If that name hadn’t been connected to American royalty, she could have expected to rake in between $100,000 and $200,000 as a first-year network correspondent, a job that people from less-high-profile families snare only through years and years of tireless work covering the news. That salary range is confirmed by several people familiar with the compensation levels at major network news outlets.
She had no news experience, yet got a job with a major network. Not only the salary was out of line, but the fact that she got this job in the first place, is clearly an indication that she didn’t get the job on her merits.
I always wonder too, how she and her husband can afford to live in a $10 million Manhattan co-op. Who paid for that?
Criminal activities[edit]
In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 felony charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Mezvinsky, who had been working as an attorney at the time, was funneling embezzled and fraudulently obtained money to West African con men after falling victim to an online advance-fee scam.[11] In the waning days of the Clinton presidency, before the indictment was handed down, Mezvinsky’s wife wrote personally to President Clinton requesting a pardon for her husband. Clinton declined.[12] Nearly $10 million was involved in the crimes. Shortly after Mezvinsky’s indictment, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but the judge at his trial disallowed a mental illness defense.[6]
