How Much Does Jared Kushner Make? Trump Taps Son-In-Law To Lead White House Office

President Donald Trump was expected to create a new office in the White House on Monday with the goal of overhauling federal bureaucracy, according to a Washington Post report from Sunday. The office has been described as a “SWAT team of strategic consultants,” and the person tapped to lead it: Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump.

The White House Office of American Innovation, as it’s called, will reform the Office of Veterans Affairs, modernize technology, focus on opioid abuse and work on the president’s infrastructure package, to begin with.

“We should have excellence in government,” Kushner told the Washington Post. “The government should be run like a great American company. Our hope is that we can achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens.”

Kushner was already working as a senior advisor to the president. In the two months since the Trump Administration began, his influence reached from driving domestic policy to working as a shadow diplomat.

The White House said in January that, in order to comply with nepotism laws, Kushner was performing his tasks as advisor for free. No representative from the Trump Administration has indicated that this has changed with Kushner’s evolving role.

Also in January, Kushner reportedly divested his assets related to his business holdings to avoid a conflict of interest. But in a report published earlier this month, the White House admitted that Kushner still owns some real estate holdings with Kushner Companies, his family’s business.

Even though Kushner was not receiving a salary from the White House, that doesn't mean his family will be forced to panhandle on the streets of Washington, D.C. to pick up a few bucks. In December, Forbes estimated that the Kushner family net worth — which included Jared Kushner, his brother Josh Kushner and their parents — was worth at least $1.8 billion. Much of that fortune came from real estate holdings.

In the past week, Democrats have questioned whether Kushner was really free from conflicts of interest when it came to his business interests and his White House role. A deal between the Chinese Anbang Insurance Group and Kushner Companies could mean an additional $400 million in the pocket of the Kushner family. Several Democrats, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.), wrote letters to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and the Office of White House Counsel that were released Saturday.

A statement from Warren’s office said lawmakers "expressed concern about the possible conflicts of interest that would result from such a transaction, as well as its potential implications for national security."
