The Chief Justice makes a mere $277,700 per year.

Associate Justices make only $265,600.

That’s not enough to even squeak by. They live in the Washington D.C. metro area, after all. Have you seen what a decent meal costs in Georgetown, even without cocktails and wine?

They could be making multiple seven figures in the private sector.
