What is the president's annual economic income?

A British newspaper recently compared the incomes of leaders of major EU countries. It turns out that the annual income of the same leader is three or four times different.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is one of the highest paid leaders in the European Union. His annual income exceeds 1.7 million, and he can live in the Prime Minister's residence at Downing Street 10 for free and own a country house.

French President Jacques Chirac is the leader with the least income, with an annual income of only about 50,000 pounds, mainly because France's tax revenue is almost the highest in the world. However, Chirac has his own "small treasury", which can alleviate the lack of money. Last year, he visited Japan privately, and the money for flying first class came from the "small treasury". It is reported that the president's "small treasury", also known as "secret fund", was established after World War II to promote French foreign policy. At present, the reserve amount has reached 40 million pounds, which is mainly divided equally between the President's Office and the intelligence agencies.

German Chancellor gerhard schroder's annual salary135,420, plus tax-free allowance of about 8,000. Although the government specially built a luxury villa for him in Berlin, Schroeder dared not enjoy it because the monthly rent was as high as 1480, and the round-trip transportation fee discouraged him. According to the newspaper, Schroeder and his wife can only live in a two-room apartment with only one bedroom, a windowless bathroom, a kitchenette and a dining room. Although the conditions are simple, the rent is cheap, only 366 pounds a month, only 20 steps away from his office. Until recently, the Schroeders rented a three-bedroom apartment in Hanover for 328 pounds a month.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's official annual income is only 59,093 pounds, only a little more than Chirac's, but as the media king, Berlusconi owns half of the country's television stations, plus publishing houses, insurance and real estate management. Last year, he claimed to have a profit of 5.65 million pounds, and he didn't care about the salary paid by the government. (Global Times)

The income declared by George W. Bush includes the president's salary since he took office last year 1 month and the salary he received when he was governor of Texas the year before last, accounting for $386,438+09.35 million of the total income of more than $800,000.

Compared with the former President Clintons, the income of the Bushes is obviously nearly twice as high, which is directly related to the fact that the presidential salary of Bush is twice as high as that of Clinton when he was in office. Before Clinton left office, his declared net income was less than $420,000 at 1999.
