As soon as you hear the names of all the politicians of the world, it is natural to think that the higher their status, the more they get paid. Often people think that as a powerful nation, the salary of US President Donald Trump will probably be higher than all the politicians of the world, while it is not. Today we are going to tell you about a prime minister whose salary is many times higher than Trump. Here is Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. His salary is going to increase by 64 percent from October 15. After this huge hike, his annual income will increase from 2.2 million Singapore dollars (about 164 million rupees) to 3.6 million Singapore dollars (about 269 million rupees). With this increase in salary, Wong has come to the top of the salary ranking of the heads of government around the world. It is being claimed in many reports that the world's prime minister and the head of the Singapore government (about 3.65 million Singapore dollars) are getting paid annually.
