I'm just tired of the rich pleading poverty, especially CEOs who gets raises while their companies go to the toilet and employees lose everything they worked for. Even Mike Bloomberg made over $11 billion while in office, taking a $1 per year job. Eleven billion. At least he didn't take NYC to the toilet.

How much should someone running one of the largest cities in the world make? Also what were his sources of income to produce the $11B?

If that is the case why would you say this to me?

I am no CEO. Sure I make good money by most standards but I am far from rich.

Well, he is an MBA... must be evil.

His trust. He is up from 5 billion to 11.5 billion (my mistake, sorry.)

He owns Bloomberg, LP, now in trust. You see the Wall Street ticker on CNBC and other financial channels? That's thanks to Bloomberg.

Goldman Sachs and just about every other brokerage house on Wall Street got an electronic ticker, thanks to Bloomberg.

I'm not certain yet whether his reach extends to Fleet Street or other European, or Asian markets.

Did his job as mayor have anything illicit impact on that trust? I am not a Bloomberg fan, but so what if his personal wealth grew from $5B to $10B or even $100B? If he only accepted $1 in wages then you should be applauding that choice to not take unneeded taxpayer money.
