Sarah Palin, the ex-governor of Alaska, was paid $1.25 million to pen her memoir, official documents show. Palin revealed the amount in a statement of her finances as Alaska governor before she tendered her resignation on July 27.
The sum was mentioned as a "retainer" received from publishers HarperCollins for her upcoming tome "Going Rogue: An American Life", reports The Telegraph. However, the document does not say anything about the three months that she has been out of office and shows only a partial picture of the contract.
Palin is likely to make much more money as the book has already topped the popularity charts at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com, much before its November 17 release. It was earlier believed that Palin had been paid $11 million for the book.
