Hmmm..POTUS makes $400K per year salary. At 8 years (God help us all) in office, Barry made $3.2M GROSS, before taxes.
Let’s be generous and assume a 40% total tax burden..(hey, he was POTUS..he probably had a good tax attorney..) that’s a paltry $1.9M NET - aka “take-home”.
Before that, he was a short-term Junior Senator and a Community Organizer. Safe to say he didn’t take home another $1.9M net in those years.
Wonder where all the cash to buy an EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR home came from?
Ah, the possibilities..and the very probable corruption..
Wonder where all the cash to buy an EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR home came from?
And then there’s the Clintons, who never owned a home, able to buy three multimillion dollar homes after leaving office.
Having two massive best-selling books couldn't have hurt.
Give me a break. Obama is already a multi-millionaire and he will get richer and richer by the day. He will be raking in the cash every day for speeches, as a member of corporate boards, etc.
Barack Obama 'to pocket £2.5million for sold-out speech in Milan today' ... a staggering £2.5million (€3million) today for delivering a speech to a sold-out audience
The Financial Times reports that Penguin Random House paid an excess of $65 million for memoirs by both Obamas.
You are missing the big story. Obama is staying in DC. He is going to be the head of the Dem Party for at least the next four years. No doubt he is gearing up to help the Dems regain control of Congress. He is going after Trump who is tearing down his legacy. Obama heads the shadow government. This is unprecedented and a disaster for this country. That's the real story.
They know their books are going to sell then be made into propaganda movies?
You've forgotten his stint as a Baskin Robbins Sales Associate in Hawaii - he probably could have save quite a bit from that career since he was apparently living either with his white grandma or his Hawaiian boyfriend-
Oh, wait- - wasn't he doing a bunch of coke and weed in those days?
