As US president, Donald Trump always kept a secret about his income.

Successors Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are now showing their income - including a striking observation.

Munich / Washington - It was perhaps one of the best-kept secrets in the world: We are talking about the income of ex-US President Donald Trump.

And from his tax return, ergo, the taxes that the head of state of the United States paid to the tax authorities before and during his executive branch.

Successor Joe Biden promised to disclose his tax return - and now he kept his word.

Together with Vice President Kamala Harris.

USA: President Joe Biden and Vice Kamala Harris make tax returns public

Both US politicians made their earnings public in election year 2020 and in 2019.

Striking: For both Biden and Harris, the fight for the Democratic White House with Republican Trump was apparently not at all financially worthwhile.

Both the 78-year-old head of government and his 56-year-old deputy had to accept significant income losses.

In numbers: Joe Biden and his wife Jill earned an income of around 600,000 dollars in 2020, which corresponds to around 500,000 euros.

According to the White House, $ 157,000 in taxes went to the United States as a federal government, and $ 29,000 in taxes went to the state of Delaware, their home state, which Biden represented for 36 years as a senator in Congress in Washington DC between 1973 and 2009.

Jill Biden last worked as a college teacher, Joe Biden as a politician.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have less incomes - Donald Trump denied tradition

As it is said, the two together would have earned a total of $ 985,000 in 2019.

So much more than in the election year at the end of which Joe Biden became the 46th President of the USA.

The same observation can be made with Kamala Harris.

Her husband, Douglas Emhoff, is a lawyer.

In 2019, both reportedly had a total income of $ 3.3 million.

In 2020 it was $ 1.7 million, of which $ 800,000 was paid as taxes.

In the United States, it is common for newly elected presidents to disclose their tax returns.

Donald Trump broke with this tradition.
