Monica Lewinsky – $1.5 Million

Even during her years in school, Monica Lewinsky already knew how to keep herself busy. While taking her college studies, she worked at a tie shop and also spent time helping one high school’s art department. After a while, thanks to some family connections, she landed an internship job at the White House.

After more than a few years working at the White House, Lewinsky spent some time away from the spotlight. For a while, she made quite an investment out of her hobby of knitting. She had sold hand-knitted bags for most of that period. Through the years, Lewinsky has become the focus of numerous interviews, books, and other programs. In more recent years, she has finally focused most of her work on becoming an advocate for matters such as social welfare and, of course, cyberbullying. Besides that, she also recently helped produce the third season of American Crime Story.
