Named on the study's payments. Being named is not being paid: the money in the figures above went to the recipients listed, not necessarily to these people.

What you are looking at

Research payments are tied to a study. Being named on a study as a principal investigator is reported separately from being paid as a recipient, and the two are not the same thing — a named investigator has not necessarily received the money.
