Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump can look forward to a presidential salary of $400,000 if they win in November.
希拉里•克林顿和唐纳德•特朗普之中的一人有望于在十一月的美国总统大选中胜出,就任年薪40万美元的总统一职。
That's a fraction of their earning power -- Hillary and Bill Clinton banked $10.6 million mostly from speaking fees and royalties in 2015, while Trump said he made almost $560 million.
40万美元对于他们来说可谓九牛一毛——2015年,希拉里和她的丈夫比尔·克林顿主要通过演讲和版税收入赚得了1060万美元,特朗普也声称自己赚得将近5亿6000万美元(真的假的==)。
But it's the best pay on offer for a major world leader.
但与其他世界主要国家领导人相比,这薪酬已经是最高了。
Here's how the pay of prime ministers and presidents of the world's biggest economies stacks up, according to official data and converted into U.S. dollars at market rates.
以下是根据官方数据(所有收入均按市场汇率折合成了美元)得出的世界主要国家领导人收入排行。
President Obama leads the pack. On top of the $400,000 a year, he gets a tax-free expense account worth $50,000. The salary was last raised by Congress in 2001.
奥巴马以每年40万美元的收入高居榜首,同时还拥有5万美元的免税账目。国会最近一次给美国总统加薪是在2001年。
