Over 30 years of retirement, Ladien would collect as much as $643,455, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ladien received $13,524 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ladien will have already received $41,802 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
