Asset list reveals Afghan president earns $525 a month | Reuters

(Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai earns $525 a month, has less than $20,000 in the bank and owns no land or property, according to a declaration of his assets on Sunday by an anti-graft body. - It said Karzai, who is married to a stay-at-home physician and has a young son, had jewellery and other valuables worth $11,036.

Senior current and former Afghan officials -- including two of Karzai's deputies -- are believed to own buildings and assets worth tens of millions of dollars -- at home and abroad.

While some of Afghanistan's richest men are government officials, those behind Afghanistan's billion dollar illicit narcotics trade are probably far wealthier. ..... - Asset list reveals Afghan president earns $525 a month Reuters
