Someone has written to the local paper pointing out that this is more than the Vice-President of the US.
Intrigued, I did a few other comparisons. Mr Bull's salary is:
£100,718 more than the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court
£152,949 more than the President of Russia
£69,598 more than the Secretary General of the United Nations
£34,885 more than the Chancellor of Germany
£102,969 more than the Chairman of the US Federal Reserve
£202,248 more than the President of India
