Eric Adams’ highest-paid lieutenants wield the power of City Hall

When it comes to sussing out power and influence in City Hall, salary isn’t everything. (Bernard Adams’ $1 annual paycheck should be proof of that.) But money does, as they say, talk. And the office of New York City Mayor Eric Adams is chock-full of deputy mayors, senior advisers and high-level staffers all earning more than $200,000 a year.

Here’s a look at City Hall’s top earners – including one official raking in more than Adams’ own $258,000 salary.

Lorraine Grillo, First deputy mayor – $275,000

The mayor’s second in command is also getting the largest paycheck in City Hall, but First Deputy Mayor Lorraine Grillo may be on her way out of office.

Maria Torres-Springer, Deputy mayor for economic and workforce development – $251,982

Anne Williams-Isom, Deputy mayor for health and human services – $251,982

Meera Joshi, Deputy mayor for operations – $251,982

Philip Banks, Deputy mayor for public safety – $251,982

Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks is not only making bank, but he’s also scoring frequent sit-downs with top NYPD brass – even if they sometimes exclude the police commissioner.

Sheena Wright, Deputy mayor for strategic initiatives – $251,982

Ingrid Lewis-Martin, Chief adviser to the mayor – $251,982

Ingrid Lewis-Martin has been one of Adams’ closest confidantes since his days in the state Senate, proving that loyalty really does pay off.

Brendan McGuire, Chief counsel to the mayor – $251,982

Frank Carone, Chief of staff – $251,982

Melanie La Rocca, Chief efficiency officer – $247,577

Jessica Katz, Chief housing officer – $247,577

Matthew Fraser, Chief technology officer – $247,577

Fernando Cabrera, Office of Faith Based and Community Partnerships senior adviser – $227,786

Jeffrey Rodus, Chief of staff to the first deputy mayor – $225,000

Andrea Davis, Senior adviser and director of public service engagement to the mayor – $220,000

Nathan Bliss, Chief of staff to the deputy mayor for economic and workforce development – $211,150

Justin Meyers, Chief of staff to the deputy mayor for public safety – $211,150

Jimmy Oddo, Chief of staff to the deputy mayor of operations – $211,150

Jimmy Oddo not only earns more as chief of staff to the deputy mayor of operations than he did as Staten Island borough president, but he’s also one of the few Republicans in the Adams administration.

Maxwell Young, Communications director – $211,150

Dawn Miller, First deputy chief of staff to the mayor – $211,150

Ryan Lynch, Deputy chief of staff to the mayor – $201,071

Madeline Labadie, Deputy chief of staff to the mayor – $201,000

Menashe Shapiro, Deputy chief of staff to the mayor – $201,000

A heavy-hitter from Adams’ mayoral campaign, Menashe Shapiro has used his top administration post to nix a set of New York City Council district lines.

Molly Schaeffer, Deputy chief of staff and senior emergency adviser – $201,000

Gladys Miranda, Senior adviser to the mayor and director of scheduling – $201,000

Tiffany Raspberry, Senior adviser for external affairs to the mayor – $201,000

Longtime political consultant Tiffany Raspberry may be up for a promotion after chief of staff Frank Carone departs, but as is, she’s already one of Adams’ highest-paid advisers.

Mir Bashar, Chief administrative officer – $201,000
