    For one example, see Barney Frank, co-author of the Dodd-Frank act. After retiring from congress he found himself with a board role on Signature Bank. Over the seven years he "worked" there he accumulated around $1M in salary + equity. Or for another example, see the Hunter Biden/Burisma story. I think the media coverage of this is mostly partisan quackery, but it's a useful illustration here as to how you can make a good deal of money just being vaguely associated with american politicians. Hunter is certainly not unusual in this regard.
