Are US Supreme Court Justices rich people?

Most of them are wealthy, not because of their salary on the Court, but because of outside activities, such as speaking engagements, book sales, investments, etc.


Note

US Supreme Court justices are prohibited from taking money for speaking engagements while in office; this is considered an ethics violation, and may be an impeachable offense. Justices can only be reimbursed for their expenses while still on the bench.
