This is about people at the highest leadership positions in religious organizations based in United States.

I was reading this article (in Finnish language) in a Finnish newspaper that lists the income information reported by leaders of various religious organizations located in Finland.

The reason the newspaper is able to print the information is because tax returns are considered public information in Finland.

Anyway I was curious on whether similar information can be found in USA specifically for religious organizations?

It depends on what type of organization they are. Non-profit organizations in the US are required to disclose the top 5 salary earners each year in order to maintain their non-profit status.

There are a few sites that can provide this information, but some require a subscription. Alternatively, you can contact the organizations directly and request their latest available tax information under the Freedom of Information Act. Compliance with FOIA is also dependent on what types of funds they receive and from whom.
