Comey Is Unemployed, but Likely Still Rich
JAMES COMEY'S NET WORTH ENSURES FIRED FBI DIRECTOR WON'T REALLY MISS HIS GOVERNMENT SALARY

James Comey might be newly unemployed, but he likely isn't broke.
The former FBI Director was fired by President Donald Trump Tuesday over his investigation into Hillary Clinton's private emails when she was secretary of state. "President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions," the White House said in a statement.
Back when Obama nominated Comey for the job in 2013, the former prosecutor reported his net worth in Senate documents during the confirmation process. His net worth came in at $11 million, a figure that likely rose almost immediately considering he was due a $3 million profit-sharing payout from his former employer, the hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, should he be confirmed to the post, CNN reported at the time. He worked as the firm's general counsel from 2010 through early 2013 and earned some $6 million in compensation his final full year with the company, according to Open Secrets.
Comey likely took a serious pay cut during his time with the FBI. According to U.S. Office of Personnel Management documents, the FBI paid Comey a salary of $185,000 per year. That's still some $130,000 more than the median U.S. household income, but a pay cut nonetheless.
