Now that Karoline is the White House press secretary this go round, Karoline’s salary is estimated to be $180,000. It’s the same amout former President Joe Biden’s Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre earned when she was in the role, according to the White House’s annual personnel report, per Ballotpedia.

Also, Jen Psaki, who was Biden’s Press Secretary before Karine, reportedly earned $180,000. If this is the standard, then Karoline most likely is earning a similar amount if not the same.

Together, the two are most likely bringing in the millions as a union.
