Stephanie Grisham (Press Secretary) — $183,000
One of the White House staff members with the highest pay is the president’s mouthpiece for the media. Perhaps you hadn’t noticed but it is a really tough gig to be the press secretary. Since Trump took office, there have been four different people who held the position. In 2017, Sean Spicer abruptly resigned. Sarah Huckabee Sanders took over but in 2019, she also abruptly resigned. Stephanie Grisham landed the job in July 2019 but she left less than a year in. The current press secretary is Kayleigh McEnany. In 2016, Josh Earnest made $176,461 under Obama.

Ivanka Trump And Jared Kushner (Advisor To The President And Senior Advisor) — $0
People have praised President Trump for keeping the White House payroll lean. Ivanka Trump (his daughter) holds the official title of advisor to the president and Jared Kushner (her husband) is senior advisor, so they are both in the salary report. However, a nice, round $0 is next to their names since both have opted to forgo their salary for their role. They may be two of the president’s closest advisors but they earn nothing doing this job.
