A widely respected businessman and real estate developer, Kushner was instrumental in formulating and executing the strategy behind Trump’s historic victory in November.
“Kushner has chosen to forego his salary while serving in the administration,” the Presidential Transition Team said in a statement.
The incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said that Kushner is “a visionary with a rare ability” to communicate with and assemble broad coalitions of support.
“His entrepreneurial mindset will be a great asset to the team as well as his open mind, adaptability and keen intellect,” he said.
