It's been noted that the NRA pays Wayne LaPierre over $1,000,000 per year and is wife has an interest in a PR firm that represents the organization (she also makes a ton of money from the NRA). A number of other NRA execs are also paid very high levels of compensation. This is one reason why the organization is constantly hitting up members for donations.
Where I hunt, that would be a lot of money. Where I live that is no big deal, and I am in Seattle, not DC.
It is true I don't know anyone around here with a job that pays $1M/year, but it is common for self employed attorneys and small biz owners I know.
