Over 30 years of retirement, Espinoza would collect as much as $5.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Espinoza received $113,885 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Espinoza will have already received $231,187 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
