Kathmandu. The issue of whether Indian-origin Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will become the President of the United States will be clear after Tuesday. Citizens around the world are eager to see whether America will get its first female president or whether Trump will return to power after four years.
According to tradition, the newly elected president will assume office for the next four years on January 20, 2025. The world is eagerly watching who will become the next President of the United States because the decisions of the US President have a lot of influence on the world stage. The US President is also considered the most powerful person in the world.
In such a situation, it is natural to wonder how much the salary of the US President, who influences the world with his power, will be. The salary of the US President is 6 times higher than that of the average American. The average annual income of an American is $63,795. The top richest people in America earn $788,000 annually. But the salary of the US President is half that of the richest Americans. In this way, the salary of the US President is not even among the richest 1 percent of American citizens.
US President Joe Biden has an annual salary of $440,000. In addition, he receives $50,000 annually for additional presidential expenses. The White House in Washington, DC is the official residence of the US President and he does not have to spend a single dollar to live here.
