Karoline Leavitt could be set to become a millionaire if she makes one potential career move after leaving the White House. The 29-year-old officially retired as the White House press secretary in late August after working for President Donald Trump for just over a year, and she's now looking ahead to her next goal.
In the weeks since her career shift, Karoline has been sharing updates with her 3.1 million social media followers, and, according to the experts, this could prove to be a very lucrative career option for her if she continues to pursue it - potentially bringing in millions of dollars for her family.
The mom-of-two, who has son Niko, two, and daughter Vivi, four months, with her 61-year-old husband, Nicholas Riccio, stepped away from politics two weeks ago. She said she wanted to spend more time with her family, and now, she could use that to her advantage in a social media career.

Karoline already regularly shares pictures and videos of her family to millions of followers on Instagram, and according to experts, taking the right brand deals on the platform could make her very rich.

The mom recently made a post in which she recommended her favourite baby carrier. And while she made it clear she was not sponsored by the brand to promote the item, experts say this was likely done to "gauge audience appetite" before fully committing to a paid advertisement.
If she wanted to, it would be very easy to cash in on her millions of followers by promoting similar products.

Evan Nierman, founder and CEO of Florida-based PR firm, Red Banyan, told the Daily Mail: "Karoline Leavitt already has the two ingredients most people spend years trying to manufacture: instant name recognition and an audience that already trusts her voice.
"That gives her a real head start if she wants to build a lifestyle brand and monetize the platform she has already earned, provided she treats it with the same discipline she brought to her political career."
If Karoline were to decide to go all-in on influencing, the expert theorized that she could make anywhere from five to six figures for one sponsored post. And if she were to negotiate the higher end of that scale, just 10 posts could make her $1 million - making it a very lucrative business idea.

The mom could even rake in millions even without committing to being an influencer full-time.
Trump recently confirmed that Karoline will continue to serve as one of his "outside advisors", so her mommy blogging career might have to take a backseat, but she could still rake in cash with just a few brand deals.
Influencing isn't the only career option Karoline is assessing, however. It was recently reported that ABC's The View is interested in having her join the show as a co-host, and she is said to be considering the idea.
