Academia

Warren joined the University of Pennsylvania Law School as a full professor in 1987. In 1992, she taught for a year at Harvard Law School as the Robert Braucher Visiting Professor of Commercial Law. In 1995, Warren left Penn to become Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. In 1996, she became the highest-paid professor at Harvard University who was not an administrator, with a $181,300 salary and total compensation of $291,876. As of 2011, she was Harvard's only tenured law professor who had attended law school at an American public university. Warren was a highly influential law professor, publishing in many fields, but her expertise was in bankruptcy and commercial law..

Political career

In 2012, Warren defeated incumbent Republican Scott Brown and became U.S. senator from Massachusetts. She was reelected in 2018. She was frequently mentioned by political pundits as a potential 2016 presidential candidate but repeatedly stated that she has no intention of running for president.

On February 9, 2019, Warren announced her candidacy in the 2020 United States presidential election. She was briefly considered the front-runner for the Democratic nomination in late 2019, but support for her campaign dwindled, and she withdrew from the race. She was reelected to a third Senate term in 2024.

Fortune

Coming from a modest background, she has amassed a fortune of $12 million (as of 2019). In addition to her generous Harvard remuneration, she also was a paid consultant, mediator, writer of amicus briefs or expert witness for numerous corporate cases, dating back to 1985.

Warren received $822,573 from employees or PACs affiliated with the Pharmaceuticals/Health Products industry in the period 2019-2020.
