Where is the logic?

The salary of the Prime Minister of Singapore is 5 times that of the President of USA. It is 44% more than the combined salaries of the head of state of USA, UK, France and Germany. More glaringly, it is 25 times that of the President of Russia.

The GDP of Singapore is only about 1% of that of USA. Population wise, it is about 2% of that of USA. In terms of land area, Singapore could not be more than 1% of USA (never bother to check).

So, how do you figure out the proportions?
