Nearly half of the Trump administration’s White House staff will earn in excess of $100,000 per year, according to new salary details released last Friday.
While some staff work pro bono, such as ‘First Daughter’ Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, 22 of Trump’s aides, including some with a net worth in the tens of millions of dollars, earn $179,000 per annum.
These include press secretary Sean Spicer, worth $4.5 million; chief of staff Reince Priebus, worth $8 million; senior counselor Kellyanne Conway, who disclosed assets worth up to $39.3 million; and chief strategist Steve Bannon, who sits atop a fortune worth between $9.5 and $48 million.
This comes as no surprise, as a substantial portion of Congress are also millionaires, but it only reflects that the American government is out of touch with the people it rules.
