So what is actually being paid on these H1B as salary? Using something like h1bdata.info, you can look into any company's filings. For example, the most recent Uber h1b filing[0] has a rate of pay from 110-140k but only a prevailing wage of 68k. Any insight as to what these employees are getting for base salaries?

"Wage rate" is what they are actually being paid. "Prevailing wage" is the legal minimum to be paid for the visa application to be approved for that specific position. Which just goes to show how much of a joke the prevailing wage requirement is, since this person is being paid twice what the supposed prevailing wage for their position is.
