The official chef of the White House is Cristeta Comerford, she previously was with Bush and the Obamas decided she could stay at the white house as the chef.
I was wondering what is her salary? She must have a higher salary than a chef from a quality restaurant in France I suppose. What is the White House Chef's salary?

The White House is not required to publicly release the chef's salary. From a 2005 story by the NY Times they quoted the salary range as 80,000 to 100,000.
"The pay, $80,000 to $100,000 a year with no overtime, for what is essentially a private family chef who occasionally has an opportunity to show off at a state dinner, is well below what top level chefs can earn on the outside."
But the salary may be more than that.
One chef at the White house is a pastry chef and makes nearly $120,000 a year in salary.
