Adams' ex Jasmine Ray made $100K private salary while also earning six figures in City Hall job

At the same time she held a full-time job in the Adams administration, Jasmine Ray, the mayor’s ex-girlfriend, was pulling in a $100,000 annual salary from a city-funded daycare center — even though a legal agreement dictated that she was only supposed to spend 10 hours per week on the daycare gig, the Daily News has learned.

Ray collected the six-figure salary from Brooklyn’s Cornerstone Day Care Center in at least two of the three fiscal years she was employed as the Adams administration’s sports czar, according to audited financial statements filed with state regulators and reviewed by The News.

The sports czar job, a newly-created post Mayor Adams tapped Ray for in October 2022, paid her another $161,000 per year, meaning between her two gigs she was raking in more than the mayor, whose annual salary has been $258,000.

Ray resigned as sports czar in September shortly before releasing a tell-all book detailing a romantic relationship she and the mayor had between about 2014 and 2016, a revelation that has sparked concerns about Adams’ decision to appoint her to a six-figure role in his administration.
