Meet the 22 highest-paid White House staffers, who bring in $183,000 a year or more

For those keeping the White House running smoothly or advising on matters of national security, a healthy pay check is probably expected.

On June 28, the White House released its report of salaries for 2019. Twenty staffers earn the top salary of $183,000 per year — and two actually earn more due to being detailies. In 2017 and 2018, for contrast, the highest-paid staffers made $179,700.

President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner both serve as advisers, but they don't take a salary. Trump earns $400,000 a year, but he has donated his paychecks to various executive branch departments.

Among those earning the most are familiar faces like national security adviser John Bolton, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, and counselor Kellyanne Conway. But some of the staffers aren't household names.

Here's the full list of the White House's highest-paid staffers.
