Well, for an european that is a pretty good salary. Remember, we don't have to pay for a lot of shit us-citizens needs to do. I earn way less than that (like half and with no bonuses) and I still have the best salary of everyone I know at my age. For example, my grandfather was flown by helicopter to the hospital, got a surgery and was in recovery for about 3 days and it cost him about $20.

Nevertheless, it's far less than actual top executives at VW are paid. In 2016, the CEO made €7.2 million, another member of the management board made over €10 million, and several other executives made over €3 million[0]. Of that, about €1-1.5 million is fixed salary (aside from the huge outlier of Christine Hohmann-Dennhardt at €7.3 million). $130k (€110k) salary and especially total compensation at ~$170k (€144k) totally pales in comparison. This guy was small fry in the VW management structure.
