Wikimedia gets a TON of money each year, way way way more than it needs to support "The Projects" (including salaries of developers). Yet the fundraisers still cry out like if you don't give them money, the site might go offline. Also most everyone at the WMF is not getting paid amazingly (seeing is how they are San Francisco based).
And I don't know how it is now, but back in the day (about 10 years ago or so) their spending internally was hilariously wasteful. It's been a while, but based on what news keeps coming out about them... I don't think it's gotten any better.
