Prime Minister Motley deserves to be the highest paid she is doing a fabulous job in Barbados. She needs a raise.🇯🇲
Poor thing and poorly thinking
She is in fact the highest paid in the Caribbean
The best in the caribbean. We want more like Mia 🙏🏿👏🏿
She has more integrity than all the Jamaican politicians combined. And I only limit to Jamaica because I don't know many of the others.
@LoveMagicChannel also has more integrity than the corrupted leaders on both islands of St.kitts and nevis. Suppose to be one island but we have Brantley the Premier on nevis changing laws to suit himself so him and his ministers can not be investigated. So St.kitts got a different law to nevis, and the PM is too scared of Brantley to do anything about it.
Don't forget about the perks that comes with it for the rest of their life.
Blood sugar 😮
I must totally agree with anybody who is disgusted by the number one, president Santhoki. Especially since the economical situation of Suriname is far from flourishing..
Poverty is growing and sustainable growth and balance is not even close.😢😢😢😢😢
Leuk van deze man . Hij lacht zo breed .hij wordt betaald van zijn actie .hij betaald zich zelf .een letter kost ????
Salaries of these leaders are the earned incomes. What is more frightening is their unearned incomes whose source is corruption which is evident in the leadership of these countries . I have no issues with these leaders' salaries but their unearned wealth is enormous and a major contribution to poverty in the Caribbean
Correct you are
Where is your evidence? It is up to nations to put measures in place to promote accountability and transparency. I would not argue that there is absolutely no corruption but truth be told the Caribbean does not have a big reputation for corruption like you seen in most African nations and others.
Well written and well said!!!
Corruption comes from doing business with Europeans who are the most corrupt ass holes on the Planet we share! History speaks for itself!
As a Trinidadian you're 100% correct
The biggest thieves in the Caribbean
😅😅😅😂
Yeah definitely 👍🏾
True story
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Really?
I’m from Trinidad 🇹🇹 and I enjoyed this video, thank you
U should do a video of their Lifestyle regarding their salary...then u will realized something doesn't adds up... especially Jamaican pm
What you know about the Jamaican PM lifestyle? You hear spreading propaganda to those that are ignorant to the fact. You believe the PM should not be living in the mansion he now occupies with his family right? “Bad mind worse than obeah” why not state as well that his wife is also developer before she enter representational politics and being in such a position can cut cost in building that mansion but no, you want to assume that building such mansion could only financed by some corrupt practices. Even tho the man go as far as telling the nation with proof you still come here with some agenda for what? Nothing to benefit you but to tear down your fellow country/skin color. SHAME ON YOU!!
Do a video of their assets. A lot of them hide their assets and don't disclose all as lot of money laundering and business all over and some properties in other people's name.
I think what shows the integrity of leaders is how they treat the poor and invest in their people and try to understand the difficulties of the disadvantaged, making sure that all have fair and just opportunities. I cannot justify the giant chasms between the average person's salaries to their leaders, when some people cannot even get basic services.
While the citizens are suffering 😢 💔 😪 They are only there to enrich themselves
The people of Guyana has no say in the earnings of our leaders, they do what they want
You're complaining? Then watch my country Suriname
...
Can anyone show me where the President raised his salary?
If I'm correct it's when the David Granger administration gained power in 2015 all ministers and the president salary was raised and this was document.
Another thing is how authentic is this report?
Which country people have a say in earning of their leader?
Excellent presentation. I truly enjoyed watching this video. Well done.
I would like to see a video on government income including allowances. The reason being that some leaders in the Caribbean allowances are much more than their salary. Factor rent, entertainment, and more which the country has to pay. This list could change if you factor all the government pays for their leaders including salaries.
The novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell is played out here.
This video is beyond amazing. wealth has no shortcuts but they're ways to go about it.
"If nothing is done on your finance, Income will relatively be unchanged." Wealth is attained through Pro aid, that's why the Rich seek aid of finance Pro(s) to attain wealth but claim to attain it themselves
"Don't lay your eggs in a basket." I attained wealth by varying options with the aid of my finance pro. and so far have attained so-much in my finances.

Salaries in the Caribbean are not a reflection of the trust the citizens of a nation have in their leader. It is more a reflection of what they can grab and do for themselves
Let us remind ourselves that the Leaders in the Caribbean are elected by the citizens of said country. To say that the population does not trust their leader is an interesting stance to take.
@@shawnie01081that's because they advertise one thing, then when elected they do something other than what was promised. Original poster is right, they do for themselves, friends and family while forgetting the nation as a whole. ....politicians go hand in hand with Greed.
Future prisoners, highest thieves, selling our resources to unpredicted buyers with incredible credits and uncredible contracts.
Our countries are goberned by a group of robbers, along their cabinets.
@@nickovdub6131 how are they different from any other politicians anywhere in the world???
@@josweetlove1537 did I ever state anywhere in my paragraph that this only relates to Caribbean leaders??
Thank you for such important information.
Some Guyanese suffering
If you love the people you can drop your salary.The President does not pay bills does not buy gas does not pay rent what is he doing with all that money.Come on I an electrician for 37 plus years and my salary is just over a million a year.God have mercy o these people.God will end this world soon and very man will be held accountable for their action.
THANKS FOR REVEALING THESE IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You stated the amount the leaders get and how much more than the average salary they get. It would be interesting to know how much more × than the minimum wage they earn in their respective countries 🎉
What else is new? Leaders doing well for themselves, families and sometimes their cronies.
Meanwhile, the average citizen is catching hell, as the saying goes.
No fear, God sees all and like the rest of mankind, these leaders will have to give an account of their lives on that day.
Praying for all.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am not surprised that these leaders bless themselves with fat salaries while the people are impoverished because it is the people's tax money. Greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
Van de anderen weet ik niet .maar laten we zien wat van deze man terecht komt .
@@amitajitan6116
Over wie heeft u het?
@amitajitan6116 This leader blind these Suriname people He don't worth that salary no way robbery at it best
@@ajmc5338
I agree 👍🏼💯
Very Informative!
This content is very informative. Continue the good job.
In the end most of the Caribbean leaders are in their positions for personal gain. How can you consider your country in such turmoil and instead of engaging the masses to be better you provide instability for these countries. Caribbean has so much potential but is warded due to selfish interests of leaders as described in this video
Only the Caribbean?
Thanks for the information
Thanks for sharing.
Now except the last two (#1 & #2); these salaries are okay compared to north american salaries as cost of living and taxation are very much higher in the US and Canada. i.e. Canadian taxation is 30% to 40% of gross salaries on avg., prop tax approx $6,000/yr; avg rent = $$3k to $5k ($Cdn) on avg.
Note: Some of the statements made are with prejudice, but economically most of the salaries seems normal to an 'finance' educated person. In Canada (N. America) we have overpaid 'leaders' also. Cdn five Chartered Bank CEO's take home (on avg) $12M Cdn, each and every year
When would you ever spend $12M Cdn ?
Nice information. But it shows a couple things...Leaders of countries that are more financially stable, more developed and have a more even distribution of wealth earn less than those who are less financially stable, not as developed and have a very uneven distribution of wealth. Prime example. Guyana...they are now growing and unfortunately you kinda see whats gonna happen when the real $$ starts to come in.😢
Not only wealth but education, access to electricity, water and internet is noticeably unevenly distributed across the country
@@007mooo6 💯
Great video 👍🏽😊
I am trying to understand what the word "Leaders " mean. Look how the people in these countries suffering and just waiting for the crumbs of the rich ones.😢😮
In the case of Guyana, it was the previous administration (PNC) that voted themselves the President’s salary.
When the PPP won the election that the PNC tried to rig to remain in power, the salary was already set for President Irfan Ali. So what you say is misleading!
This doesn't include all the fortune they make under the table
Great job with this information. I trust that the leaders are listening and becoming conscientious of the ratios between the country's average salaries and theirs. Also, this information reflects the rationale between literacy and political comprehension and the difference between blinded naive political support and genuine loyalty to the polititians who have made positive development to their people and country.
Your reporting has exhibited a level of timely responsibility, transparency and education to masses. Well done. It's fitting to say that in the democracies of our region, the people need to know where they stand in their countries' economy.
😂
He is wrong on the salary of the Guyanese President. He needs to do better research!
They don’t care
Are you serious !!!
{ Iii😅😮😮 Casely886😢 hu 14:46 ⁶j😅n 🎉 in 😮6
I was truly unaware of those figures, and what the leaders fo to daily-rated workers! WOW!
Nicely done
The Jamaican P.M help his self 5 times more than what he says he getting
Nice information .greeting from suriname
Splendid
Leading a nation is not a walk in the park
No but their salaries are too much.
Someone asked what about all the kickback from all n many things they are involved in??
Regarding Andrew Holness. $28 million JMD is the equivalent if $182,161 USD which is a massive 😮. His current $9 million JMD is the equivalent of $58,550 USD
The best leader i ever seen in the time he is just another great leader Jamaican have to be proud of him
Real💯
Haven't heard anything about the male leaders. However, Mia Mottley is no joke. I hope she's paid very well.
How about a listing according to net wealth worth. This should be interesting
Information of their
Information on their wealth
Pleses do a video of their lifestyle especially Guyana with his ministers and Prada Vill which is a project with the pimeministerand friends
All of these leaders need to be voted out of Office especially the leader of Jamaica with their high import taxes and when you ship a box to Jamaica, you never know if the people will get it or not because they allow thieves to take it without repercussion
Thank you for such fulfilling information.
All these courageous leaders are there for a cause.
We stand by their side, and wish them all the guidance and blessings fulfilling of Allah.. God be their protector as they seek to serve their people. ❤
Surinam president earn more than he deserves. he needs to treat his ppl good and country in line. too much. Others work hard. Guyana's president is doing lots more for his p
it's an idea of yours, they are birds of the same feathers.
Thank you yes Guyana president really working hard for his people's
Until Suriname 🇸🇷 people unite nothing good will happens!!!!
Corruption run rampant in Suriname 🇸🇷
It’s a shame, on all fronts.
Those politicians runs on a promise too do good by the
Citizens they choose to serve.
With people in Barbados struggling, it is a shame the prime minister's salary is so high.
It is high coz she got business in the interior in guyana
Dun know👍🏾
I disagree. PM of Barbados does her Job and does it very well. I've seen her address the UN with spirit. She's good,! Check out the videos of her in actions. I'm sure you will agree.
Bet you would take any increase you got because you would believe you deserve that and more.
That’s why the president of Barbados find every opportunity to be on social media spouting her mouth. Fooling bajans into thinking she’s so great. Running her mouth but the world isn’t listening.
Some of them deserve it but some doesn't.
President Abinader does not accept a salary, he donates the salary that is allocated to him from the presidency. his family business also has a clause which prohibits their family companies from doing any type of business with the government, that is to prevent any type corruption. He is the best president in the DR’s modern history.
I have a idea for a video....can you do a video with highest paid salaries for Central Bank Governors of the Caribbean ?? I think that video will do well :) !!!!
Henry George said there are only three classes- workers, beggars and thieves and the cake is shared in that order with workers getting the least.
The Bahamian PM is Minister of finance, he takes what he wants and travels around the world , people have no say, then he have all the perks. Living his best life, but time will be up one day.
Nicee interesting videol
It's intended as a factual video.
It reveals the difference between 3rd world and the big boys.
Salaries in developed countries have risen too high and too fast.
Many technical and professional workers salaries in North America exceed what these leaders make.
However it's relevant to compare salaries to the countries average salaries.
Maybe the countries' GDP per capita may also be a relevant parameter for salary justifications?
Never refer to your country as 3rd World. The third world countries historically are Europe and its bastard offspring America!
I am far more enlightened. Thanks for sharing. For the Jamaican PM, in my opinion, he is deserving of better remuneration. That withstanding, I admire that he has decided to defer his increase in the compensation package. The transformational Leader that he is, he will b adequately rewarded in years to come. I honestly don't feel that they r overpaid; in fact some r grossly underpaid.
It depends on how much they steal. Wink wink
The salaries of some of the leaders seems big but their currency is worthless etc Jamaica.
The more the borrow putting g their country, in depth,the get kickback from the borrowing.. theseppl are here to serve themselves, not the people
I was born in Trinidad and Tobago and also another thing I want to say is Dr King Riley the prime minister of my country has actually been the Prime Ministry when I was born
It's not a salary that defines a leader but the impacts that he imposes to lift and better the lives that matters, I like e.
How much did Skerrit pay to not be on this list?
The guyana president deserves that and more he's a hard working results oriented individual
❤
Does he honestly deserve that salary ?What impact has he made on the Guyanese society? Absolutely none. A teachers' strike is currently on in this country and his salary is times that of a teacher or nurse.But that is only his salary. No mention has been made of the allowances he gets.
And you will know them by the fruits of their labour.
Governor of the US Virgin Islands makes more than all 10 you have mentioned :
$ 150000 US dollars
The Jamaican Prime Minister makes $186,000 US
Their salary is just a drop in the bucket compaired to what they earn from their corrupt dealings.
Greed God will judge the greedy.So many citizens living I proverty and these leaders are enjoying lavish lifestyles.I pray God intervene.
Excellent presentation!
I believe there are some errors with the amounts mentioned for #5
My respect to the jamaican prime minister..wether he personally decided not to accept it or the people protested the raise. He did a respectable thing by declining the increase!
😂
Mia Mottley was never a Premier, she is the 8th Prime Minister since independence in 1966.
Woww
Belize, St. Lucia, Grenada, Cuba were not included. Wow!
ST. VINCENT & GRENADINES WAS INCLUDED AT #3.
@@koosheelaGrenada wasn't mentioned the Grenadines is part of St. Vincent.
Theroux you named are lower than the top ten mentioned.
Nor did the British Overseas Territories
Because he limited it to the 10 highest paid. Wait for the next video "the 13 highest paid. "
Let's do Europe and North America next.
See Suriname is doing a IMF program, where price of everything in a raise. So IMF also ordered a social program for those who are in great lack of money to spend. You will not believe that Santhokie also benefits from this social program.
A salary raise is recently presented in our National essembly where his salary will be updated.
Not only that. The First Lady of Suriname gets a salary too. Which is very unusual.
This is shocking!!! Especially the last one! Shame on them😮
It is so sad to hear of lavish salary of those who never want to give their workers a pay raise or if any very little god bless .
Innovation is my key 🗝️ to being a great leader, because I can create what the people need to better there lives and the economy, I can create the change that the people so need.
Nice video but you missed the PM of Sint Maarten.
Three musketeers of the Caribbean islands
In st.maarten our priminister earn $120.000 annually
The Premier of the Cayman Islands gets US$290,000 PA. Not a country though and a relatively low salary compared to the private sector.
Is this monthly?
U stated that the Jamaican Prime minister raised the government salary to 28 million however he opted tovonly collect 9 mil which was the old salary. However that has yet tocbe verified if he isnt getting thr new salary, so it would be more truthful to calculate at the new salary which would see him getting over 10 times the national average salary
Guyana's president only earns a monthly salary of roughly GUY$600,000 monthly with allowance of course (well he is the president) which would average say a million GUY$ a month which is equiviland to about USD$5000 a monthly.
No he earns almost 2 million a month. The prime minister earns 1.5.
It is amazing to know that many Caribbean leaders salaries is the same as a semi skilled worker and even at the top less than a trade man especially on union or prevailing wages job.
I guess u didn’t think it all the way through huh because you totally forgot about the conversion of currencies,spending power and price of living 🤦♂️
was going to ask where is Mr. Holness but realized he the one who took the picture, lol
That is why rowley does be wining so
Apart from their salary they have other purks
I thought google says Dominica PRIME MINISTER made the most Rosvelt Skerrit
Make a video about Dominica
$28 million Jamaican dollars is equivalent to approximately $200,000 USD
ruclips.net/video/BS0oFS-TI10/видео.htmlsi=O8AFv4ILTeV5FjTN
Like to know how much money t&t pm has in the US Bank.
Is that amount per month?
Why were the other leaders in CARICOM left out?
It was not said. What was the salary of the JAMAICAN ? Less than a $100 us dollars per week x (52 weeks)
What about the Cayman Islands?
What salaries are paid should not be the concern...the extent of corruption and the thievery that accompanies it should be what is brought to attention.
Isn't is peculiar how wealthy all of these individuals are ?!
It’s not just the Caribbean!
