Around US$517k. Singapore dude gets paid US$2.47million.

There is a bit in the SCMP about it today.

$400,000 isn't a high-paying position? Wow! I'd love to have your pay cheque!

[Krad]

Well, considering he's one of the most powerful men in the world, 400k a year isn't exactly high either.

where have you been for the last 2 years? lol look at the salaries of all the bailed out bank CEO's, auto industry execs, the list goes on...never mind the oil companies and techies...

It might not appear to be much now, but I am sure if you factor in that if Obama finishes his 4 year term, and say Hillary takes the reigns, won't Obama see his life out earning the same amount like a very FAT pension plan ? He'll still get the security detail deployed, the limo, the use of the govt air wing, likely get paid $150K US ( or much more ) for motivational public speaking engagements ( Bill Clinton ), and I assume his current $400K salary will continue to be paid out for the rest of his natural life.

How many people enjoy a superannuation plan that pays $400K US a year ?

Or doesn't it work like that ? Bill Clinton seemed to do quiet o.k, after being El Presidente...
