The number of White House employees who earn six figures a year is 141, according to its report on the salaries released to Congress on Friday.
Since 1995, the White House has been required to submit the names, titles, and salaries of employees of the executive branch. The White House has made the report searchable and downloadble.
"Consistent with President Obama's commitment to transparency, this report is being publicly disclosed on our website as it is transmitted to Congress," said the introduction to the table.
Top earners at the White House make $172,200 a year; there are 21 people in that category. Three people listed as advisers have a salary of $0 per year.
Some of the top earners are names familiar to Washington insiders, including press secretary Jay Carney, speechwriter Jonathan Favreau, and adviser Valerie Jarrett.
