So what does it pay to work for President Donald Trump?
The latest list of White House employees and their salaries has 412 people, including the names you see every day at press conferences and other high-profile events, including disputes with Democrats.
Then there are members of Trump’s cabinet, who do not work outside the White House, but take their orders from the President.
Members of Trump’s cabinet and his top White House advisers earn more than members of Congress, who are paid $ 174,000 a year.
Since 1995, Congress has required the White House to report annually the names, titles, and salaries of those who work for the President. Here’s a taste of how much some of them earn, as well as some of Trump’s cabinet officials and the president himself:
