PM Lee isn’t just the highest paid leader in the world, he has no close second. Carrie Lam (who is second) of Hong Kong receives $S642,173 per annum, less than 30% that of PM Lee. If PM Lee were to take a massive 70% pay cut, he would still earn more than her.
2. PM Lee makes more in a day than what 5 low-income families make in a month
All civil servants have a 5 day work week and compensation is structured around that schedule. Assuming PM Lee worked 5 days a week for all 52 weeks, his daily pay would amount to $8461 ($2,200,000/(52 x 5). An average low income family would only make $1500 a month.
3. PM Lee makes more than the top 0.1% of Singaporeans
The top 1% of income earners in Singapore make $700,000 a year. The top 0.1% make close to $1.8 million, still short of PM Lee’s grand figure of $2.2 million. PM Lee’s salary doesn’t just put him among the rich, but the super rich.
