Al-Alimi came in the widely circulated list, second in the world, with a salary of “one million six hundred thousand dollars,” after the Singaporean president, who ranked first in the world with a salary of “one million six hundred thousand dollars.”
According to the list, “the difference between Al-Alimi and the Singaporean president is the difference in per capita GDP, in Singapore; it reached $86,000, compared to $350 in Yemen.
