Not really. It comes with the job of being president. In other words, Barack Obama lives at the White House because it is the official residence of the President of the United States; throughout history, most American presidents have lived there (George Washington did not-- it hadn't been built yet). The taxpayers are the ones who pay for the upkeep of the White House. But presidents have an expense account and a budget, and if they go over that amount, they do have to reimburse the US Treasury.
