Over 30 years of retirement, Muhammad would collect as much as $2.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Muhammad received $60,672 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Muhammad will have already received $187,531 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
