The Attorney General makes a salary of $186,600.
In addition, Holder says he will be due about $2.5 million from the law firm in 2009 from deferred compensation, compensation for work performed in the current year, repayment of his partner equity account and a $1.3 million "separation payment."
And that's all from working for the firm only since 2001 when he last left the Justice Department.
