The president is paid $400,000 a year, on a monthly basis. Plus, he receives an extra expense allowance of $50,000 a year. The first president, George Washington, earned $25,000 a year when he came into office in 1789.Feb 15, 2016

Today, he gets $400,000 a year plus expenses. That much money would get you into DisneyWorld every day for nearly thirty years!

The president also gets:

-the use of a furnished house and a country retreat

-a limousine, yacht, and use of a private plane

-personal and office staff

-Secret Service agents to protect him from danger
