Now that's what I Call Great Journalism

Except, what's President Dumb going to do about it? He's going to ban immigration into the top paying charities, that's what.

Anthony Tersigni : Ascension Health Alliance : $18 million, about 30b in operating revenue

Congratulations Andrea Fuller.

"The leaders of one small ministry earned several times that. Hal Lindsey and his wife, JoLynn, operate Hal Lindsey Website Ministries, a Texas-based evangelical group. Mr. Lindsey hosts the "Hal Lindsey Report, " available online and on Christian television networks, and is the author of books on current events and prophecy.

The charity's revenue in 2014, which came almost solely from contributions, was $8.1 million. The ministry paid Mr. Lindsey $2.2 million and his wife $1.8 million. For each, this included a $1.5 million bonus.

Mr. Lindsey, 87 years old, and his wife, 62, declined to be interviewed. In a written statement, Mr. Lindsey said the bonuses were approved by the board and intended as one-time retirement benefits. He said he worked many years for little or no compensation.

The ministry's IRS filings show it paid Mr. Lindsey less than $50,000 during most years in the early 2000s but paid him and his wife a total of more than $7.8 million from 2007 through 2014."

What about Paula Wallace!! Head of Savannah College of Art and Design - how do they rake in $400 million  year? She raked in $10 million in 2014 and at least 1m a year for the prior 10 years. Here's what she's bragging about :

Letter from the president

Welcome!
Thirty-eight years ago, my family and I invented SCAD ex nihilo. I still marvel at the faith that the very first SCAD students and professors placed — sight unseen — in what would soon become a revolution in higher education. In founding SCAD, I was led by the principle that education is a fundamentally optimistic endeavor, one that presupposes that minds and bodies can be transformed through changes in behavior. Further, I believed that this same principle applied to arts education. Creativity can be taught and refined!
