Cuomo to make over $5M from book deal
ALBANY, N.Y. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was paid $3.12 million by Penguin Random House for his pandemic memoir, American Crisis
, according to tax returns he released on Monday. And he’s due to be paid an additional $2 million by the publisher in the coming years.
Cuomo s financial records indicate that after taxes and expenses, his net gain from that initial payment of $3.12 million was $1.54 million. He has since donated $500,000 to the United Way of New York State to help with pandemic “recovery and vaccination efforts.”
