Renumeration of Country Leaders

August 6th 2010 03:27
Leaders of the fee world

How much a country's leader is paid compared to GDP per person?

As reported by The Economist, Kenya's prime minister was recently awarded a pay increase that would make him one of the highest-paid political leaders in the world. Incredibly, his new annual salary of $430,000 (in US dollars) would be 240 times greater than Kenya's GDP per person.

How much are the world's leaders paid and is there a great variance between countries?

The graph below will answer those questions. It reveals that while American President Barack Obama earns $400,000 per year, this pales in comparison to Lee Hsien Loong, the prime minister of Singapore who takes home a whopping $2.2 million.
Manmohan Singh, the prime minister of India on the other hand receives a meagre $4,000 of taxpayer’s money each year.
