Rick Perry, Double-Dipper

As governor of Texas, Rick Perry gets paid $150,000 a year. But that's not all the compensation he's getting from the state, the Texas Tribune reports. Based on his previous service, since January he's also been collecting a monthly retirement annuity of $7,698.

Perry officially retired as a Texas employee at the beginning of the year, qualifying for retirement under the state's "rule of 80": The combination of his U.S. military service, state service (as a lawmaker and state officer) and age exceeds 80 years.

Perry will get a bigger annuity based on his service as governor after he leaves office.
