Beji Caid Essebsi
He is Tunisia’s first democratically elected President, having won the election in December 2014. His salary is $16,400 USD per year though he is said to be living a comfortable life due to his family’s ties to the aristocracy and monarchy that was deposed 60 years ago.
His administration in 2016 made some cuts in the salaries of ministers but the country is still hoping to make further improvements in the economy. Though he has vowed to be president of all Tunisian men and women without exclusion, some believe he is attempting to build a family dynasty with his son who has often clashed with the prime minister, Beji Caid Essebsi over political and economic reforms.
