Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s net worth has skyrocketed ever since she became a member of the nation’s highest court — which has led to criticism from experts.

Fox News reported that, according to financial disclosures, Sotomayor’s wealth increased from being in the $15,001-$65,000 range in 2008 to being in the $1,600,000-$6,600,000 range in 2021.

Sotomayor was nominated by then-President Barack Obama to the Supreme Court in 2009. A recent data analysis of her actions on the court found that she is the most partisan justice on the court.

The 69-year-old reportedly makes more than $25,000 per year teaching law schools in addition to her $285,400 salary from the court.

The Associated Press reported that the main reason that her wealth has surged is because of the books that she has written.

Sotomayor used her taxpayer-funded to court staff to enrich herself by using them to perform tasks “for the justice’s book ventures.

“Sotomayor’s staff has often prodded public institutions that have hosted the justice to buy her memoir or children’s books, works that have earned her at least $3.7 million since she joined the court in 2009,” the report said.

The report said that she continues to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties from her book sales.

The publisher of her books, Penguin Random House, has been involved in “several matters” before the court in which Sotomayor did not recuse herself.

“Justice Sotomayor would have recused in cases in which Penguin Random House was a party, in light of her close and ongoing relationship with the publisher,” the Supreme Court said in a statement. “An inadvertent omission failed to bring Penguin’s participation in several cases to her attention; those cases ultimately were not selected for review by the Court. Chambers’ conflict check procedures have since been changed.”

Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter said that he was “very concerned” about Sotomayor’s book sales while on the court.

“It’s problematic to the core,” he said. “I think that’s wrong. There’s just too much money in it, millions of dollars. We’ve got to know the difference between judges and cable news hosts.”

Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, slammed recent partisan attacks by Senate Democrats on conservative justices, saying that their silence on the Sotomayor situation revealed that they don’t actually care about ethics.

“What is unmistakable is the deafening silence of so many Democrats and others on the left who have constantly attacked conservative Supreme Court justices — and for far less,” said Davis. “If Senate Democrats actually cared about ethics, they’d start by cleaning up the crack den called the Biden White House.”

Actress Reese Witherspoon said in a recent interview that she was forced to film an “explicit” sex scene for the 1996 movie “Fear” — opposite actor Mark Wahlberg – despite the fact that she initially told the director no.

Witherspoon explained in the interview – which was published by Harper’s Bazaar on Wednesday — that the sex scene had not actually been written into the script, so she believed it was just something the director had decided he wanted to add.

The “Sweet Home Alabama” star was just 19 when she made the film — and had requested a stunt double for anything below the waist. But she said things played out a little differently despite her objections.

“I didn’t have control over it. It wasn’t explicit in the script that that’s what was going to happen, so that was something that I think the director thought of on his own and then asked me on set if I would do it, and I said no,” she said. “It wasn’t a particularly great experience.”

Witherspoon went on to note that she wasn’t looking to call anyone out over the scene – but rather, explained that it was just one of many experiences that inspired her to pursue her current passion: supporting women and telling their stories.

“I’m certainly not traumatized or anything by it, but it was formative. It made me understand where my place was in the pecking order of filmmaking,” she said. “I think it’s another one of those stories that made me want to be an agent for change and someone who maybe can be in a better leadership position to tell stories from a female perspective instead of from the male gaze.”

Actress Laura Dern, Witherspoon’s “Big Little Lies” costar, is all in with her vision: “We’ve both had to fight for our voices and therefore hope to defend others’ voices in workplace environments. She knows how little space there is in a room. She knows that experience. And now that she has that space, she’s lifting up everyone else.”
