John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, had a notable financial background independent of his earnings as a political leader. Coming from the wealthy Kennedy family, he was a product of affluence, which shaped his lifestyle and political aspirations. Upon entering the presidency in 1961, Kennedy’s salary was set at $100,000 per year, a standard figure for the position at that time. This salary, while significant, paled in comparison to the vast wealth he accumulated through family investments and personal endeavors over the years.
