Top 10 Highest paid president in the world 2022

A country’s president should be the person who makes the most money in that country. Even though this isn’t true for every country.

Some people in some countries make more money than their country’s head of state. In this post, we’ll show you a list of the Presidents who made the most money.

Don’t be surprised by the list, because some of the countries you think will be on it might not be. Some presidents of countries didn’t want to be paid the exact amount they were supposed to get.

Some people may wish that instead of making themselves richer, half of their pay would go to orphanages or be used to do other important things in their countries.

None of the countries in Africa were on the list. We’ll go from number ten to number one on the list of the world’s highest-paid presidents.

The president with the most money in the world.
