It's not Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Not
Obama's senior adviser and close friend Valerie Jarrett. Not Cecilia
Munoz, who is overseeing White House efforts on immigration reform, nor
Lisa Monaco, who advises Obama on homeland security and
counterterrorism.
The best-paid
person of the 460 people who work at the White House is Seth Wheeler, a
senior adviser at the National Economic Council, who is crafting Obama's
strategy on housing finance.
One
of the newest appointees, Wheeler earns $225,000, according to the
annual White House report on its $37.9 million payroll released on
Friday.
Wheeler has been detailed to the role from the Federal Reserve where the pay scale is higher, a White House official explained.
It
also means he earns more than his boss, Gene Sperling, the director of
the National Economic Council, who earns the White House limit of
$172,200.
At the Fed, Wheeler was chief of staff for the Office of Financial Stability Policy and Research.
He
is an ex-Morgan Stanley banker who worked for former Treasury Secretary
Hank Paulson during the Bush Administration, and was a key architect
with the Obama administration's mortgage modification program, helping
craft the signature housing aid program known as the Home Affordable
Modification Program.
