I just read that someone is earning $180,000, but has that been confirmed by the team itself or who found out that information?
These users are irrational FUDers interested only in damaging Nimiq's reputation with lies (you can check their entire history of messages are aggressive non-factual posts in this thread):

have answered their non-factual claims and also held a
live Reddit AMA session recently (they didn't joined of course) where
we answered questions about the salaries of the team. In
summary:
"Most people on the team get paid full time of 40 hours per week during the 52 weeks of the year, but it would also be fair to mention that most team members commit way more than 40 hours per week but do not bill their extra time to Nimiq. The rates for the gross compensations in Nimiq goes from $20 to $90 per hour. The average salary is at about $65/h, the total range for developers is $50-$90/h. This is well within arms length principle given qualification and competition for talent in this space. Team members receive their payment in BTC, ETH and NIM. In total more than 16% of the payment is in NIM. Other contributors also receive a significant portion of their remuneration in NIM to align incentives."
