When he heads up The public waste company is jointly managed by the governments of Buenos Aires and Buenos AiresTapia filed a declaration of assets last July. The document reveals what you have decided to declare about your assets and income.
In his assets declaration, Tapia stated that he receives more than 818 million pesos annually in net income. This equates to about $68 million per month, out of pocket (about $45,000, at the current exchange rate). About $8 million comes from his work at Ceamse. Because of his role there, he said he devotes about 15 hours a week to it. That is, Tapia claims that he works 3 hours a day as president of the State Assembly. He has held this position since January, after having been vice president of the entity for almost 10 years, representing the city of Buenos Aires. In January, when Jorge Macri’s administration removed him from office, it was Governor Axel Kiselov, the other majority partner, who promoted him to the presidency.
CONMEBOL, whose headquarters are in Paraguay, is the main employer, according to the document. The South American Football Federation pays him about $60 million a month. The strange thing is that Tapia stated that he devotes 120 minutes a week to his role. That is, they pay him $7,500,000 for every hour of dedication.

On the other hand, in the year of his sworn testimony, Tapia added some extraordinary income from the sale of assets, financial interests, and travel expenses that exceeded an additional $200 million. About $44 million was generated from the sale of one car. It was not specified which car it was, but for that amount, a Mercedes-Benz B-Class, a Jeep Wrangler or some Audi models could have been sold, for example. The second source of income is AFA travel expenses. The association would have spent about $30 million for transportation and meals, among other needs.
Finally, report the payment of “interest/financial income” as the source of money. Specifically, interest is declared with fixed terms and a “dollar exchange differential.” In total, it accumulated $130,033,118.13.
