In 2009, Norquist received $200,000 in annual compensation for his part-time job (24 hours per week) with Americans for Tax Reform, plus an addition $22,419 other compensation from the organization and related organizations."

So, say he really takes home twice that amount, $400,000 a year. That'd put in the top 1% of income earners, but, his income is still closer to the bottom 10% than the top 0.1%!
