Over 30 years of retirement, Zhu would collect as much as $556,866, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Zhu received $11,704 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Zhu will have already received $48,966 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
