The Rev. Al Sharpton has found an eager buyer for the rights to his life story — his own charity.

The National Action Network agreed to pay the activist preacher $531,000 for his “life story rights for a 10-year period,” according to the non-profit’s latest tax filing, which was obtained by The Post. . .

The document does not indicate when Sharpton, who is president of NAN, gets the cash, which is above and beyond the $244,661 he already pulled down in compensation from the group in 2017.

I wonder if he intends to pay taxes on this income.

[BenLurkin]

Just d-mn

That must have been one tough negotiation. He wanted a million but he talked himself down to $531,000.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The IRS should seize it for back payment.

His life story.

Just my dealings and altercations with the mafiosi to protect my vending machine route in my 20s would be more interesting.

The really interesting stuff I can’t type here.

I hate that guy.

[Farmer Dean]

The IRS should just seize the 531K.Put it toward what he already owes.

[hal ogen]

The fraud bum should be in prison .

[Eddie01]

Nice rhyme.

[laplata]

Yeah, I think he still owes the IRS a lot of money.

[LeoTDB69]

Gonna have to put in overtime on the corporate shakedowns to make that back.

[shanover]

He’s as untouchable as Clinton.

[bigbob]

He should have held himself out for more.

[easternsky]

Why such a weird amount did that clean them out.

[GnuThere]

He’s gonna go party with Brenda Snipes and needs some walking around money.

[Paal Gulli]

If America were truly color-blind, then it also would be possible for little white boys and girls to grow up to become millionaire race-mongering poverty pimps.

Oh the shame, the shame.

[dsc]

Three card monte taken to the ultimate extreme.

[ronnie raygun]

once again the color of your skin allows privileges that us white folk created but are not privy to

[Mariner]

I’m thinking the sale is legal.

But you’re right. He probably didn’t pay the income tax on it.

[HighSierra5]

There’s a special place in hell for this prick.

[lightman]

Sharkscum needed Christmas cash.

[lightman]

Sharkscum neededChristmas cash Kwanzaa Kash.

Fixed.
