Article says Jill pulls $85k. So the rest is probably investments, which is pretty damn modest, considering their age.

Okay?
The presidential salary is $400,000/yr, which is pretty small compared to a lot of NATO countries. Jill just has to pull in $200k, which is probably pretty doable for people with their background- I'd bet they own a business or two at least, in which case this is still fairly modest in the US. It's an unimaginable amount of money for me and almost anyone I know, but it's really not out of the ordinary (and maybe even pretty low) for someone in an ownership/leadership position in the US.
Now let's compare the numbers to Donald Trump's...oh thats right, he said he would release his nine years ago and never did.
Compare that to what chief executives of corporations make.
You know what's disgusting? 85k salary for a teacher. Teachers need more.
Oh boy don’t look at Florida’s teacher salaries then. (Or whatever hell holes are the 2 states lower than us)
Way more than my mom was paid as a teacher. She climbed the ranks for 20 years until retiring relatively recently, and barely broke 70 in all that time.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The White House also released the return for Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff, showing that pair made $450,299 last year.
“President Biden believes that all occupants of the Oval Office should be open and honest with the American people,” the White House said in a statement on Monday, “and that the longstanding tradition of annually releasing presidential tax returns should continue unbroken.”
Six years of Trump’s tax returns, including from his time as president, were released to the public by the House Ways and Means Committee at the end of 2022.
They donated $5,000 to the Beau Biden Foundation, which works to protect children from abuse and is named after the president’s late son, and smaller amounts to organizations including the Fraternal Order of Police, a Wilmington fire station and St. Joseph on the Brandywine.
Harris and Emhoff reported an income of $456,918 in 2022 and $1.6 million in 2021 - the year they sold a house.
The current first couple restarted the tradition of the first family releasing their tax returns upon taking office in 2021.
