Over 30 years of retirement, Gupta would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Gupta received $51,432 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gupta will have already received $158,971 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
