White House releases staffers' salaries

The top earners in the Obama White House take home $172,200 a year, according to figures posted on whitehouse.gov Friday afternoon.

Twenty-one administration officials earn the top salary, including Chief of Staff Bill Daley, top healthcare adviser Nancy-Ann Deparle, senior adviser David Plouffe and White House spokesman Jay Carney.

"Since 1995, the White House has been required to deliver a report to Congress listing the title and salary of every White House Office employee," a post on the White House website states. "Consistent with President Obama's commitment to transparency, this report is being publicly disclosed on our website as it is transmitted to Congress."

The lowest salary paid is $41,000.

Three White House advisers apparently work for free: Patricia McGinnis, Jessica Schumer and Shale Wong take home $0.00 per year.

President Obama earns $400,000 per year.
