The highest compensated employees of the Clinton Foundation are all men, according to a Weekly Standard analysis.

An analysis of the employee compensation data listed in the foundations publicly available tax filings found that the top echelon of employees is comprised nearly entirely of males.

The Weekly Standard reports:

While the Clinton Foundation regularly posts annual reports and financial statements on its website, there is no requirement that the organization list compensation for all employees. The 990 form, however, asks for a list of directors, officers, trustees, and "key employees," as well as the next five most highly compensated employees not in those other categories. For 2013, this list is comprised of twenty-three names, eleven of whom received compensation (members of the board of directors are not paid, except for the chairman, who also served as CEO). When sorted by total compensation, the first eight names on the list are men, followed by three women.

The report follows findings from the Washington Free Beacon that women working for Hillary Clinton in her Senate office made just 72 cents for each dollar earned by men.

The Weekly Standard found that a wide gender gap existed in each of the four years from 2009-2013, though the analysis was limited to employees listed in foundation tax returns and was not of the entire staff.

A further analysis of the four most recent 990 filings shows that a "gender gap" among highly compensated employees at the Clinton Foundation has been relatively consistent over time, with the gap actually widening for the years considered in this analysis. The number of women represented in the highly compensated group has seen a decrease over the same time period.
