Nikki Haley saved parents from debt by building $8M fortune after quitting on Trump

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley boosted her fortune eight-fold — to $8 million — after leaving the Trump administration, according to a report.

The former South Carolina governor reportedly had a net worth of less than $1 million when she surprisingly quit as President Donald Trump’s top envoy to the United Nations in 2018.

But she parlayed her national prominence into a financial windfall by hitting the speaking circuit, joining the boards of top companies and penning two books, according to an extensive look at the GOP hopeful’s finances by Forbes.

Haley, a proponent of term limits, had served as US ambassador to the UN for two years before telling Trump in her resignation letter: “I expect you will appreciate my sense that returning from government to the private sector is not a step down but a step up.”

The move quickly paid dividends. Last year, she hauled in $2.3 million from speeches at 11 events, according to Forbes.
