The Rev. Al Sharpton raked in $1,046,948 from his own charity last year, according to National Action Networks latest tax filings obtained by The Post.
Sharpton got a $324,000 salary 32% higher than his 2017 pay in addition to a $159,596 bonus and $563,352 in other compensation.
The Harlem-based nonprofit which Sharpton controls as president and CEO said the extra cash was to make up for the years from 2004 to 2017 when he didnt get his full pay.
NAN said it hired an executive compensation firm that determined the good reverend was owed $1.252 million but he was generously willing to take $500,000 less.
Sharpton and the nonprofits board also agreed he has now been fully compensated for all the years he was underpaid and received no bonus, the NAN statement said.
The sharp-dressing, silver-tongued preacher defended the windfall before taking the stage for his weekly rally at NANs House of Justice in Harlem, an event where attendees throw cash in the collection bucket at the reverends behest.
Fifteen years, you are talking about since 2004 when I came back after running for president, he said. For anybody else it would be laughable.
He said he also deserved the 2018 raise.
Its a six-day-a-week job and several hours a day and when [the compensation firm] compared it to other companies, other non profits, thats the salary that they would get, he said
