Kapanlagi.com - Donald Trump officially confirmed himself as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025. This inauguration is not just a ceremony, but a new chapter in US political history, where a former president steps back into the White House after his term ended in 2021.
As President, Trump will not only enjoy a tempting base salary but also various facilities that support his duties. Since 2001, the annual salary for a US President has been set at USD 400,000, equivalent to Rp6.5 billion per year. However, that's not all! There are special allowances and other premium facilities that make this position even more attractive.
Compiled from various sources by Kapanlagi.com on Thursday (23/1/2025), here is an in-depth review of the salary and facilities that will be enjoyed by US President Donald Trump and US Vice President JD Vance.
Donald Trump's salary as President of the United States reaches USD 400,000 per year, equivalent to Rp6.5 billion when calculated at the latest exchange rate. This figure has been set by Congress since 2001 and remains unchanged to this day.
In addition to the base salary, Trump also receives an official allowance of USD 50,000 (around Rp815 million) to support state activities, plus entertainment funds worth USD 19,000 (Rp309 million) and a travel budget of USD 100,000 (Rp1.6 billion).
According to official sources from the White House, all these allowances are part of the president's responsibilities in carrying out his official and diplomatic duties.
In addition to the enticing salary and allowances, the US President enjoys access to various unimaginable luxurious facilities, such as the magnificent White House as the official residence during his term.
With the privilege of using Air Force One and Marine One, the president can fly in style, while a fleet of armored limousines and tight protection from the Secret Service ensure his safety and comfort.
Interestingly, after being inaugurated, the president is given a budget of USD 100,000 to redecorate the White House according to his personal taste.
All these combinations make the president's annual compensation package soar to USD 569,000, or around Rp9.3 billion—a figure that reflects the luxury and prestige of the highest office in the land of Uncle Sam.
Vice President JD Vance currently has an annual salary of USD 235,100, equivalent to about Rp3.8 billion. Although this amount seems tempting, it is actually lower than his official salary, which should reach USD 289,400, due to the salary freeze policy in the American Relief Act 2025.
In addition to his salary, Vance also receives a number of allowances, although not as extensive as those enjoyed by the president, including more limited travel and official accommodation facilities.
Donald Trump's salary places him among the highest-earning world leaders, yet it still falls significantly short compared to Singapore's Prime Minister, Lawrence Wong, who earns USD 1.6 million per year, along with bonuses and other allowances.
Following him, Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu earns USD 695,000 per year, while Viola Amherd from Switzerland follows with an income of USD 530,000 per year.
In comparison, the salary of the President of Indonesia is much lower. President Prabowo Subianto, who was inaugurated in 2024, receives a basic salary of Rp62.7 million per month, or about Rp752 million per year. Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka receives Rp42.16 million per month, or equivalent to Rp505 million per year.
Nevertheless, the allowances for the president and vice president in Indonesia are also quite significant, with additional operational facilities. This shows a stark difference between leaders of developed countries like the US and developing countries.
The US President receives an expense allowance of USD 50,000, travel funds of USD 100,000, and entertainment funds of USD 19,000. In addition, the president also has full access to the White House facilities, Air Force One, and Secret Service protection.
The US Congress set the president's salary at USD 400,000 in 2001. Increases in the president's salary in the US require legislative approval, which is rarely done to avoid public criticism.
The Prime Minister of Singapore, Lawrence Wong, has the highest salary in the world at USD 1.6 million per year, including bonuses and allowances.
