Millionaries? 6 figure salaries? A range please.
While we're on the topic, how about the salaries for the OTC crew?

Speaking as a personal acquaintance as someone closely associated with Rupp/NOP
Rupp: ~250k/year +/- bonuses for certain races (appearence fees, american records, ect
Farah:started at 170k a year, has since moves up to 400+k after recent successes, plus fees
Centro: 100-150k/year. marketability despite poor racing
Levins: 70k/year. still one of the highest paid runners out there
Cain: 100-150k/year soley off signing for nike. will be interesting to see how this number develops in the coming years
As for OTC, no Idea, I do know for a fact however that solinsky made a significant bonus for breaking the 27 minute barrier but aside from that, figures are not easy to come by
I know some people involved here but have no direct knowledge of numbers. What I have heard consistently is that Alberto's guys are the HAVES and Jerry's guys are the HAVE NOTS.
I think the core Oregon Project guys are making as much as the previous poster suggested and that the BTC guys are making a lot less with the exception of Shalane, who is probably has a great base salary.
The OTC team has a couple of layers to it. Some are Nike OTC Elite. They have individual nike contracts whereas some are simply OTC Elite and get a stipend from the team resources. In all this group is making a lot less than the Beaverton crews.
I think you should phrase the title "How much do Galen, Mo, and other NOP members make?"
Rich? Come on now. Runners don't get rich.

Tell that to Bolt. Also $400k might not impress anyone on wall street but it's 10x the average salary. It's rich for some.
If you don't think Rupp type figures are rich, you need to re-take Money Management 101.
I am curious about Galen's net worth, I am sure it is several million by now.
Farah said to have made 3.5 million in 2013.
Farah is making huge sums on UK-based endorsements.
I doubt Rupp's getting half of what Farah makes.
Farah will also have got an obscene amount in appearance fees for the 2013 GNR and 2014 London Marathon. Again, I doubt Rupp would earn half of what Farah does on the road.
I would check your figures again.
Wheating was making 600k a year. I think you can assume that these guys are making more than that.
Not very rich unless they inherited it. As others have said, wealthy and salary are different things.
