The Wealth of New York’s Mayoral Candidates, Ranked
Bill De Blasio
2012 Income: $158,205
Hammering home the real takeaway from all this — which is that candidates who were actually employed by the government earned far less than their peers in the public sector — de Blasio earned $158,205 in his position as Public Advocate last year. He also donated a higher percentage of his income to charity than most, reporting a little over $7,000 in charitable gifts in his joint filing with his wife.
