Mike Pence (Vice President) — $230,700
Since 2010, the annual salary of the vice president of the U.S. has been $230,700. In 2019, there were talks about giving Mike Pence a slight raise. That would’ve given him $243,500 annually. However, that bump was frozen due to the government shutdown which was happening during that time. Joking about the freeze, the veep said that he’s thrifty and that he goes for buy one get one suits. Nevertheless, his paycheck is still respectable.
Mick Mulvaney (Acting Chief Of Staff) — $203,500
It is not easy being the president’s chief of staff but the job does come with a generous salary. When Mick Mulvaney still held the position, he was one of the few White House employees who made more than $200,000 a year. Starting his White House job in the early part of 2019, he was the third person to serve as chief of staff since President Trump took office. During Obama’s eight years as president, he had five people in the role. Denis McDonough was one of them and he earned $176,461 in 2016.
