Did you know that jobs in politics, even at the highest level, are not really the most lucrative? However, they will surely keep you comfortable. The American taxpayers cover the paychecks of all their elected officials, so the salaries of these officials are all public record. Let us take a look at the salary information of President Trump’s White House staff and see how much those jobs pay. We have also made some comparisons with how much the same positions were worth in the last year that Obama was still president. The salary information is accurate as of June 2019.
White House Jobs And Their Corresponding Paychecks
Donald Trump (President) — $400,000
Naturally, holding the highest office in the country comes with pretty nice financial perks, such as the $400,000 annual salary. According to CNBC, the president receives a $100,000 travel account, a yearly expense allowance of $50,000, and $19,000 for entertainment as well. When George W. Bush served as president starting in 2001, he earned this amount, and all of the presidents that came after him have been paid the same amount.
