Wikimedia Foundation has around $350M of founds while the website expenses has been estimated around ~$10M per year. It could be run for more than 25 years without any money.

The Wikimedia Foundation manager takes $400k as salary.

That seems fair to me honestly. He's doing a very important job and earning not much more than an average FAANG dev.
