Former state university employee Josef Lakonishok, who retired in March 2017, saved $218,005 toward a pension over 14 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lakonishok would collect as much as $9.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Lakonishok received $198,986 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Lakonishok will have already received $403,942 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
