A county taxman in Georgia is raking in nearly $500,000 a year in salary, more than the US president and all 50 US governors.
Fulton Co. taxman Arthur Ferdinand’s salary keeps ballooning due to other county tax commissioners contracting with his city to do their taxes, an unusual system that’s apparently legal in Georgia, but not in neighboring states, according to local media.
“No public official has profited more from the fee system than Ferdinand, who has agreements with four cities and contracts pending with two more,” reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The Fulton tax commissioner earns more in fees from the city of Atlanta alone — $225,000 — than he does from his current county salary of $161,000.”

like to have a job like that
It's still a cost-saver for those who contract with him to do their work.
If he is doing 56 different jobs then he earned it.
He makes Caesar’s tax collectors look like school children.
