Vice President Kamala Harris earned $450,000 in book royalties

Vice President Harris earned nearly half a million dollars in book licenses in her first year in office, ethics disclosure forms show.

Harris reported $325,000 in royalties from her 2019 book The Truths We Hold and another $130,000 for her children’s book Superheroes Are Everywhere, Bloomberg reported Friday.

The money far surpassed that of President Biden, who reported between $15,001 and $50,000 in royalties for Promise Me, Dad — a heartfelt 2018 memoir about his late son Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015.

However, neither Harris nor Biden is short on cash. The president reported $700,000 to $1.5 million in cash and between $195,000 to $650,000 in mutual funds.

Harris had between $750,000 and $1.5 million in the bank, with between $250,000 and $500,000 in a joint account with her husband, Doug Emhoff. Harris also held pension funds ranging from $775,000 to $1.85 million.
