Billionaire Jamie Dimon Calls Mamdani’s Tax Proposals ‘Embarrassing’

Dimon said the talks centered on waste cuts, development rules and public-private partnerships as JPMorgan warned of long-term economic risks.

  • JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday to discuss reducing government waste, cutting development red tape, and expanding public-private partnerships.
  • Dimon's outreach stems from a campaign-era pledge to assist Mamdani, despite publicly criticizing the mayor's proposed annual surcharge on homes valued above $5 million as "embarrassing."
  • Describing the meeting as "constructive," Dimon noted that Mamdani, who oversees 300,000 employees, "has never had a job like that," emphasizing that governing requires practical administration rather than ideology.
  • When Bartiromo raised Mamdani's controversial video outside hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin's $238 million penthouse, Dimon agreed it was a security concern but said, "My opinion was, he was very polite."
  • Regulatory reform remains Dimon's priority; he argues housing shortages stem from bad policy rather than market forces and maintains he remains willing to support the city's success.
