They are appointed, so I'm guessing that they are "Schedule C" employees. That is to say, they are not on the General Schedule or the Senior Executive Schedule, which means he can pay them whatever they are willing to work for. They are paid out of the budget that Congress signs, but they are not "confirmation" appointments so Congress doesn't get to vote on each one.
They probably don't have large staffs -- I would expect not more than 10 people each (including admin staff, etc) and they generally don't get a large operating budget. At least, that is how I've seen it work in the past. New Administration, new rules.
