Barack and Michelle Obama may soon become Kennedy adjacent because we've learned they're in escrow for a remarkable, mega-expensive, Martha's Vineyard estate.
Multiple island sources tell us the Obamas are in escrow for the estate owned by Boston Celtics owner, Wyc Grousbeck. The former Prez and First Lady have been renting the house this summer and loved it so much, we've learned they made an offer. The property is listed at $14,850,000. Our sources say they're paying less, but we don't know how much.
The estate -- incredible. It's 29 beachfront acres. The main residence is just shy of 6,900 square feet. It has 7 bedrooms, so Sasha and Malia have a place to crash, along with several of their friends. It has the obligatory pool, an outdoor fireplace, a chef's kitchen, vaulted ceilings and 2 guest wings. It has incredible views, especially while soaking in the second-floor balcony Jacuzzi.
The beachfront is private ... and comes with a boathouse.
Downside -- only a 2-car garage!!! Sorry kids.
The estate is listed by the realtors who dominate the area -- Tom LeClair and Gerret Conover. They did not return our calls.
The estate is currently in escrow and it's not a done deal just yet. We're told there are contingencies so it's possible it could fall apart, but we're told so far it's a go.
Did they ever end up with that estate in Hawaii that was also rumored about?
How Mexican of them.
Entering office as a pauper and leaving as princes.
Millions and millions from...what? Tribute? Accolades? The sweat of their brows?
Nope. Bribes.
Nothing more.
Netflix money? Book Money?
With that view and acreage I am surprised it doesnt cost more.
It’s definitely a shady deal. Look at the other properties in that range from the same agent:

Any chance a cat 5 storm lands there a day after closing??
Ain’t Affirmative Action wonderful.
After they move in, Trump should declare the beautiful site a national monument...and have federal marshals remove them.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
They launder the money through book deals.
I wonder how many people from Baltimore they are going to invite to live with them.
Or how many undocumented invaders they will host for the rest of their lives.
Being President is profitable. Maybe Michelle is going to run for office in MA.
Book deals, serving on corporate boards, paid speeches, etc. Profitable business.
Can't find the exact quote on Google as it's been scrubbed.
Camelot? Or Camel back?
I think I will file my reparations claim and seek this property as compensation.
You see, black people destroyed our local city (which used to be safe and walkable at night) so they owe me reparations.
60 years ago today, I was on that island, crewing a boat in the US Tuna Tournament. At the time I thought it was like being in Heaven. Sinatra was there also with the “Roma”. Like most beautiful areas, it became crowded and uppity since I was there. Now with all those politicians going there for what ever and buying up what ever they can, it will be just another Demo-Rat invested island. Its amazing what a book-authorship agreement can get you these days, especially books that end up on the dollar store shelf. “Hey Democrats, these people are looking down their noses at you, suckers!” See how concerned they are?
Why is Martha’s Vineyard so Important to the Black Elite?
Oak Bluffs: Martha’s Vineyard Has a Nourishing Magic for Black Americans
“Oak Bluffs,” Dr. Harris said, “was the hub of the island’s black life.”
Guess Obama will be able to put that old lamp into retirement now.
“and comes with a boathouse.”
Why did my brain see “bathhouse” on first scan ?
So how does a job that pays $400000 a year x 8 years if he didn’t spend any of it accumulate to 14 million.
Think “ wet my beak “ off the Clinton foundation and all that money sent to Iran in cash on pallets.
No way I believe his or Michaels books yield that kind of $$$$
You can't give $150 billion to Iran and lose billions at State Department without having a few hundreds of millions wash back.
This is what the young progressives should be rallying against.
yes but as Joe said he is a clean articulate negro.
