Maybe they are higher paid because they are doing multiple jobs and higher qualified? Although you are correct, it does seem excessive if the numbers are correct.
Oh wait, I just reread the title and realized I miscalculated.
Melania is saving $1.7m, not spending. I divided 2.4m by 23, an 1.7m by 5.
That's what I get for reaching above my paygrade...
Yes, I missed that too!
