NYC: Adams Aide Targeted in FBI Raids Won Raises That Almost Doubled Her Salary to $196,000 [View all]
Key mayoral aide Winnie Greco, who returned to work last week after going on leave following FBI raids of her homes in February, has nearly doubled her salary since Mayor Eric Adams hired her in January 2022, city payroll records show.
Greco, who volunteered for eight years while Adams served as Brooklyn borough president and served as a prolific campaign fundraiser for him over the past decade, was brought on as Adams’ director of Asian affairs and senior advisor at an annual salary of $100,000 two years ago.
While not naming her, city payroll files record an 85% pay bump last summer for the only senior policy advisor at that salary, boosting her compensation to $185,000.
This month, another raise boosted her salary again to $196,267, the records show.
A mayoral spokesperson at first did not respond multiple times when asked to confirm Greco’s salary but, when presented with the payroll records, the spokesperson confirmed the hike, noting that the summer raise was prior to any known investigations of Greco.
