Sarah's post-gov. earnings: $12 million, est'd

According to an estimate by ABC News, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has personally earned at least $12 million since she abandoned her executive post in July 2009. The ABC estimate was compiled using public records and published news reports. Because the former governor does not publicize her earnings, and information about two large sources of revenue (the multi-year deal with Fox News Channel and a second book deal with HarperCollins) are still under wraps, ABC is careful to note its estimate is likely much lower than the real total.
