The Prime Minsiter of India only gets paid $2,600 per year!

With great power comes great responsibility, and if you're the Prime Minister of India - it apparently comes with little to no pay. You would think that since he is the leader of a country that is home to a little over 1/7th of the population, his salary would be one of the larger ones.


If you were to compare the salary of the Prime Minister of India to the President of the United States, you would come to the conclusion that someone is being either under paid, or over paid. The salary of the President of the United States is $400,000, which is approximately 153 times more than the salary of the Prime Minister of India!


The salary difference has to do with the unfortunate fact that India is an incredibly poor, and sometimes economically unstable country. The current Prime Minister is Mammohan Singh, and he has been his position of power since May 22, 2004.
