I'd be curious to know Sal's response to this. From what I remember, he left a lucrative position at a hedge fund for an uncertain position at his newly founded non-profit. He doesn't seem like the money driven type. With absolutely no evidence, I would guess that:
1. Someone probably had to convince him it was okay to take that salary.
2. The level of his salary is probably just above what it took to hire their top talent, as a technology focused non-profit.

Also, there's an abundance of free educational resources on the web, it's not clear that a marginal dollar is best spent on Khan Academy at this point.
