community college not because she was "humble"--she was POOR. If she could have afforded a top-of-the-line Ivy League school, she would have been off like a shot. She had a sketchy first marriage that didn't go well (to that Warren guy). Her second marriage (she's Mrs. Mann when off duty) is much more successful.
Money, of course, helps. It usually does. She has plenty of it, and she owns nice homes and lives a nice life as a consequence of it. And good for her--she's earned it.
