Money 03

Former captain Brian Greene, who retired in October 2018, saved $228,415 toward a pension over 32 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Greene would collect as much as $4.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Greene received $97,762 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Greene will have already received $302,173 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
