New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife Rama Duwaji reported a combined income of approximately $145,000 on their 2025 joint tax return, according to financial disclosures released this week.

The filing shows Mamdani earned $131,000 from his political positions, while also reporting $1,600 in income from rapping activities. His wife, Duwaji, contributed roughly $10,000 to the household income through her artwork sales.

The income disclosure comes as Mamdani has aligned with Governor Kathy Hochul on supporting a proposed second-home tax for New York City, marking a notable area of agreement between the two officials who have previously clashed over budget matters.

In separate commentary, Mamdani has been quoted criticizing municipal spending priorities, stating that "$30 million is an awful lot to spend to build one supermarket," though the specific context of this remark was not immediately clear.

The financial disclosure provides insight into the personal finances of the mayor, whose diverse income sources reflect his background in both politics and entertainment before taking office.
