 How much money does Paul Manafort still have? Did he have to give any of it up when he was convicted? He had to give almost all of it up when he was convicted, but after being pardoned, he gets a lot of it back, which is interesting. But back to Tony Podesta, what's interesting about him is that he's a very wealthy person. He just sold his house, like I told you. He's probably making more than a million dollars a year as a lobbyist.
