Joe Biden's Pension Exceeds Trump's Presidential Salary

Joe Biden's Pension Exceeds Trump's Presidential Salary

Joe Biden, the former US President, receives a pension of $417,000 annually, which is more than the $400,000 salary of the current US President, Donald Trump.

This large pension is because Biden had a long career in public service, serving for 44 years in the Senate and as Vice President before becoming President.

His pension comes from two sources: a CSRS pension of about $166,000 and a Former President Act pension of about $250,600.

Additionally, Biden gets over $1.5 million for his office and support.

On the other hand, Donald Trump, who is a billionaire, has a net worth of $6.6 billion and has donated his presidential salary to federal agencies.
