Stephanie Grisham (Press Secretary) — $183,000
One of the White House staff members with the highest pay, Stephanie Grisham, or Trump’s mouthpiece for the press, actually has quite a tough job in case you had not noticed. She is the third press secretary since Trump’s term started in 2017. After Sean Spicer’s abrupt resignation in 2017, Sarah Huckabee Sanders took over the position, and then she abruptly resigned two years later, which led to Grisham’s appointment. Josh Earnest was Obama’s Press Secretary and he earned $176,461 in 2016.

Ivanka Trump And Jared Kushner (Advisor To The President And Senior Advisor) — $0
There has been praise for Trump’s lean White House payroll. Even though two of the president’s closest advisors, Ivanka Trump (his daughter and advisor to the president) and Jared Kushner (Ivanka’s husband and the president’s senior advisor), have official titles and are both listed in the salary report of the White House, there is a $0 next to their names. The two have opted to forgo a salary for their role.
