He also wrote or co-wrote several books, including “Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me”, “American Conspiracies” and “63 Documents the Government Doesn’t Want You to Read”.

His peak income came in 2003 when he earned $3.8 million in salary from MSNBC. In 2011, he reportedly earned $676,000. In 2012, Chris Kyle published a book in which he claimed to have knocked out a nameless man he referred to as “Scruff Face” during a bar fight. The fight allegedly occurred because “Scruff Face” disparaged the Navy SEALs. It was later revealed that “Scruff Face” was reportedly Jesse Ventura. Ventura claimed that these rumors led to his TruTV show getting cancelled and a noticeable decline in his book sales. After earning $676,000 in 2011, Ventura claims his reputation was so damaged that in 2012 he earned just $190,000.googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘dw_inline2’); });***UPDATE*** After more than a week of deliberations, on July 29 a jury decided that Ventura was in fact defamed by Kyle’s story.
