The Salary isn't too bad. It's the millions we have to spend on ex presidents who retire in perks, bennies, and security.

Every president EVER has ended up a millionaire as a result of being a president due to all the kickbacks and backdoor deals they did while in office....
I don't think money is the reason savvy businessmen don't more often pursue the job of president....
my guess is that they don't want to work with all the commie tree-luvin tofu eating liberals or the jesus freak republicans.
I know I don't. I would start punching people in the face my first day in office. I could see it now...
"This just in.... President freaks out and executes flying suplex taking out both Condoleeza Rice and Hilary in one ninja-like motion.... The budget deficit has miraculously decreased due to the president's insane but excellently executed suplex. "
... Hmm the more I think about it maybe I should be president. i'd kick so much ass in the senate... Those fuckers are all like 90 years old. I could beat down 10 at a time.

Take a loot at how much cash is spent in the primaries, let alone the Presidenctial race.
It takes a small fortune to get elected, and there are better avenues to pursue if wealth is your goal.
It's about power. The President is the most powerful position on the planet.
