I don't think their salaries high. But they have benefits of tokens. They could sell those, it's like a stock as big compainies.
That's the main issue: the Tokens have no vesting period. They can cash out immediately for personal enrichment.
I guess even if the tokens will be locked for a while, still there is huge benefits for the teams. 6 months or 1 year, if the project survive that long then the teams get rich
