What is Sarah Palin up to now? The controversial ex-Alaska governor has since backed Donald Trump, run for congress and appeared on The Masked Singer, maintaining her millions with Cameo earnings
- The former Republican VP candidate made US$211,500 from Cameo, found new love in NHL star Ron Duguay after her divorce from Todd Palin, and was twice defeated in her Alaska House seat bid
- Tina Fey has played Palin on SNL and the political figure’s daughter, Bristol, found fame via appearances on reality shows Dancing with the Stars, Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp and Teen Mom OG
Sarah Palin was once one of the world’s most polarising political figures. Now, almost two decades after the former beauty queen became Alaska’s first female governor, Palin still attracts a strong crowd.
The Donald Trump supporter makes money from sharing her political views via personalised recordings, and attends rallies to promote conservative Republican views. She’s also dabbled in reality television in between.

The “Take Our Border Back” rally
The war between Texas governor Greg Abbott and US President Joe Biden over control of the border – an extension of the fight over immigration rights – continues to rage.
In February this year, Palin, 59, told crowds gathered at the “Take Our Border Back” rally in Dripping Springs, Texas that they would “take our country” back after the state’s National Guard took control of the border from federal agents. Per the New York Post, Palin said the federal government had allowed the “invasion”.
