Nearly $1 million in bonuses was received by Al Sharpton from his National Action Network nonprofit organization.

Over the years, Al Sharpton, the founder and CEO of National Action Network (NAN), has given himself substantial bonuses, in addition to his role as an MSNBC host.

In 2014, Sharpton started listing "bonus & incentive compensation" in his tax records and would do so every two to three years.

In 2016, Sharpton received a $437,555 bonus, which was more than his listed base compensation of $250,000.

In 2018, he reported a total compensation of $923,988, which included a $159,596 bonus and $563,352 in other reportable compensation.

In 2021, Sharpton received a $278,503 bonus, which was about 80% of his $348,174 base salary that year.

Over a seven-year period, Sharpton received a total of $940,054 in bonuses from his nonprofit organization.

NAN did not immediately respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment.

In recent weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign has been under scrutiny due to the revelation that they paid $500,000 to NAN before a friendly interview with the Democratic nominee just weeks before the election.

After losing to President-elect Donald Trump, the Harris campaign made two $250,000 donations to Sharpton's nonprofit organization in September and October. However, Sharpton did not disclose the apparent conflict of interest to viewers before or after the interview, nor did he disclose the donations to his bosses at MSNBC.

MSNBC claimed ignorance about the payments made to Sharpton's nonprofit, which was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

Although Sharpton has been involved in a "pay to play" scheme, he continues to host his weekend show and frequently appears on other MSNBC programs, including "Morning Joe," "Deadline: White House," and "The ReidOut."

In 1991, Sharpton founded NAN, which is known as one of the leading civil rights organizations in the country and advocates for "No Justice, No Peace."
