What are the highest paying jobs in the world?

It's difficult to compile a list of the highest worldwide salaries, but here's a start: The highest paid CEO's in the U.S. http://www.forbes.com/lists/2012/12/ceo-compensation-12_rank.html

Antony, the highest paying jobs in the USA and in other developed countries are company CEOs. Some, such as the marvellous Google are modestly paid. For many more, especially in Banking and Finance, the pay is super absurd.   For the 'Fortune 500' companies in the USA last year average annual pay for the 500 CEOs was $10,500,000. So you have 500 chances of topping $10 million if you get into the CEO business.   Best wishes.

Statistics from Labor Bureaus only show taxed jobs.  Traditionally non-taxed criminal activity will far exceed taxed jobs.  The top three, hooker, dealer and dictator. A US anesthesiologist can expect to earn about $250,000 before taxes but after taxes, in most states, will take home less than $150,000. A top end Las Vegas escort can charge as much as $5000 a night and take home more than $250,000 even after paying her agency fees. This still pales in comparison to mob bosses and drug lords.  Here on quora you can read about relatively low level drug dealers making $20,000 on a single night.  http://www.businessinsider.com/i-went-to-law-school-and-became-a-drug-dealer-2013-7 A mid level meth dealer can take home $816,000 tax free http://nymag.com/news/features/2007/profit/32888/ The top ten drug lords of all time had net worths from 1 Billion to 30 Billion dollars.  http://www.celebritynetworth.com/articles/entertainment-articles/20-richest-drug-dealers-time/ But if you really want to earn some bucks, move to Africa and kill those in your way until you are a dictator.  http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0912/8-of-the-richest-dictators-in-history.aspx 75 to 80 Billion for Gaddafi, not to shabby and he didn't have to sleep with sweaty rock stars, unless he wanted to, of course.

The only reliable source for this information is the Bureau of Labor Statistics which shows that Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is the highest paying occupation [1]. These surgeons have dual degrees (DDS and MD) and do complex head/neck surgeries that often have dentofacial relevance and are able to communicate with dentists and/or physicians who manage post-op care of cases.

Hedge fund managers. It is not even close. The only people who make more are those who   hold huge investments. But when it comes to getting paid for your job, there is no other way to get paid a billion dollars a year. See "http://www.businessinsider.com/best-paid-hedge-fund-managers-in-2012-2013-4?op=1".

On a per hour basis, it's hard to beat members of corporate boards of directors.  Board members of large (Fortune 500) companies typically can be paid up to around $250k, and their only real obligation is to show up for the annual meeting.  It works out to something like up to $100k per hour.  For perspective, if the CEO is getting $10 million per year, he's "only" making about $5000 per hour.  The board members are doing much better.
