In 2001, the salary of the US president doubled from $200,000 to $400,000. Obama has been criticized for this high salary, but compared to some world leaders, it is just a fraction. In addition to salary, it is worth considering these salaries in regards to the levels of corruption in these nations and overall wealth of these leaders.
