Mick Mulvaney (Acting Chief Of Staff) — $203,500
A whole other stressful job with a large salary is indeed the Chief of Staff to the President. There have been so few White House staff who get over $200,000 annually, and Mick Mulvaney has been one of them. Mulvaney is, like Grisham, the third Chief of Staff, just as Trump had become chairman and assumed power at the beginning of 2019. There had been five different personalities at Obama’s White House, who claimed the position in eight years, alongside Denis McDonough taking home $176,461 throughout 2016.
