The White House and Salaries That Will Shock You!
Have you ever wondered how much people working in the White House actually earn? It’s not just the president with his $400,000 annual salary (plus perks for expenses, travel, and entertainment). The real shock comes when you see what the other employees make – from secretaries to national security advisors.
Salaries from $59,000 to $225,700 – Who’s on Top?
According to the latest report from Donald Trump’s administration, White House salaries range from a modest $59,000 to a staggering $225,700 per year. For example, White House Press Secretary Karoline Livit earns just under $100,000, while the highest-paid employee, Senior Advisor Jacqueline Clop, pulls in $225,700.
National Security Advisor Steven Miller makes about $179,700, the same as 32 other White House employees. Trump’s speechwriters earn between $92,000 and $130,000, which might sound like a dream for many, but compared to some other government roles, it’s not the highest.
Some White House Employees Don’t Get Paid at All!
Yes, you read that right! Eight White House employees receive no salary. Why? Because they hold other roles in the U.S. administration or get paid from other sources. For example, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff don’t get paid by the White House but by the State Department.
President Trump and His Salary – Donation or PR Stunt?
Donald Trump receives a base salary of $400,000 per year, plus $50,000 for expenses, $19,000 for travel, and $1,000 for entertainment. But he is known for donating his salary to government agencies during his first term and promised to do the same during his second. Noble or just good PR? You decide.
Why Should We Care?
Because while ordinary people work for wages that barely cover living costs, millions are moving around in the White House. Although salaries are public, few know the details. This report reveals the true value of positions in the world’s most powerful administration.
Is this a true reflection of value or just another example of a political elite living in another world?
