HOW MUCH DOES THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT MAKE

How much money does President make a year? I dont think its a necessity but I think everyone should know or at least have an idea
President Barack Obama earns a
base salary of $400,000 per year. He is also given a few nice
bonuses like an annual expense account, a travel account and
a $20,000 entertainment stipend. These fringe benefits bring
the President's total salary to just over $550,000 each year.
Has the president always been paid so little (relatively),
considering the weight and responsibility of the job? Well,
some decades are better than others. For example, back in
the late 1700s, when America was young, the president's
annual salary was $25,000. If you adjust $25,000 for
inflation, that figure translates to about $560,000, which is
approximately Obama's salary today including the perks. By
contrast, President Richard Nixon's salary in 1969 was
$200,000, which is a little over $1 million dollars in today
dollars. He may have claimed not to be a crook, but in
presidential salary terms, he was a hustler. Still, that's
nothing compared to President Theodore Roosevelt. The first
Roosevelt earned a salary of $75,000 per year — in modern
bucks, that's $1.7 million dollars. You could buy a lot of
Teddy Bears with that kinda scratch.
Barack Obama net worth
How much does the President make?
Let's compare President Obama's net worth to other living
presidents. Obama has a net worth of $12.2 million dollars.
Former president George H. W. Bush is worth $15 million
and his son George W. Bush is more than twice that amount
at $35 million. However, none of them are in the league of Bill
Clinton, who is worth $80 million dollars! (I bet he's grateful
Hillary never demanded a divorce!). Clinton's former Vice
President's not doing bad either: Al Gore has a net worth of
$300 million ! Gore's Global Warming documentary An
Inconvenient Truth and television network Current TV made Al
a ton of money. Still, if you're adding up the net worth of the
living US presidents vs. the top earning actors who have
played US presidents in movies or TV, the actors will win
hands down. Martin Sheen (West Wing): $50 million. Stephen
Colbert (Monsters vs. Aliens): $45 million. Harrison Ford (Air
Force One): $200 million. If you're in the "presidential game"
purely for salary, I would take a months-long superstar movie
gig over 4 years on the government payroll.
However, we should remember that Barack Obama is
relatively young. He has many years to write more books,
serve on the advisory boards for corporations and accept
lucrative speaking engagements Clinton currently earns
$250,000 per speech! So what do you think? Is the President
underpaid?
