I found Wikimedia's financial statement for 2020[1], in case anyone interested in details.

They have over 500 employees[2]. Not sure why they need so many, considering average salary is $100k/yr.

The actual number of employees included in the $68 million salary bill is far lower, because many of the over 550 WMF staff are contractors:

According to the Form 990, there were 320 US employees and a small number of non-US employees in 2020:

Note the explanation of what's included in the salary costs here:

So I reckoned the average salary cost is more like $200k per person:
