I'm Honored to Receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom | Mike Bloomberg

I’m deeply honored to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Joe Biden.

But this honor doesn’t just belong to me. I hope everyone who has worked at Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies over the years, or served New York City during our administration, takes pride in what we have been able to achieve together.
