The asset declarations of the Prime Minister and the heads of ministries for the past year have been published on the website of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery. There are real millionaires among Tusk’s ministers. These include: Andrzej Domański and Radosław Sikorski. Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, who recently resigned from the Ministry of Culture, compares poorly with his colleagues.
Nearly a million in Domański’s savings
The wealth declaration of the Minister of Finance, Andrzej Domański, shows that he has savings of PLN 483.5 thousand. PLN 81.1 thousand euros, 23.2 thousand dollars, 7.1 thousand Swiss francs. The total amount – PLN plus other currencies converted at the current rate – is approximately PLN 960,000. zloty.
They are ‘just’ savings. In addition, there are shares and bonds valued at 879.5 thousand PLN. zloty. Domański also has investment funds with a total value of PLN 1,280,500.
Last year, the head of the Ministry of Finance obtained the following income: PLN 30,790 – for serving on the supervisory boards of XTPL SA and Auxiliius Pharma; PLN 32,900 – under a mandate contract with Auxilius Pharma; $1,020.22 – due to shares and stock ownership; PLN 179,693 – as a result of the sale of securities and shares; PLN 25,436 – income from the Chancellery of the Sejm; PLN 80,385 – revenue from PO orders for 2023.
The head of the Ministry of Finance is co-owner of a 2019 Mercedes GLC and a 2018 Colnago CX Zero bicycle. He also has two owner-occupied apartments with an area of 104.8 and 40 square meters.
The famous Sikorski country house
Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski collected PLN 230,000. PLN 65 thousand euros, 18 thousand pounds and 35 thousand dollars. In total this amounts to more than 740,000 PLN. zloty.
Sikorski also has shares and shares worth PLN 80,742 respectively; $21,975 and $9,739. He is also a beneficiary of pension plans in the United States and Great Britain with a total value of approximately PLN 1.5 million.
Until mid-December 2023, Sikorski also headed a company from which he generated an income of PLN 908.29 thousand last year. zloty. As a MEP – he lost his mandate after becoming a minister – he earned a gross income of 120,303 euros.
There are also properties, including an 800-metre mansion in Chobielin. The historic mansion and palace complex also includes: a forester’s hut, a garden, a pond, a shelter, a park and arable land with an area of approximately 13 hectares.
There is also a private apartment with an area of 133 m². and a commercial building of 66 meters.
In addition, Sikorski has a Range Rover Sport from 2019, a MW 650 motorcycle with basket from 1978 and a John Deere tractor from 2015. In addition, metals (approximately 2000 grams), antiques, furniture, sculptures, books, paintings.
Bartłomiej “not applicable” Sienkiewicz
Compared to the above two, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, who recently resigned as head of the Ministry of Culture because he is going to the European Parliament, pales in comparison.
What stands out after looking at his wealth statement is a large number of phrases “not applicable”, “none” or “I don’t have any”.
In real estate, Sienkiewicz listed an apartment with an area of 80 square meters. He included a 2021 Alfa Romeo “Giulietta” as chattel.
His savings amount to 23,334.94 PLN, 17,526.79 euros and 7,519.36 dollars.
Of his income, Sienkiewicz earned – apart from the minister’s salary and the parliamentary salary (plus parliamentary allowance) – another 810 PLN from copyrights.
It is therefore not surprising that Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz – after destroying public media and cultural institutions – evacuates to the European Parliament. However, the salary of an MEP is on a different level and you can cash it yourself.
