According to a report, Manmohan earns only 57 paise per minute, while Sachin earns Rs 1,163 per minute.

The report says that President APJ Abdul Kalam earns Rs 1.14 per minute, which is almost 1,000 times less than what Tendulkar earns. However, this is better than what Manmohan takes home.

While the Prime Minister earns Rs 3,60,000 a year, the President earns Rs 6,00,000 per annum.

A list of top earners compared by the report shows industrialist and Reliance Group Chairman Mukesh Ambani earning Rs 413 per minute. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan earning Rs 361 per minute, three times less than Tendulkar followed by Shahrukh 'King' Khan who earns Rs 247 per minute.

Sachin has signed a Rs 180 crores per annul deal with an ad agency. He also receives Rs 2,35,000 for a Test and Rs 2,50,000 for a one-day match. So, in total he receives Rs 61.15 crores, which comes to Rs 1,163 per minute.
