Justice Jackson reports a $900,000 book advance and tickets from Beyoncé
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson collected nearly $900,000 last year for her upcoming memoir, among four justices to report sizable income from book deals
WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson collected nearly $900,000 last year for her upcoming memoir, one of four Supreme Court justices who reported sizable income from book deals.
Jackson also disclosed she received four tickets to a Beyoncé concert valued at $3,700 from the singer herself.
The details were included in annual reports of the justices' finances that were released Friday. Justice Clarence Thomas belatedly reported travel paid for by others from 2019: a hotel room in Bali, Indonesia, and food and lodging in Sonoma County, California, both provided by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow. He did not report any travel paid by others last year.
In addition to Jackson, Justice Brett Kavanaugh reported being paid $340,000 by the conservative Regnery Publishing company. The company was sold and the book is to be published by an imprint at Hachette Book Group, according to Axios, which also reported this week that Kavanaugh's book will deal with his contentious confirmation hearing that included allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied.
