Levi Johnston, the former fiancé and baby daddy of Bristol Palin, claims that Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, resigned for money stemming from various business ventures like a book deal and reality show. Johnston says he lived with the Palin family for just over a month and overheard on numerous occasions the former VP candidate saying how she wished she could take advantage of lucrative business deals being thrown her way.

"I think the big deal was the book. That was millions of dollars," said Johnston, who has had a strained relationship with the family but now says things have improved.

Palin has a book deal, but compensation details haven't been disclosed. The governor has said she is facing more than $500,000 in legal fees.

"It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills," Palin family spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Johnston, who is also pursuing a book and potentially movie deal, made the comments on Thursday July, 9 citing that Alaskans want to know why their governor resigned.
