How Does U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice Have $23 - $43 Million Dollars?

Susan Rice, US Ambassador to the United Nations

US Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, has been getting a lot of attention in the media lately.  She was criticized after she came on television and told a fictional tale about what happened in the Benghazi, Libya attack, that killed US Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.  President Obama has been going out of his way to defend Susan Rice against critical attacks, some say, because she is Obama's top pick for Secretary of State.

Susan Rice is most recently receiving media attention because of her portfolio, which includes investments of hundreds of thousands of dollars in several energy companies known for doing business with Iran, which would be an obvious conflict of interest, when as Secretary of State, Rice would oversee the review of the Keystone XL pipeline project.  Financial disclosures reveal that Rice has had $50,001-$100,000 in Royal Dutch Shell, a longtime purchaser of Iranian crude oil.

But one question that I do not see being asked by most media is:  Where does a 47-year-old US Ambassador get $23 million to invest?
