Millionaire Hochuls take massive pay cut as hubby ditches controversial gaming gig
NY Post ^ | 7/05/25 | Gabrielle Fahmy

New York Gov. Hochul and hubby have between $2.2 million and $4.3 million in the bank– less than they’ve declared in the past, newly released state financial disclosures show.

William Hochul Jr. took a job defending white-collar criminals for Manhattan law firm Davis Polk in January 2024, making between $850,000 and $950,000 last year, according to the 2024 filings, which do not include exact income figures but a range.

It’s a significant pay cut from the $1.45 to $1.55 million he made the year before as counsel for gaming giant Delaware North, a gig he left in August 2023 amid conflicts-of-interest controversies.

His company was lobbying his wife’s office over lucrative contracts and sports betting. Reports found Hochul’s administration took steps in several disputes involving upstate gambling rights that were in line with the interests of her hubby’s multibillion-dollar firm.

The first gentleman still received deferred compensation of close to $100,000 from Delaware North in 2024, filings show.

Bill Hochul’s reduced income wasn’t the only hit to the couple’s pocketbook — the cash in their accounts shrank from a range between $2.9 and $5.6 million in 2023.

Filings show they sold some investments – but it’s not clear where the money went. The Post has reached out to Gov. Hochul’s office.

The couple held as many as 180 different stocks and financial assets in 2023 — more than She-Wolf of Wall Street Nancy Pelosi.

Our political system is grotesque. I’m reading some of the garbage in the so-called beautiful bill and it’s disgusting. These politicians are a political mafia.

Not grotesque...It's huge...It's not your neighborhood school board.

I read the Bill...don't agree with everything...but far from disgusting.

It is so interesting, how politicos make millions, just on meager government salary.
I would guess, all that perks!

Makes me wonder how he will somehow be involved in that new nuclear power plant that NY State is building on the western part of the state.

Mr. Hochul has been in private practice, both at law firms and in house. I assume that’s how they got rich.

Money can’t buy love. Money can’t buy happiness. And in Kathy Hocul’s case it can’t buy you lifelike facial expressions. Seriously, watching her creeps me out. She’s looks like a survivor of a minor stroke
