Joe Biden
US President Joe Biden apparently lived the life of his dreams after leaving the vice-president's office in 2016 as he kept getting handsomely paid by the University of Pennsylvania, for never teaching a class. Biden became an honorary professor at the Philadelphia School in 2017 and didn’t leave the position until becoming the president in 2021. However, the University of Pennsylvania granted him an unpaid leave of absence as soon as he announced the run for the presidency in 2019. As per the report, Biden was paid nearly $1 million between 2017 and 2019. He was paid $371,159 in 2017 and $540,484 in 2018 and 2019.
Joe Biden never taught classes at the University of Pennsylvania
The revelation was made by the Republican National Committee Research Unit, which claimed that he never taught a semester’s worth of courses. He did attend lectures and talk to students during the period but never taught courses. His tax forms have also revealed that he was paid a total of $900,000 by the university from 2017 to 2019.
