Lee Hsien Loong

Net worth: $106.2M
Country: Singapore
Position: Prime Minister
Singapore’s Prime Minister also happens to be one of the richest politicians of all time. Lee Hsien Loong, the third (and current) leader of Singapore, was originally a military man in his youth. He received training and education in the United States before being an officer in Singapore’s army. From there he began a very successful career in politics.
Loong’s father was the first Prime Minister of Singapore, meaning he was born into affluence to begin with. But he became even richer than his father through heading the Monetary Authority of Singapore for many years. He also has experience as a software engineer, and apparently designs computer programs in his spare time.
