Hail to the chief of state.
Zippia analyzed the salary of every governor based on information received from Ballotpedia. With this data, we can compare the 50 governors of the United States to see how much each makes.
Most governors are paid at least $100,000, but leaders of six states receive a five-figure salary. The wages from $70,000 to $187,818.
While the pay pales in comparison to that of some CEOs and execs, staying at the Governor's Mansion can be a great stepping stone in a political career. Of the 44 men who have been president of the United States, 17 previously served as governor. The most recent to do so was George W. Bush, who was working out of the capitol building in Austin, Texas when he was elected president.
Of the current slate of governors, 33 are Republicans, 16 are Democrats, and one is an Independent. There will be gubernatorial elections in 36 states during 2018.
