Dayum, he better watch it or he'll be "dead broke" when he leaves the white house.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He keeps the rest of his money in his Barbados accounts.

[rottndog]

Sure, he only has a grand in his US savings account...

But $hundreds of millions waiting in foreign government accounts for when he hits the speaking circuit post-POTUS.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

See, see you meanie-old FReepers! Obama is one of us!

[Sir Napsalot]

One of his accounts, the rest you don't hear about.

[9thLife]

They haven’t heard back from the Swiss accounts yet.

[norwaypinesavage]

Poor baby. He earns only a half million a year, and has to live from hand to mouth.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

I assume he keeps most of his money in brokerage accounts and other income-generating accounts/investments. why keep substantial money in a savings account?

[C. Edmund Wright]

he must have paid back the government for his personal vacation expense.....

[plain talk]

Bank savings account .. that pays almost zero in interest? Not surprising. I keep very little in my bank savings account. He probably keeps most of his money somewhere where it can earn dividends or capital gains.

[dp0622]

There’s a post further down estimating his wealth in the millions.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

He will be fine. I am not sure that it is our business anyway.

[proxy_user]

J.P.Morgan Private Client? That’s the latest scheme to separate money from affluent customers. Mucho flattery, and mucho fees.

[Amendment10]

Thank you for referencing that article PROCON. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

I don’t know what to think about Obama’s wealth since the following thread appeared earlier.

FR: Obamas worth millions, disclosure forms reveal

[Sacajaweau]

I haven't had a savings account in 30 years. But I do have two debit accounts and there is money in both of them. I also have a little bit of stocks.

So that headline is just a grabber. He's got plenty of bucks.

[Leep]

Obviously, the man is keep’n him down. Maybe he should apply for food stamps?

[combat_boots]

Oh, please.

The man will be pushing multiple hundreds of millions by the time he leaves office. Payoffs work that way.

[CMailBag]

He is taking notes on the Clintons.

Bet the Obama Foundation starts on Jan 21, 2017

[smokingfrog]

He probably has a few gold bars stashed away somewhere.

[skr]

The rest is in his campaign fund accounts.

THIS JUST IN: Obama foundation announces presidential library location in Chicago.

============================================

LIBRARY BRIBERY---CLINTON SOLICITED FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
WHO SUBSIDIZED HIS FOUNDATION/LIBRARY IN ARKANSAS

The Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."

==================================================

No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.

====================================================

REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.

As Hollywood hotshots protested the Beverly Hills Hotel over its ownership by Brunei's sultan and his embrace of Sharia law, it turns out the Brunei government has financial connections to the Clintons.

The Clinton presidential library lists Brunei along with Kuwait, Oman and Qatar (new home of the Gitmo Five) as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million through last year.

The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...

==================================================

Hillary later told Greta that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation....leading some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....,blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.

============================

DEREK HUNTER ASKED ON TOWNHALL.COM Why do the world’s wealthiest people and foreign govts feel compelled to give the Clinton Foundation hundreds of millions of dollars to do "charity"...... which the do-good Clintons constantly brag about.....that are in reality innocuous activities that thousands of charities already do......

These "Foundations" have become little more than political extortion.....shakedowns....prolly money laundering, tax evasion havens, as well.

Taxpayers demand laws prohibiting public official and ex-presidents from forming foundations that are little more than personal ATM's. Opportunistic pols use con artist-type "shakedowns" to personally profit by selling access and favorable public policy "for a price."
