PM Anwar Ibrahim is ranked 17th on the list of 18 of the world’s richest leaders, with assets allegedly worth USD2.4 million (approximately RM11 million), based on a released financial report.
Anwar declared his assets, comprising a house and 3 pieces of land in November 2022, hoping to force opposition candidates to do the same ahead of the election.
Malaysia’s prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, has clamped down on government spending and even refused to use a Mercedes Benz limousine purchased by one of his predecessors, who’s currently in prison on corruption charges. During his election campaign, he pledged not to take the prime minister’s salary of about $5,000 (£3.9k) per month, highlighting that Malaysia’s minimum wage was only $325 (£251) per month.
But there’s still plenty of money for him to draw on elsewhere. Anwar declared $2.4 million (£1.9m) in assets in November 2022, hoping to force opposition candidates to do the same in the run-up to the elections. Cash and investments accounted for nearly $180,000 (£139k) of Anwar’s assets, with the majority, $2.2m (£1.7m), comprising a house and three pieces of land.
