No idea whether or not this guy is super rich, but annual salary and net worth are two very different things.

It's an annual salary, not an isolated winning lottery ticket. Even if he doesn't currently have a super high net worth, he will soon enough unless he's spending like a lottery winner.

Maybe. I guess it depends on what you consider "super high". It'd take a few years to build up $1m from a $1m salary, and there's no guarantee the job is even kept that long.

A few years? More like 14 months if he's living reasonably.

You're leaving out taxes entirely.
