Bloomberg also doesn't collect his $200,000 annual salary as mayor and donates $200-$250 million a year to arts and health programs that would otherwise be looking for government funding.

He's hired the extra cooking staff because he's nearly doubled the number of events he hosts for city employees who are otherwise getting benefits cut. If he wants to hire three chefs rather than spend multiples of that cost on catering (try pricing catering in NYC sometime), more power to him.
