So, the president of Sri Lanka earns 7k per annum. That's less than 1k per month. How true is that?

Still. $9.6B per annum from the commonwealth for one man is nothing short of dictatorship cum grand corruption.

How about Cote d'Ivoire , home of the wicked President. There Allassane Ouattara, the criminal illegal immigrant from Burkina Faso has been hijacking the presidency for 15 years ? Him and his Jewish franco-Algerian wife are stealing the whole country.
All natural resources are plundered and no-one knows the exact number of cabinet ministers.


Where is Nigeria, home of the sleeping King? Tinubu should make 12 dollars US a year , say 1 dollar a month for
sleeping every time during cabinet meetings.


Where Gabon, home of the dancing Coup leader (Oligui Nguema)? The mani is doing nothing but always dancing during
ceremonies.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7cD_pXTS7no

Where is Guinea -Conakry , home of the Drug kingpin and coup leader Mamadi Doumbouya? The country's national
resources are in his pockets.

Where is Congo -Kinshasa, home of the laziest do-nothing president in the world? Felix Tshisekedi is only interested in empowering his
multi billion -dollar family empire when Rwanda a tiny country is taking over big chunks of his country.

Who told you the Saudi king is a public servant? He's a king, a monarch. Not elected but selected by heritage.

This is even small. Check how much the Saudi Royal family earns - I mean the entire family's bloodline. Even children born today into the Royal Family. Even princes and princesses that will never ascend the throne in their lifetime.

Saudi practice monarchy and the majority of the nation's wealth is concentrated in the Royal family - same with most of the oil rich Arab countries.

Learn global politics, you guys won't but want to argue blindly.

Saudi system of leadership is different from what is practiced in Nigeria or the USA. If you want to question anything, remove the top 4 from your target.

I doubt this statistics.

Saudi Arabia pay their king $9.5billion annually yet he is not the richest man on earth, how? Or maybe he controls the nation's resources and brings out from there to cater for the nation?


It's not possible.


Saudi Arabia is not that rich to afford such when they are struggling with a project for a new city of some billions.


This is fake news.


Also, European countries don't pay their political leaders as high as what was stated here for some European countries.



This stat is fake news jareh undecided

You ate absolutely right with that Public Servant observation but the the point is the King of Saudi Arabia is not a Public servant.

He owns the Wealth of the States technically and he is at a liberty to dispense it as he deemed fits.

Look at the Country's name SAUDI Arabia. The country was named after their grandfather.
Re: Annual Salary Of 40 World Leaders, Ranked From $9.6 Billion To $7K by Razzness(m): 5:12pm On Oct 26, 2025
How does one human being earn 9.6 billion dollars that's like budget of multiple countries combined. Moreover, if he was indeed earning such an exorbitant amount he would probably be richer than Elon musk 10 years time.
Re: Annual Salary Of 40 World Leaders, Ranked From $9.6 Billion To $7K by richiemcgold:
The first three countries on the list are ruled by monarchy, not democracy. Leadership position in those countries is hereditary and exclusively for royal families. You don't expect Arab kings and princes to earn peanuts. Do you?
