How does that even compare? Senators make even less. Why not mention them? Politicians don't count, they have other motives and goals. An executive typically doesn't.

An executive of a NPO is still an executive. Unless they are one of the very rare individuals that is completely altruistic, some coin is going to need to be laid out or that person will be jumping ship fairly quickly.

Programmers, salesmen, hell even welders can make into 6 figures. I don't think it's unreasonable to pay somebody in charge of billions of dollars, disaster relief, and over 30k employees a healthy salary.
