From https://cadenza.work/news/orchestra-pay-gap NY Phil: highest paid musician (after the conertmaster) Anthony MGill, $545,162
Philadelphia Orch: highest paid musician (after the concertmaster) Ricardo Morales, $439,975
Chicago Symphony: second highest paid musician (after the concertmaster and the principal trumpet) Stephen Williamson, $408,828

It appears that the clarinetists in other orchestras are not the highest paid musicians in their orchestras.

It's good to see at least some top salaries so high. Almost what the top sports were guys in 1975.....

-about 10 times higher than what a clarinetist with a top European orchestra brings in.

Probably wasn’t true with Berlin under Karajan. That was by far the highest paid orchestra of the time. I would think modern Vienna and Berlin are still pretty high up there. I don’t think members of the the New York Philharmonic own any houses in Majorca.
