Small price to pay. He is after all a guy that looks like Quasimodo and has a few mistresses.

sounds like he's redistributing his excesses to the mass(es of above average barbers).

The thing that amazes me most is how much money he manages to spend on what little he has to cater to. Do you think his visits include a happy ending?

Seriously misleading title. $11k/month is not just for haircuts, it's a personal stylist salary.

Still pretty ridiculous but I expect this person is also the "makeup" person for the president.

It's interesting that the stylist makes only about a third less than Holland's own monthly paycheck.

Apparently he was pissed when he found out it was costing the government so much. I love how he apparently (?) had no idea.

I hope that the president isn't spending his time reviewing salaries of individual staff. He has more important things to do. Like leading a country.

In French Political circles? Leading the country is bottom of the list of things to do!

The EU is such an oligarchy.
