President Joe Biden and first lady Dr. Jill Biden earned $619,976 in 2023, according to their joint tax returnreleased by the White House on Monday – the deadline date for Americans to file their taxes.
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.”
That statement could be seen as a dig at former President Donald Trump, who declined to voluntarily release his tax returns while he was president. 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.
The bulk of the Bidens’ income came from President Biden’s congressionally mandated $400,000 salary, along with pensions. The first lady also earned $85,985 from her position as a teacher at Northern Virginia Community College.
Here’s a full breakdown:
From USA Today
Biden does get a pension for his time as Vice President and senator and they both qualify for social security.
Damn, they’re not rich enough to buy a large house in a blue state.
He owns two houses in Blue states, that’s where 7 million dollars of his 10 million dollar net worth comes from.
Still significantly less than any usual oligarch, dictator, or any member of an S&P 500 company C suite.
You know we don’t charge the full price of the house all at once in blue States right?
Joe Biden’s net worth is around $10 million.
