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
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.
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.😢😢😢😢😢
I wish Prime Minister Mia Motley were the highest paid political leader in the Caribbean region because she's a superb communicator on the International stage, especially in regard to climate change, and gun control. She talks about global dilemmas confronting us today and possibly solutions in the rehabilitation process. Furthermore, Prime Minister Motley is a world class political leader because whenever she speaks about global issues confronting us in the Most Develop Countries, the world pays attention.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
Excellent observation that can be appointed to most on this list.I don't know enough on others, but I am from Jam, and I honestly can't say Andrew Holness has improved the lives of his citizens generally. This comment equally applies to both parties. They are hopeless.
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 🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
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 🎉
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.
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.😢
A good point, but we always have hope that other nations who suddenly find their GDP/Per Capita improved, will learn from the mistakes of countries who squandered or had their resources tricked out of their hands by large multinationals, to ensure the new discovery benefits it's citizens instead.
@@antonyanderson_5921 that is very true. My cousin worked at Schulberger Trinidad for a while before being posted to diff places throughout his career. One thing observed with oil nations, their governments always start with the best of intentions with words, but realistically there is ALWAYS corruption. He did say however that you see a very good standard of living amongst most of the people in Trinidad, but they are like spoilt kids. A Nigerian professor i know worked at one of the university there and he did say one of their problems is the gov't gives way too much...they need to control things...free university/half paid by gov't, their policy is they must also provide free health care to ppl in their region & primary education as well. They need to curb some of those things, that had got to hit your accounts. But there is little accountability where corruption is concerned especially in gov't run institutions.
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?
President Ali never raised his salary. In Guyana salaries were raised when President Granger attained power in 2015. That said, President Ali at US$100k annually if correct, is vastly underpaid.
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
Thanks for sharing this information 🙏🙏🙏 I' from suriname my president whit the highest salary and suriname in this bad situation of economic chan not lucky thanks
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?
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. ❤
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!
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
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
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 :) !!!!
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.
Informative, the greed will not end they have no conscious,and they don't love there country. There countries security is not there concerned. the great equalizer will level the playing field.
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
I am quite proud to be a Trinidadian. Thank you for this information. Our Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley should have been the Highest Paid in The Caribbean islands. Trinidad 🇹🇹 Tobago 🇹🇹 have earn The Respect in The Caribbean as “The GOD FATHER OF THE CARIBBEAN.” We always produce Excellent Leaders with High Quality Statesmanship which can compare to Top 1:37 Leading Countries of The World 🌎 GOD BLESS OUR NATION🙌🇹🇹🙌🇹🇹🌺🌸 🥁 🏝 🎡♥️✝️
In Guyana and Suriname the people are sufferiing while their leaders are earning extra large salaries and living like Kings, can't the rest of the world help these citizens in these countries
Some people here are being ridiculous. Some of you are complaining because these people are getting more than the average citizen. Leading an entire nation is not an easy job. In fact, it's the most stressful job ever if done right. I do have a problem when the disparity is over 20 times more and so on nonetheless, especially for struggling countries. But, they do deserve a higher salary than the average person. How much higher is the question though, taking the GDP into consideration. And in comparison to some other professions, these salaries are nothing. Yes, there is corruption, but that's a totally different topic. Even your boss gets 5 times more pay than you do, yet you are upset that your Prime Minister or President is getting $1 more than you 😂
Are you really that dull? The complaints are because these so called leaders, are hardly doing anything good for their country. I can't speak for the other countries, but I'll speak for my own, which is Suriname. According to this list Surinames president is paid the most. But he has hardly done anything good for this country. I'll admit we are in a deep financial crisis, but he's only made it worse in the 3 years that he's been in power. I won't go further into details. You compared it to having a boss that earns more than you. If you're working at a company with horrible management would you still work there? Or would you leave and go to a better company. I agree with you saying that running a country is hard work. But as far as I can tell, our president isn't putting in half the work he should!
Some of them not leading nothing. Crime n violence out of control,corruption n poverty out of control n r experiencing high level of brain drain because they not paying professionals properly.
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.
Well, the Jamaican opposition leader Mark Golding should have donated his whole salary to his constituency. He bragged about how much he made already and he's not into politics to scrape but that's further than the truth. Because it was very beneficial with the Finsac and financial meltdown that Jamaican suffered under the PNP administration of former Prime Minister PJ Patterson.
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.
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
You don't compare leaders in salary to CEOs Salaries. it's compared to the average citizens . I believe they are greedy and undeserving of this amount. Plus retirement salary. Shouldn't be allowed . They have earned more than Enough stealing from the poor people.
You guys are sounding very bitter. Leading a country isn't an easy task! Forget about the corruption for now, which sadly happens at every level, leading an entire nation is hard work. And what do you mean by nobody asked them to serve? Voting for someone is asking them to serve. What we need to do is to make our leaders more accountable. However, the job of itself is hard work. How honest they are in doing it is a totally different topic.
@@1kittsCitizens have the right to be bitter. No one should have blind allegiance to these leaders. They mislead more than how they lead. Take Jamaica for example, the people there have witnessed how garrison politics eventually led to the alarming crime stats there. Their leaders implemented garrison politics soon after gaining Independence and sanction it to this day.
So we are talking salaries from a low of 55000 USD to as high as 134000 USD. That salary range is quiet reasonable and matches those of professionals in the United States and Canada. Moreover, President Joe Biden makes as much as 400,000 USD annually which is between 8 and 4 times that of a Caribbean President while he is asleep about half of the time. Thank you very much and enjoy your afternoon ☺️☺️
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.
You are speaking of Dr. Andrew Michael Holness, the Jamaican Prime Minister. ❤❤😂😂 He's doing a wonderful job with the Jamaican economy, and unemployment is now at a historical low of 3.6%.
The GOLDEN CALF at work. OUR RIGHTEOUS FATHER OUR CREATOR OUR KING WE LOVE YOU WITH PASSION AND WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER. MATTHEW 22:40 ABBAYAHUAH LOVINGKINDNESS JUDGMENT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IS IN THE EARTH. JEREMIAH 9:24. THANK YOU.
The Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Hollness declined the salary of $28,000,000 Jamaican annually because the majority of the Jamaican citizens objected to him being paid this exorbitant salary. He said he would decline the new salary temporarily so it is wise to assume that he will accept it soon, this would make him the highest paid Caribbean leader and bare in mind that he sets the salary scale so he gave himself a 290% raise ruclips.net/video/BS0oFS-TI10/видео.htmlsi=O8AFv4ILTeV5FjTN
Twenty eight million could finance a black owned international air port for the people to enjoy! Or eradicate poverty there. The people of Jamaica did well to discourage one man from receiving that if it wasn't to benefit all.
Bare in mind , that the civil servants are asking for a 2% raise but their request has been denied . When the Jamaican Prime Minister resigns , he will receive this salary of 28 million dollars annually until the day he dies and then his wife will receive this 28million benefit depending on who passes away first.@@Sunset0071951
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.
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.
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 ?!
Guyanese President deserve much more because of the excellent job he is doing,look at the development and overall progress taking place under his leadership.
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

I am from Trinidad living in Glasgow i enjoyed the video. I am amazed by the salaries of these leaders but are they serving their country well???
How much did Skerrit pay to not be on this list?
Is this monthly?
It was not said. What was the salary of the JAMAICAN ? Less than a $100 us dollars per week x (52 weeks)
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.
Informative, the greed will not end they have no conscious,and they don't love there country. There countries security is not there concerned. the great equalizer will level the playing field.
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
King Riley is not the prime minister of trinidad. You must be from bagdad.
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
Let's do Europe and North America next.
Some of them deserve it but some doesn't.
I am quite proud to be a Trinidadian. Thank you for this information. Our Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley should have been the Highest Paid in The Caribbean islands. Trinidad 🇹🇹 Tobago 🇹🇹 have earn The Respect in The Caribbean as “The GOD FATHER OF THE CARIBBEAN.” We always produce Excellent Leaders with High Quality Statesmanship which can compare to Top 1:37 Leading Countries of The World 🌎 GOD BLESS OUR NATION🙌🇹🇹🙌🇹🇹🌺🌸 🥁 🏝 🎡♥️✝️
In Guyana and Suriname the people are sufferiing while their leaders are earning extra large salaries and living like Kings, can't the rest of the world help these citizens in these countries
The salaries of some of the leaders seems big but their currency is worthless etc Jamaica.
Some people here are being ridiculous. Some of you are complaining because these people are getting more than the average citizen. Leading an entire nation is not an easy job. In fact, it's the most stressful job ever if done right. I do have a problem when the disparity is over 20 times more and so on nonetheless, especially for struggling countries. But, they do deserve a higher salary than the average person. How much higher is the question though, taking the GDP into consideration. And in comparison to some other professions, these salaries are nothing. Yes, there is corruption, but that's a totally different topic. Even your boss gets 5 times more pay than you do, yet you are upset that your Prime Minister or President is getting $1 more than you 😂
Are you really that dull?
The complaints are because these so called leaders, are hardly doing anything good for their country. I can't speak for the other countries, but I'll speak for my own, which is Suriname. According to this list Surinames president is paid the most. But he has hardly done anything good for this country. I'll admit we are in a deep financial crisis, but he's only made it worse in the 3 years that he's been in power. I won't go further into details.
You compared it to having a boss that earns more than you. If you're working at a company with horrible management would you still work there? Or would you leave and go to a better company.
I agree with you saying that running a country is hard work. But as far as I can tell, our president isn't putting in half the work he should!
@@Zechariah340 No. 1, you started off with an attack.... No. 2, you totally missed the point. No. 3, have yourself a wonderful day 😉
Some of them not leading nothing. Crime n violence out of control,corruption n poverty out of control n r experiencing high level of brain drain because they not paying professionals properly.
A straight bad mind😂😂😂.

I worked for 38 yrs in chicago and earned 70 thousand dollars a year upon retirement.
And you will know them by the fruits of their labour.
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.
Well, the Jamaican opposition leader Mark Golding should have donated his whole salary to his constituency. He bragged about how much he made already and he's not into politics to scrape but that's further than the truth. Because it was very beneficial with the Finsac and financial meltdown that Jamaican suffered under the PNP administration of former Prime Minister PJ Patterson.
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.
No wonder 🤔 he, and the Jamaican opposition leader Mark Golding, a British citizen, is a closed friend
@whodunit3949 you right. They both needs to get packing, go and stay gone.
Nicee interesting videol
Mia Mottley was never a Premier, she is the 8th Prime Minister since independence in 1966.
Why were the other leaders in CARICOM left out?
It depends on how much they steal. Wink wink
The day the dollar died, seek God Emanuel first, light and my salvation him for us who can be against us in him all things are possible 🇪🇹 👑.
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
You don't compare leaders in salary to CEOs Salaries. it's compared to the average citizens . I believe they are greedy and undeserving of this amount. Plus retirement salary. Shouldn't be allowed . They have earned more than Enough stealing from the poor people.
And to think they offered to serve, nobody asked them to leave their respective careers .
You guys are sounding very bitter. Leading a country isn't an easy task! Forget about the corruption for now, which sadly happens at every level, leading an entire nation is hard work. And what do you mean by nobody asked them to serve? Voting for someone is asking them to serve. What we need to do is to make our leaders more accountable. However, the job of itself is hard work. How honest they are in doing it is a totally different topic.
So true...and most of them pocketing the funds they are getting from the big country's 😢
@@1kittsCitizens have the right to be bitter. No one should have blind allegiance to these leaders. They mislead more than how they lead.
Take Jamaica for example, the people there have witnessed how garrison politics eventually led to the alarming crime stats there. Their leaders implemented garrison politics soon after gaining Independence and sanction it to this day.
So we are talking salaries from a low of 55000 USD to as high as 134000 USD. That salary range is quiet reasonable and matches those of professionals in the United States and Canada. Moreover, President Joe Biden makes as much as 400,000 USD annually which is between 8 and 4 times that of a Caribbean President while he is asleep about half of the time. Thank you very much and enjoy your afternoon ☺️☺️
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.
Is that amount per month?
The best leader i ever seen in the time he is just another great leader Jamaican have to be proud of him
You are speaking of Dr. Andrew Michael Holness, the Jamaican Prime Minister. ❤❤😂😂 He's doing a wonderful job with the Jamaican economy, and unemployment is now at a historical low of 3.6%.

THANK YOU.
The Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Hollness declined the salary of $28,000,000 Jamaican annually because the majority of the Jamaican citizens objected to him being paid this exorbitant salary. He said he would decline the new salary temporarily so it is wise to assume that he will accept it soon, this would make him the highest paid Caribbean leader and bare in mind that he sets the salary scale so he gave himself a 290% raise ruclips.net/video/BS0oFS-TI10/видео.htmlsi=O8AFv4ILTeV5FjTN
I think you have a good pm. I wish our pm would listfn to tis people but he dosnt. God blesd your pm and your country.
Twenty eight million could finance a black owned international air port for the people to enjoy! Or eradicate poverty there. The people of Jamaica did well to discourage one man from receiving that if it wasn't to benefit all.
Bare in mind , that the civil servants are asking for a 2% raise but their request has been denied . When the Jamaican Prime Minister resigns , he will receive this salary of 28 million dollars annually until the day he dies and then his wife will receive this 28million benefit depending on who passes away first.@@Sunset0071951
How comes I am not seeing Jamaica's current opposition leader & past prime ministers listed here

The average Guyanese does not work for 250,000 a month, the minimum wage for working class is 80,000 to to 150,000 which is 400 to $700 usd a month
In Guyana all the information is secret from the Government of
So, we are not quantifying the other benefits that are part of the remuneration, not to mention those that are under the table?
This report doesn’t include all Caribbean leaders - some of the BoT Caribbean Leaders earn substantially more than listed here.
Exactly the BOT's leaders should have been in the research .
In st.maarten our priminister earn $120.000 annually
This is shocking!!! Especially the last one! Shame on them😮
12:00 Networth of *over 76 MILLION US dollars* , what do you mean by possibly??? 🤭🤭🤭 who else is even coming close??
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.
Time to vote all of them out
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 ?!
Guyanese President deserve much more because of the excellent job he is doing,look at the development and overall progress taking place under his leadership.
He is already a millionaire he doesn't even need his salary.
