Aside from scandals and federal indictments, working for FIFA seems like a pretty sweet gig if you're interested in big paychecks.
According to Bloomberg, FIFA employees make an average salary of $242,000 a year. Citing data from London-based salary benchmarking site Emolument.com, Bloomberg said FIFA pays its employees 37% more than Europe's soccer governing body, the UEFA.
When compared to other nonprofit organizations, FIFA's payouts look even bigger. According to Emolument, the average nonprofit employee makes $66,000 a year. The report also notes that the average hedge-fund professional ($180,000) and financial trader ($194,000) make less than FIFA staffers, before bonuses are considered.
