To use USA State benefits for high office as consolation for Singapore's Government Highest Pay in the world does not make sense at all.
Book deals depends on demand and supply. Not all USA Presidents got fantastic book deals by default. But key difference is book deals still need to be won and earn by USA Presidents. Singapore Ministers rather get highest salaries then do book deals for the equivalent money.

Wrong!!!
All ex US presidents n immediate family got secret service detail even after leaving office
And US presidents influence is world wide.
Given the new economy, DEFINITELY there's a demand to hear their inside story.
Unlike in the past where book deals aren't common or in 8 figures, in this new world, DEFINITELY all ex us presidents will rake millions from all kinds of deals even if not book deals. Sit on board, already can make millions liao. Some big China company can pay Clinton or barry millions just to attend their product launch. That's part n parcel of being a well known figure thanks to being ex us president.
In this new economy, even if you're not paid millions in salary, if you got exposure to millions on social media, it's good enough for u to make alot of money. What more if your name is known to billions cos u were ex us president
Not only us presidents but most western leaders or famous ones set for life EXCEPT for those hermit kind who after being president or leaders decide to have zero contact n don't want to make any money.
