American Politicians With Bank Accounts That Rival Celebrities
Barack Obama (Born In 1961) – $70 Million
Before becoming a two-term President of the United States, Barack Obama was already making waves—not through politics, but through the success as an author. His first million came from royalties, thanks to the best-selling memoir “Dreams from My Father.” His rise in politics saw his salary jump from $30K as a state representative to $157.1K as a U.S. Senator.
With a presidential salary of $400K per year behind him, Barack and Michelle Obama struck a $60 million deal for their autobiographies. Today, the former POTUS’s wealth is estimated at around $70 million. Who knew being a best-selling author could be so lucrative?
