Sarah Palin sees big salary jump-$12 million in royalties, fees and salary

Sarah Palin sees big salary jump

If you ever wondered why Sarah Palin quit her job as governor of Alaska, here's one good answer: Ka-ching!

Since leaving office, Palin has raked in at least $12 million in royalties, fees and salary, ABC News estimates. And that's a "conservative" guess.

Add it up: It's almost 100 times the $125,000 per year she was pulling down as governor, a job she quit last summer by saying she didn't want to become "a lame duck." Since then, she's landed a bestselling book, two regular TV gigs, a string of high-paying speaking engagements, and she has plans for another book.

5. Quite true, isn't it. Often the more highly qualified in this country are forced

to take a back seat to the con artists. It's now about showmanship, usury, manipulation and greed that moves one up the ladder, sadly. Palin is pretty much an absolute zero in my book.

2. Rabble rousing pays good.

Karma will bite her good someday.

4. so we just tell her that the President only makes $250,000 and she'll never run.

Or did they give him a raise a while back?

Sad that the president doesn't make a million a year in salary, but I guess he does get some perks. Don't think they balance out the risks and all the wear and tear.

7. I doubt if she will run

She knows where the money is, and I think she also knows she couldn't win. I could be wrong, but once she sees who much she can make off of the morons who think she is so great, she will continue on that road, bilking them out of every penny she can get out of them! I also think there is a lot of stuff that has not come out about her that "would" come out in a republican primary. Those with any brains in the republican party don't want her running, and they would use this to keep her from running, or ruin her if she did. If her former almost son in law Levi is telling the truth, and he does have something "big" he hasn't talked about yet, he could make a fortune selling that information, if it was true, and I really think he would do it!

Nope, I think she knows she can make millions, and millions off of the idiot wing of the right, and she if she can make this much money in less than a year, she will go full throttle to become the "queen" of the TP bunch and keep on laughing all the way to the bank!
