Rev. Al Sharpton’s charity nearly doubled his compensation and also shelled out close to $300,000 for private jets so that he and other bigwigs could attend “important gatherings.”

The National Action Network paid Sharpton $348,174 in 2021 as its president and CEO and gave him a hefty bonus of $278,503 — plus $22,117 worth of benefits for total compensation of $648,794, its latest tax filing shows.

The preacher’s 2020 compensation came to $347,183, which did not include a bonus.

NAN also forked over nearly $1 million on private jets and limos.

Jesus Christ sacrificed himself on the cross so that “reverend” Al Sharpton could have a good life. Sarc.

So much fake outrage

NY Post can’t spell. Racist is spelled r-a-c-I-s-t, not “Rev”. The racist Al…
There, fixed it.

Charities and Foundations setup by billionaires are the two biggest tax dodges in the world.

Billionaires who claim to give away all their money, except it all goes their personal foundations are legal tax cheats

Charities like this one that pays Al Sharpton exorbitant salaries and benefit’s plus BLM are tax cheats as well

And this is only what is reported.

This humble man of the cloth, this servant of the Almighty, being vilified again on this forum? I’m sure teardrops are falling on his $6,000 suit and $3,000 shoes.

Even the NY Times had to start admitting Sharpton’s multimillion dollar lifestyle while preaching to no congregation on Sundays, was questionable.

((for 60th birthday and fund raising for his National Action Network non-profit group, Sharpton was warmly praised at a dinner by President Obama, Gov. Cuomo, Mayor DeBlasio and others as a civil rights icon))

“I’ve been able to reach from the streets to the suites,” he said that night.

Indeed, Mr. Sharpton’s influence and visibility have reached new heights this year, fueled by his close relationships with the mayor and the president.
Obscured in his ascent, however, has been his troubling financial past, which continues to shadow his present.

Mr. Sharpton has regularly sidestepped the sorts of obligations most people see as inevitable, like taxes, rent and other bills. Records reviewed by The New York Times show more than $4.5 million in current state and federal tax liens against him and his for-profit businesses.

And though he said in recent interviews that he was paying both down, his balance with the state, at least, has actually grown in recent years. His National Action Network appears to have been sustained for years by not paying federal payroll taxes on its employees.

With the tax liability outstanding, Mr. Sharpton traveled first class and collected a sizable salary, the kind of practice by nonprofit groups that the United States Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration recently characterized as “abusive,” or “potentially criminal” if the failure to turn over or collect taxes is willful.

Al should be in jail in any other country

[minnesota_bound]

Has he paid any compensation to the 7 people that were burned to death in a store from a riot he created?

[Vaduz]

I bet he still owes back taxes the maggot.

[laplata]

I doubt it. And I’d bet his conscience, if he has any, doesn’t bother him, either.

Professional race baiting grifter and criminal. I hope his jet crashes—with him inside.
