Been there, done that. :) So here is the most recent Form 990 available on propublica for the Internet Archive, another SF-based US non-profit. https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/943242767/202013219349323056/full https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/943... Page 1 tells us: Total number of individuals employed in calendar year 2019: 169 Salaries, other compensation, employee benefits: $10.9 million Here is the 2019 Form 990 for the Wikimedia Foundation: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200049703/202101319349300105/full https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/200... Page 1 tells us: Total number of individuals employed in calendar year 2019: 291 Salaries, other compensation, employee benefits: $55.6 million (In the 2020 Form, that latter amount has gone up to $68 million for Wikimedia, but the 2020 Form 990 for the Internet Archive isn't online yet, so this will have to do.) So, going just by the information on that page (happy to go further into the details ...), Wikimedia has about twice the employees but more than five times the salary costs. And the Internet Archive is actually very important to Wikipedia (link rot). Executive salaries at the Wikimedia Foundation are about twice what they are at the Internet Archive: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/e/e4/Wikimedia_Foundation_2020_Form_990.pdf#page=48 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/e/e4/Wikim... (2020 figures) Secondly, you seem to be completely and utterly oblivious to the question of salaries elsewhere in the world, such as India, South Africa or Latin America, which is where the Wikimedia Foundation has just been fundraising. Don't you think it is shameful for a nonprofit to go panhandling in those countries, with misleading fundraising messages implying Wikipedia will disappear if they don't give money, in order to pay people in the US a salary that is like 500 times the median income in India?
