How much money does Nepali king earn?


Dear Nepali citizens and foreign lovers of Nepal,
You might be wondering why Nepal is still poor when its countries of
equal economic status has reached the sky with booming economic
development.
Let me try to answer ?this is one of the reason, I have recently found.

Nepal is one of the poorest counries of the world but Nepal's king is
the highest paid king of the world.

The income of Nepali king Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev is :
2,426 times higher than that of Chinese president
318 times higher than that of Indian president
301 times higher than that of Pakistani president
173 times higher than that of Russian president
57 times higher than that of French president
15 times higher than that of British PM
10 times higher than that of
American president

Netherlands queen's income : Rs. 22,32,00,000??(per capita income Rs 17,25,120 )
American president earns Rs. 3,24,00,000 (1,15,20,000 returns in tax),
(per capita income Rs 25,24,320)
Japanese king earns Rs. 22,23,52,000 (per capita income Rs.24,15,600)
Chinese president earns Rs. 1,35,000 (per capita income Rs 67,680)
Indian president earns Rs. 10,11,000 (per capita income Rs 34,560)
French president earns Rs 57,96,000 (per capita income Rs 15,84,000)
Pakistani president earns (after the coup) Rs 10,94,000 (per capita
income 29,520)
British Queen does not get any salary from the state. She has a
property of Rs 30,24,00,00,000 (the profit of investiment, after
paying the tax, is hers) but even her neckless is the property of the
country.
British prime minister?earns Rs 2,19,58,000 (per
capita income is Rs 18,16,200)
Russian president earns Rs 19,03,000 (per capita income is Rs 1,54,000)
Belgean king receives salary as a civil servant (per capita income is
Rs 16,74,000)
And,
Nepali king earns Rs 61,91,00,000 (per capita income is Rs 16,560=US$ 230)
[This means the Nepali king earns Rs. 19,878 times higher than a
citizen. Last year it was 37,385 times higher. Thus a citizen can earn
as much as the king earns in a year only after working for 19,000
years or in 316 lives. Ho la!]

Appendix
Nepali royal family is involved in various business.
A king does not have to pay tax according to Nepal's constitution.
The present king has inherited the property of earlier king's family
and nobody knows how much it is.
This king has taken Rs 1,06,45,00,000 in past three years for his small family


Courtsey:?Mulyankan Monthly (Nov-Dec 2005)
US dollar 1 = Rs 72
Nepal has a writing system of giving comma after two digits except the last.

i don't care how much he makes anymore

all i care is nothing is being done for the dvelopment of the country and quality of life of the people

Birbhadra, aren't you a double personality? at one point, you don't care how much the king earns or possesses but at other point you do care that nothing is being done for the dvelopment of the country and quality of life of the people....you shut up your eyes with royal ribbon and march out in a candle light rally?

ok. he does make a lot. so how can we get some into our pocket, NO?

He thinks he owns Nepal, forget about how much money he makes....

Birbhadra,
How can anything be done and invested in the development of the country like Nepal when the King and his family are the priority and not the poor hungry farmer who works his ass off to earn the food for his family. These income/salary are just the "Hattiko dekhaune daat", not to mention all the tremendous amount of illegal wealth the so called "Royals" earn from other means. Also, point to remember is the article published few months back that the interpol found a huge source of drug dealing from Nepal. God knows who is in the power to do so!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couple other things to remember, DB Lama and Bharat Gurung case.... hmmmm, Lots of Murti cases......... Don't know what to mention and what not to. I sometimes feel ashamed that the country is ruled by such a devil and some of us are still supporting him.

some of them who are supporting them just because they are part of the corruption and drug deals...it is obvious.
