I was told that the highest paid official in the NBA makes close to $300,000 per year. Also add in the playoffs. I heard they make $75,000 if they make it all the way to the finals and they give the officials who don't make the playoffs $15,000. They have perks also like two uniforms a year, jackets which change almost every year, a laptop ( I think this is accurate, they used to get a video playback device to look at plays), a traveling bag, first-class tickets (can be traded for coach but you must claim) and $295 a day per diem. That is pretty good. One thing I don't know, what are they required to do/where are they required to be during the off season?
