Sheikh Hasina's decades-long reign chaotically came to an end when the former Bangladesh PM quit and fled the South Asian country on August 5. This was the result of a rambunctious series of protests that erupted and engulfed the Hasina-led regime. The protests that resulted in the deaths of hundreds emerged from a demand for the removal of the reservation policy that assisted and favoured the ruling party of families of freedom fighters.

Primarily, we look at the official remuneration that Hasina received while occupying the top job of the country. Like India, although the country has a president, the position is only ceremonial in nature, and real powers lie with the PM. Hasina, as PM, had the privilege of attaining a monthly salary of USD 1,352 or Rs 1,13,453.
Annually, she was entitled to the amount of USD 16,220 or Rs 13,61,101 according to current exchange rates. According to her pre-election affidavit filing, her total wealth stood at around Rs 4.36 crore.
