If you work for a nonprofit, you can be paid a salary; if you control a nonprofit, you can pay higher salaries to yourself and/or your friends.

Yep. At which point that becomes embezzlement is super vague, but presumably it would be at some point. If you’re just a little loose with self compensation as opposed to potentially sinking the organisation, though, you could get away with it.
This goes for the feed-the-starving-kids type nonprofits, too. I’m aware of examples that pretty much spend everything on management and marketing IRL.
IANAL
