He’s the million-dollar minister.

The Rev. Al Sharpton raked in $1,046,948 from his own charity last year, according to National Action Network’s 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 didn’t 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.

This is why I rarely donate to any charity.  I will help people or institutions in need directly and not take a tax deduction. I don’t like my money going to executive salaries and retirement plans.

I appreciate that. However, there are charities that do good work, and the executive company is reasonable. Last I checked Ronald McDonald House is very good. I support my local one.

I use this site to pull up their IRS Form 990 to see executive compensation, and other things.

When I lived in Charlotte the CEO of the United Way of the Carolinas pulled down $600,000. Fuck that. I stopped ever contributing the the UW since then.

A number of years ago, the UW funded a group that spent a lot of money campaigning against reduction in the Massachusetts income tax rate.
