Rickie Niceta (Social Secretary) — $168,000
The Washington Post labeled the position of the Secretary of State “the least contentious” full-time position in the White House. The job is to ensure and conduct almost all social activities hosted by the White House. First Lady Melania Trump ended up going to the position of Social Secretary with Anna “Rickie” Niceta due to her two decades of event management expertise. Niceta is compensated $168,000 annually, whereas Deesha Dyer did make $119,723 from Obama Administration in 2016.
