Stephanie Grisham (Press Secretary) — $183,000
Trump’s mouthpiece for the press, Stephanie Grisham is among the highest-paid staff member at the White House. You might not have noticed, but being a press secretary is an extremely tough gig. She is the third press secretary since 2017 when Trump took office. In the same year that the Trump administration started, Sean Spicer abruptly resigned. Then, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his replacement, also abruptly resigned in 2019. In 2016, Josh Earnest, Obama’s Press Secretary, got paid $176,461.
Ivanka Trump And Jared Kushner (Advisor To The President And Senior Advisor) — $0
President Trump has gotten praise for maintaining his White House payroll lean, which extends to a pair of his closest advisors. His daughter Ivanka Trump serves as an advisor to the president and her husband, Jared Kushner, holds the title senior advisor. Their names are included in the White House salary report, though there is a nice $0 next to them, as they both have opted not to accept payment for their position.
