Over 30 years of retirement, Ryczek would collect as much as $4.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ryczek received $96,081 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ryczek will have already received $195,044 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
