Recently, I came across a leak that the Chinese regional head of a major exchange earns a monthly salary of $875,100, and with bonuses and dividends, their monthly income could exceed $1.5 million. At first glance, it sounds indeed outrageous, no wonder they are called the "Work Emperor."

I used AI to roughly estimate the annual revenue scale of this exchange, which is about $5-6 billion. This size is comparable to some well-established compliant platforms in the industry. From this perspective, it’s not entirely illogical for the head of the most critical language region of an exchange to receive such a high salary—after all, the importance of the Chinese market to exchanges is self-evident.

However, after re-analyzing with AI, the conclusion leans towards: this probability is indeed low, and it seems more like a traffic-driven leak. Honestly, I haven't worked within an exchange system myself. Has anyone in the industry experienced something similar? Let’s discuss whether this is credible or not, so we can have a reference.
