Stephanie Grisham (Press Secretary) — $183,000
Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s mouthpiece for the press, is among the highest-paid White House staffer. In case you haven’t noticed, being press secretary is a really tough gig. In fact, she is already the third press secretary since Trump became president in 2017. In the same year Trump took office, Sean Spicer abruptly resigned and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his replacement, abruptly resigned in 2019, which paved the way for Grisham. Josh Earnest, Obama’s Press Secretary, made $176,461 in 2016.

Ivanka Trump And Jared Kushner (Advisor To The President And Senior Advisor) — $0
President Trump has received praise for his lean White House payroll and that extends to a couple of his closest advisors. Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter, and Jared Kushner, her husband, have the official titles advisor to the president and senior advisor, respectively. While their names can be found in the White House salary report, there is a nice and round $0 next to them, since they both have chosen not to accept a paycheck for their position.
