For Al Sharpton, the business of racial justice has been very lucrative — his compensation has grown fourfold since the Black Lives Matter movement was founded, tax records show.
Sharpton and his tax-exempt National Action Network 501(c)(4) organization have been fierce opponents of "threats to racial justice" since the tragic death of Trayvon Martin in 2012. The death of Martin was only the beginning in a long line of tragedies to which Sharpton and his network have brought national media attention, becoming in the process among the most outspoken critics of police brutality. It has become somewhat of a business model for Sharpton — and very lucrative at that.

"Freddie Gray was robbed of the life he had ahead of him, his family was robbed of a loved one, and the Baltimore community has been robbed of a young man and, in recent days, a sense of peace," Sharpton said in a 2015 statement. Sharpton and his National Action Network (NAN) hosted press conferences and staged rallies for the deaths of multiple young men and women killed by police, and Sharpton often attends and speaks at their funeral services — including multiple appearances to honor George Floyd.
Sharpton was paid a total of $1,238,704 between January 2003 and December 2012, according to a review of National Action Network’s publicly available financial records. In 2013, NAN paid Sharpton $241,545 (roughly the same amount as in each of the previous four years). That was the year that the Black Lives Matter movement was founded after the July 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman in the controversial 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Since 2013, Sharpton's compensation at NAN has risen dramatically along with NAN's revenues. In 2014, Sharpton was paid $412,644 — a more than 70% increase over the previous year — and NAN’s total revenues approached $7 million. (NAN's average annual revenue in the preceding three years was $4.4 million). NAN's most recently available financial report is for the year 2018, and it lists Sharpton's salary as $1,046,948 — a four-fold increase from 2013. NAN's revenues in 2018 were $7.3 million — its highest ever.
