Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya

Being the son of Kenya’s founding father Jomo Kenyatta, President Uhuru Kenyatta is used to enjoying the finer things in life. His current annual salary is estimated to be over $132,000. However, the Kenyan President shocked the world in 2014 when he accepted a pay cut that reduced his basic monthly salary from $14,000 to $11,000.

President Kenyatta, who is currently serving his second and final term, assumed office in 2013 and has not been personally linked to corruption. However, his administration has been marred by numerous corruption scandals, some running into millions of dollars.
