Ms. Hicks is considered the 4th most powerful person after the President and is one of the 22 highest paid people in the White House with a salary of up to 179,700 USD/year, equal to "veterans" like Steve Bannon or Kellyanne Conway.

Ms. Hicks, only 28 years old, is a relatively new figure in American politics. Previously, in 2012, she worked for Hiltzik Strategies, a communications company that represents the luxury fashion brand chain of President Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka.

Hiltzik Strategies also agreed to let Ms. Hicks represent the real estate brand of billionaire Donald Trump, and Ms. Hicks's special talent made Mr. Trump ask her to join his campaign team in 2016.

Ms. Hicks is a trusted person of Mr. Trump. He even nicknamed her “Hopester” while she is allowed to call him by his first name instead of “Mr. President” like most of his other aides.

Like Mr. Trump’s wife and daughter, Ms. Hope Hicks was a famous model. At the age of 11, she and her sister participated in a promotional campaign for the fashion brand Ralph Lauren. She is also a model representing the leading American car brand, Ford./.
