Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner raked in at least $24 million last year after making a "substantial financial sacrifice" to work at the White House.
Under the Trump administration, Ms. Trump, the former president's daughter, and her husband Jared Kushner both worked as senior advisers to Trump.
Ms. Trump also worked as the Director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.
Based on the pair's final financial disclosure reports, obtained by Government watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, between January 1, 2020, and January 20, 2021, Ms. Trump and Kushner earned between $23,791,645 and $120,676,949 in combined outside income.
This comes some years after Jared Kushner's father, Charles Kushner an op-ed for The Washington Post in which he said his son had made "a substantial financial sacrifice" to work at the White House.
While a $24 million+ paycheck doesn't sound like much of a sacrifice, it turns out that they actually made less this time round – compared to their last financial disclosure reports in which they earned between $36,151,214 and $157,020,085.
In her last year at the White House, Ms. Trump did not receive any earnings from the businesses she ran before entering the administration, according to her final financial disclosure report.
In contrast, all of her previous disclosures included earnings from these businesses even though they had stopped operating in the summer of 2018.
Ms. Trump received $1,463,449 from her stake at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC according to the current financial disclosure.
However, this marked a dramatic decrease of nearly $4 million based on her previous disclosure.
When her time in the Trump administration has come to an end, the value of her stake in the hotel plummeted from between $5 and $25 million to $100,001 to $250,000, as per her previous disclosures.
The phenomenal drop in income was not accounted for in her financial disclosure report, however, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics states that the former president's daughter may not have sold a substantial share of her stake in the hotel as there is no "corresponding transaction" to suggest that she had.
Following their time in the White House, Ms. Trump and her husband have moved to Miami, Florida.
