The Atlantic: on Technology


Cory Booker: Millionaire from Silicon Valley-funded tech startup

Booker's donations from Silicon Valley go beyond campaign support: Various tech bigwigs have invested in Booker's dubious tech startup. The startup helped make Booker a millionaire; he also made over $1 million for speaking appearances. Critics charge he's used his connections to enrich himself. Without those endeavors, his circumstances would be relatively modest for a political star with degrees from Stanford and Yale. (His salary as mayor, which he has cut twice while in office, was $174,000.)
