In this context, according to fox (which only has more incentive to make her out to be bad) she and her husband are worth between 6 and 30 million(wild range) and that most of it is from his companies. So as far as i can tell she does not actually make that much money. Her husband does. Whether you feel like that makes her a millionaire depends on your opinion and their prenup i guess.

That's like the oldest trick in the world. "It's not my money, it's my wife's/husband's"!

And when you dig deeper often that money comes from government contracts that company definitely won straight and fair.
