HarperCollins paid former Alaska governor Sarah Palin a $1.25 million "retainer" for the book she and a conservative writer have penned, the Anchorage Daily News reports.
The amount was included in financial disclosures made this morning in Alaska.
Going Rogue: An American Life is due in bookstores Nov. 17.
How's her deal compare to some others?
In 2001, former president Bill Clinton got an estimated $10 million to $12 million, which at the time was a record for a nonfiction work. Then, in 2006, Oprah Winfrey struck a deal that her publisher claimed was worth even more.
As we've previously reported, some of Palin's critics are coming out with a book of their own: Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare.
