The numbers are staggering. Over the past year, Palin has amassed a $12 million fortune and shows no sign of slowing down. Her memoir has so far sold more than 2.2 million copies, and Palin is planning a second book with HarperCollins. This January, she signed a three-year contributor deal with Fox News worth $1 million a year, according to people familiar with the deal. In March, Palin and Burnett sold her cable show to TLC for a reported $1 million per episode, of which Palin is said to take in about $250,000 for each of the eight installments.

While she’s waiting for her television career to begin in earnest, she’s been busy on the speaker’s circuit, having signed with the prestigious Washington Speakers Bureau. Palin commands $100,000 per speech, putting her in the same league as fellow Speakers Bureau clients Colin Powell, George W. Bush, and Rudy Giuliani. Since leaving office, she’s scheduled speeches to the Daytona Chamber of Commerce; the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce; the Bowling Proprietors’ Association of America; the Charity of Hope fund-raiser in Hamilton, Ontario; the Get Motivated Seminar in Beaumont, Texas; the Complete Woman Expo; the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America; and the Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference. In February, she delivered the keynote address at the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville.

Palin’s $100,000 contract for the tea-party event—which drew fire from rival tea-party groups angry that Palin was cashing in at their expense—included $18,000 for private-jet travel for her and an entourage of five people, according to two people who’ve seen the contract. Palin jetted to Nashville with two bodyguards, her spokesperson Meg Stapleton, and her daughter Piper. “I remember looking at the contract and was thinking, Holy cow,” one person involved in organizing the event says. “It was very specific on a lot of details.” Most events require a Learjet, or its equivalent, from Wasilla, at a cost of some $1,500 per hour of flight time.

8. From a purely selfish "I want to make me some money" perspective, I'd say quitting the governor's

job was a smart move. Politically, I think it will eventually backfire, if she runs for public office. Which makes me think she's really just interested in making money and leaves the possibility of a future political move open just to increase her speaking fee.

10. Exactly...

That's why Giuliani ran for president.
He knew this country would never elect him.
But the "former Republican presidential candidate" bit is worth a couple of zero on the speaking fees.

13. I've saying the same thing since before the presidential election. She's

only in it for the money. Period. She has no principles. Her only principle is to cash in on the dolts who hang on her every moronic utterance.

12. the rewarding of ignorance

[bdamomma]

only in America where you can quit your job (not us of course) and make millions

she doesn't deserve it at all.

15. A "Celebrity" Politician

We have "celebrities" such as a Lindsey Lohann or Paris Hilton...people whose fame is for being famous. You couldn't list a significant movie or TV show they've done, but you sure know their names. And they milk it for all they can...laughing all the way to the bank.

Mooselini is not a real politician...she has no real record except for barely two years as governor which appears to have been mostly a part time gig around all her flying around and then playing McCain's "sidekick".

Of course she's gonna make money...famous people do. And if people are willing to throw money at her, so be it. They're the fools, not she.

16. think she will pay any taxes on all that? My guess is no

I mean, she hates taxes, so why should she pay any?

17. "using only her mouth" - Do we *know* that?!1 n/t
