There have been two U.S. presidents who chose not to take a salary during their time in office. The first was George Washington, who declined a salary for his entire presidency. The second was Herbert Hoover, who also refused to accept a salary during his term in office. Both presidents were independently wealthy and felt that they did not need the salary for their service to the country.
