According to financial disclosure documents that Lake filed as part of her US Senate bid on Tuesday, the former TV anchor made at least $175,000 from paid speeches and book royalties.
The other $75,000 came from speeches Lake gave to conservative groups in Texas, California, New York, and Idaho, sometimes netting $15,000 for one appearance.
In a statement, a Lake spokesperson accused the media of having "Kari Lake derangement syndrome."
Advertisement Lake did file a financial disclosure when she ran for governor, disclosing her position as a communications advisor for DeWit's firm.
Lawmakers on both the left and the right have, in some cases, managed to make more than their salaries via book sales.
