RE: Fact check—Hunter was paid $160,000 a month.
The compensation seems to be shifting all the time. First, I hear it was just $50,000 a month. Now it has balooned to more than 3 times that much??
There’s two numbers thrown around. One is the monthly salary to be on the board for $50k. Now, one reminder...the Ukraine tax rate is 18-percent, so he paid them some amount of money (unless he avoided their system). Also, below $103k a year on foreign income....is tax-free with the US system, but the rest, he has to pay US income tax upon. No one has ever chatted much about that, plus the state income tax he had to pay.
On the second issue....he was listed somewhere as a lobbyist for the company, and took in some kind of associated income. That might be the rest of this money being talked about.
I heard $82,000 a Month.
Whatever, I’m sure Joe, oops Hunter was worth every penny.
