What White House Jobs Pay
President (Donald Trump) — $400,000
Holding the nation’s highest office comes with some nice financial perks, the most obvious of which is a $400,000 annual salary. Along with that tidy sum, the president also gets a $50,000 expense allowance each year, a $100,000 travel account and $19,000 for entertainment, according to CNBC. Every president since 2001, when George W. Bush took office, has earned this amount.
Like his predecessor, Joe Biden, Vice President Mike Pence makes $230,700 every year. That number has been the same since 2010. Pence was due for a slight raise in 2019 that would’ve given him $243,500 a year but that bump was frozen in light of the government shutdown that was happening at the time. The veep has joked that he’s thrifty, despite his respectable paycheck, saying he buys his suits two for one.
Trump’s Golf Trips Could Cost Taxpayers Over $340 Million
So far Trump’s golf trips have cost at least $105 million

Trump’s Golf Trips Could Cost Taxpayers Over $340 Million
So far Trump’s golf trips have cost at least $105 million
Trump’s trips to his golf courses are very expensive and much more than Obama’s since Trump’s have been more frequent and usually requires Air Force One and all the accompanying security arraignments
The GAO report estimated that just four of Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago cost:
- $13.6 million
- Do not “capture all of the total expenditures by the government”
- Do not “include certain classified cost information”
- $60,000 in expenses paid to Mar-a-Lago (there have been 24 so far)
- Were not able to identify meals and incidental expenses, if any, that may have been incurred at the Mar-a-Lago club
