From Yahoo!:

The publication, citing unidentified sources, said Selig received a $6 million base salary, an equal amount in a bonus and the remainder in expenses and personal fees.

$14 million for Selig last year? Are you kidding me?

Baseball's central office paid $77.3 million in salaries and benefits to 231 employees, the report said. The NFL paid $41.5 million to 839 employees in 12 months ending March 31 last year and the NHL $13.9 million to 56 employees in the year ending June 30, 2005, when staff was reduced because of a lockout.

Selig is a terrible commissioner. Somehow the owners don't seem to agree though because they keep paying him. But how on earth can they justify this idiot getting paid this much and his staff making such ridiculous amounts (esp compared to the NFL)? Selig is milking this deal for all he can. The sooner he is gone, the better for baseball.
