Being a Supreme Court justice has not only been good for Sonia Sotomayor's legal career, it's also helped her bank account.

The justice reported Friday that she's received more than $3 million in advance payments for her best-selling memoir, "My Beloved World."

Her annual financial disclosure forms show that Knopf Doubleday Group paid Sotomayor $1.925 million in 2012 in anticipation of her book. This comes in addition to the $1.2 million in advance payments she received from the publisher in 2010
