Hannah Zakaria (West Wing Receptionist) — $48,800
Searching through the 2019 White House payroll report, you would find 60 staffers who earned less than $50,000 per year. One of them was Hannah Zakaria, the West Wing’s receptionist, which is an unenviable position if you ask us. She started out as an intern in September 2018. About three months later, she landed her current job. Leah Katz-Hernandez was Obama’s West Wing receptionist in 2016. She was paid $48,000.

Kellyanne Conway (Assistant To The President And Senior Counselor) — $183,000
There were other White House staffers who served as assistant to the president. However, only Kellyanne Conway was also the senior counselor. She had been with Trump ever since the beginning of his campaign and she was rewarded for her effort. Her annual salary was $183,000. In Obama’s White House, nobody was listed as senior counselor. However, Trump clearly values Conway’s role as her pay is one of the highest among the members of his staff.
