It's tough being a single teen mom, but "tough" is relative: Bristol Palin made $262,500 speaking out against teen pregnancy on behalf of the nonprofit group Candie's Foundation, reports the AP. Yep, both the sum and the word "nonprofit" are correct. AP got the figure from the group's 2009 tax information. Think Progress provides the kicker: A closer look at the tax form shows that the group doled out only $35,000 in grants to teen health clinics. (More Bristol Palin stories.)
