Although she was elected UN Ambassador by former President Donald Trump in 2016, it wasn’t until after she left The White House that Nikki Haley began raking in the big bucks. Don’t get us wrong, Haley still made some dough as ambassador, bringing in a yearly salary of $185,000, but it had nothing on what she would make after leaving The White House. No one had any idea as to what Haley had planned, but it turns out she had some big business ventures on the other side of her resignation.
One way Haley increased her fortune was by speaking at events. According to Forbes, Haley amassed $2.3 million from events she attended and spoke at in 2022 alone. In addition to public speaking, she also went on to publish two more books, one of which gave her $350,000 in advances.

Haley was unstoppable in her business ventures. In 2019, she became the director of Boeing, although she only lasted a year. Still, she earned $300,000 in that year alone with cash and stock in the company. And if things don’t work out with her presidential run, Haley still has a backup plan. She is currently on the board of the United Homes Group, where she has earned $250,000 and can increase that value as the years go on.
