The leaders of Singapore, Hong Kong and Kenya receive higher salaries than the US president. The amount of money world leaders make typically varies depending on the economy of each leader’s country. For example, US President Barrack Obama has a salary of $400,000 US Dollars (USD), about 8.3 times the gross domestic product (GDP) per person in the US for 2011. The salaries for world leaders in France, Japan, Germany, Canada and Australia also each have a ratio of roughly eight times more than the average GDP per capita of their country. As of 2010, world leader with the highest known salary was Lee Hsien Loong, the prime minister of Singapore, who reportedly earned $1.7 million USD, or about 40 times more than the average citizen in his country.
