According to Chris Botta of Sports Business Journal (http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2014/08/04/Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/NHL-compensation.aspx?hl=nhl&sc=0), Bettman pulled in $8.8 million in salary and benefits during the 48-game campaign, which was ahalf million dollar raise from the $8.3 million (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/puck-daddy/much-does-gary-bettman-paid-8-3-million-125034419--nhl.html) he earned for the fiscal year ending in June 2012. During Lockout II in 2004-05, he made $3.7 million.
Botta also notes that among the NHL’s top executives, Bettman was one of the few to see their salary rise. His two right-hand men actually saw decreases in pay.
