White House salaries: Who makes what?
Some choose to forgo a salary
The White House releases staffers' salaries every year, and while top White House employees are attracted by the prestige, not the pay, plenty of them still make a pretty penny.
Here are the salaries of some of the administration's most recognizable staffers. Some, like advisers Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, do not take a salary.
