The Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, earns $ 1,659,461, and is the highest-paid leader in the world, followed by US President Joe Biden, by a large margin, who earns $ 400,000.
And each member of the US Senate and members of the House of Representatives gets $ 174,000 annually.
And those in office—including the Speaker of the House, the Senate majority, and minority leaders—earn a bit more.
Senators have not received a pay raise since 2009.
In recent years, New Zealand prime ministers have become among the world's highest-paid leaders.
Even at the local level, new MPs earn nearly three times the average salary of ordinary New Zealanders.
Although New Zealand politicians have not had a pay raise in five years, their salaries still make them among the highest paid in the country.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern earns $299,208 a year and is among the world's highest paid leaders.
The current basic salary of a Member of Parliament is $163,961.
Canada
While Canadian prime ministers earn less than their counterparts in New Zealand, members of the House of Representatives there earn much more than their counterparts in New Zealand.
A member of the House of Commons earns $141,645 a year, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gets this amount, in addition to an additional salary for his job as prime minister, bringing his total earnings to $282,187 a year.
United kingdom
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is entitled to £161,401 ($195,581) a year.
This includes the prime minister's salary of £79,496 ($96,350) a year, in addition to his salary as a Member of Parliament.
The basic salary of a Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom is close to that of a New Zealand Member of Parliament, and the annual salary of a Member of Parliament is £84,144 ($101,934), as of April 2022.
Australia
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanes is in the top five highest-paid global leaders, receiving a salary of $564,364 ($388,878) per year.
After an increase in his salary earlier last year, the opposition leader now earns about 401,000 Australian dollars (27,637 US dollars), and the salary of an MP reaches 217,060 Australian dollars (149,660 US dollars) per year, in addition to allowances.
The annual salary of the President of the Swiss Confederation, Ignacio Cassis, amounts to 497,566 US dollars, while the annual salary of the German Chancellor, Olaf Schultz, amounts to 388,819 US dollars.
