Walmart says this store manager could earn half a million dollars this year — and he doesn't have a college degree

• Mustafa Tovi, 45, draws a base salary of $168,000 as a Walmart store manager.
• But bonuses and stock grants mean Tovi can make up to $524,000 a year, Walmart said.
• Earlier this year, Walmart announced a new managerial pay plan that helps boost staff retention.

Mustafa Tovi, 45, has spent more than half his life working at Walmart and has no regrets building his career with the big-box retailer.
