Singapore’s prime minister is set to earn a massive $3.6 million annually — more than the combined salaries of U.S., Swiss, and several other global leaders — after 15 years without a pay raise. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will donate his entire salary bump to charity for five years. The “clean wage” system ties political pay to top private-sector earners, ensuring competitiveness while eliminating hidden perks. Existing ministers get phased, performance-based adjustments, not immediate full raises, as Singapore aims to attract elite talent to public service.
