How does Edward Snowden make a living?

LMAO at “charity of the Russian government” – easily the funniest thing I heard today.

As far as I know, he made a decent chunk of change (over $1 million) for the movie rights to his story in CitizenFour and Snowden.

Other than that, I have no clue and can’t wait to find out the answer, hopefully from the man himself.

***Update – here’s a link to Wikileaks’ Sony files that reveals Edward Snowdens’s Russian lawyer received $1 million for film rights to Snowden: WikiLeaks – Sony Archives.

Here’s the quote from the page: “The archives also detail SPE’s development of its own films and collecting “intelligence” on rival pictures, for example documents in the archive reveal the budget breakdown for Oliver Stone’s rival picture Snowden, which is currently in production. The budgetreveals the rights spend: 700,000 USD to the Guardian’s Luke Harding, 600,000 USD to Oliver Stone for his work on the script and 1,000,000 USD to Snowden’s Russian lawyer Anatoly Kucherena.”

I can’t find anything specifically mentioning his payment for CitizenFour, though Wikipedia lists it as making $3.5 million at the box office, and I have to assume Laura Poitras took care of him: Citizenfour
