Gehälter von Weltmarktführern (nominal in US-Dollar)

I feel like a not small amount of this is basically the political powers’ ability to blow smoke up people’s asses when it comes to “salary.” The amount of power and fringe benefits you get is usually way more than the cash value of the salary.

The highest paid is the PM of tiny Singapore with $1.6 million. They believe high salaries reduce corruption, and the country is listed as one of the least corrupt in the world.
