Donald Trump will be paid just $1-a-year to be President of the United States, he has revealed.
The billionaire businessman will not take the $400,000 salary when he takes office in January.
Instead, he will take a nominal $1 as required by law.
In his first interview since his shock election win, Trump sat down with CBS News' Lesley Stahl at his Manhattan home to film 60 Minutes.
During the interview, Trump was grilled on a wide range of issues, many of which he had been outspoken on during his controversial campaign
Trump has already been heavily criticised for a number of embarrassing u-turns and softening of his previously tough election pledges.
He vowed that he would still build the wall, but accepted that there "could be some fencing" in certain areas.
He added that a wall would be "more appropriate" in other locations along the border.
Trump also revealed he planned to "immediately" deport three million illegal immigrants with criminal records as soon as he entered the White House in January.
But he did not elaborate on his plans for the remaining nine or 10 million undocumented immigrants estimated to be in the country.
Instead, he emphasised the need to "secure our border" before making any further "determinations".
"After the border is secure and after everything gets normalised, we're going to make a determination on the people that they're talking about who are terrific people, they're terrific people but we are gonna make a determination at that," he said.
"But before we make that determination, it's very important we are going to secure our border."
