Are you saying that's a lot, or not a lot?

At somewhere elite like Facebook many of those staff members are probably being paid about half of that in compensation. And then they have massive server farms to run.

Facebook has 30,000+ employees. There's no way even half of them are getting paid $500k.

No need to guess, median worker pay is public information. At Facebook it is $228,651.

There is non-cash perks including healthcare and other overhead.

I'm not equating that to how much each staff member costs, i'm saying thats what each staff member on average is roughly responsible for spending each year!
