What is Michael Cohen’s net worth?

Michael Cohen, the former lawyer and one-time “fixer” for Donald Trump, has made millions of dollars selling his story about his work forthe former president.

But the taxi medallion business took a nosedive when ride-sharing apps became popular. By 2017, Cohen owned at least 34 medallions, but at that point, they were worth less than
