The amount they get paid, isn't why they are millionaires. To be far, most are usually well off already, but if they are t they will be by the time they leave. They have access to insider information and they made the rules so they can act on that information via the stock market.
Meaning if they know a company is going to get a big contract or funding from the govt, they can buy stock before anyone else knows about it. They have the ability to print their own money with this..
