Cory Booker released 10 years of tax returns Wednesday, which showed he earned $1.7 million for paid speeches he gave when he was mayor of Newark.
Booker’s campaign provided The Washington Post a list of the places where he gave paid speeches between 2008 and 2013, most of them at universities. He was also paid to speak by nonprofits and companies, including Google, General Mills and MetLife. A May 2013 USA Today article about Booker’s paid speeches says that from 2008 to 2013, Booker donated about $620,000 of the income earned from them to charity.
Most of that charitable giving came in 2013 when he gave away stock to charities in and around Newark, including the Monmouth Medical Center Foundation and the AIDS Resource Foundation for Children.
