Bristol Palin's big earner

Tax documents show unwed mother Bristol Palin made more than US$262,000 ($339,000) for her role helping raise awareness for teen pregnancy prevention in 2009.

The most recent data for The Candie's Foundation that's posted online by research firm GuideStar shows compensation at US$262,500 for the now-20-year-old daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee.

Bristol Palin was 18 when she was appointed as a teen ambassador for the New York-based foundation in 2009, months after giving birth to son Tripp. She and the 2-year-old boy's father are no longer together.
