Depends on your definition of rich. Most of her life has been spent in academics or working for the government. A nice 6-figure income is nothing to scoff at but not crazy wealthy. Once she left that and entered into the speaking tour gig her income has shot up.

Is there any evidence she would have done something different before she got speaking fees?

You could be right, we'll never know. But I do think it is hard to be impartial to people who have been bribing you for the past couple years.
