I have no idea if this person brought 500k of incremental value to the org, they could have been actively destructive, but they certainly have enough leverage to easily pay for themselves many times over.
Often in nonprofits, the person in charge is mostly an exceptional fundraiser and so their contributions are easily visible in that realm. The corollary to that is they are often a bad manager of the org.
