The world’s highest-paid politician
And it isn't Donald Trump
The world is full of high-profile politicians and world leaders. From prime ministers and presidents through to dictators, who is the highest-paid today?
President of the United States, Donald Trump is one of the world's most well-known leaders. With a net worth of $2.1 billion, Donald Trump's wealth has reportedly dropped from $3.1 billion down to $2.1 billion.
HOW MUCH IS DONALD TRUMP WORTH?
According to Forbes, this was largely due to the ongoing impact of coronavirus. Trump's salary is reportedly $100,000 per quarter, making $400,000 in annual salary. Trump, already a billionaire businessman before entering office, famously donates his presidential salary, most recently giving his 2019 fourth-quarter to help fight coronavirus.
But while Trump's wage is sizable, he's a long way off from claiming the title of the world's highest-paid politician.

Lee reportedly receives an annual salary for his role as PM of $1,610,000. So, since he first entered office up to the present he's earned around $25.76 million ($1,60,000 x years in the job).
The GDP of Singapore is expected to reach $370.00 billion by the end of the year. Not bad for an island city-state in maritime Southeast Asia.
