New Zealand’s new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

New Zealand’s new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's wages are nearly as impressive as her rise to the top.

She's set to earn just over $470,000 per year.

That's a big jump compared to what the Hamilton‑born 37‑year‑old earned as an MP in 2016 ‑ about $160,000 per year.

United States President Donald Trump earns slightly more than Ardern, raking in NZ$577,000 per year as commander in chief.

But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wages are considerably less than his Kiwi counterpart ‑ reportedly earning NZ$392,212.

But don't feel too sorry for him. The son of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau reportedly has a net worth of NZ$11.3 million.

Across the ditch, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is reportedly paid NZ$589,903.
