Kellyanne Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Conway is widely recognized as the campaign manager of the US President-elect Donald Trump. She is the first successful woman campaign manager. Besides, she is a pollster and a strategist by profession.
Conway’s entry into the 2016 US Presidential election started when she endorsed Republican candidate Ted Cruz. Initially, she was criticizing Trump as being too extreme. In late January, Conway called Trump ‘literally bulldozing over the little guy to get his way’. However, as the previous Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was fired, Kellyanne Conway was subsequently appointed as Trump’s senior advisor.

This election seems to have been a lucrative business for Conway. She reportedly has banked over $1.9 million from this campaign. That amount is more than double the amount she bagged in the previous Obama-Romney election. On the other side, while Conway was working for Ted Cruz, she made a donation of $5400. However, how much she received from him hasn’t been disclosed.
