How much money will the president make in 2025?

Answer 1

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 over $550,000 each year. Has the president always been paid so little, 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 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.

I would not be surprised if by 2025, the President would be making close to $750,000 per year, however, that won't be much by then. It will probably be worse that Barack Obama's current salary.
