Weber receives a double salary: the basic €8,419.90 monthly parliamentary salary, along with a €350 daily allowance for expenses, which he can claim for every day of the year. On top of that, he earns more than €14,000 per month as EPP party leader.

When Weber first took over EPP leadership, he demanded a separate salary for the role.

As group leader, he’s also entitled to additional perks — such as a dedicated company car and chauffeur, a benefit he’s insisted on and had since 2016, according to a leaked letter obtained by Table.Briefings.

A 2020 report by Der Spiegel revealed that the chauffeur service costs around €100,000 per year, paid by the parliamentary group — and ultimately, European taxpayers.

Weber reportedly enjoys luxury vehicles — BMWs, Mercedes, and Audis — provided under preferential leasing terms. These discounts are crucial since high-end car rentals would otherwise violate EU budget guidelines.

While other political group leaders, like those from the S&D, have given up official cars in their constituencies, Weber has refused to do so.
