Barack Obama has an estimated net worth of $70 million in 2024.
Book Deals: One of Barack Obama’s primary sources of income is his book deals. Obama has authored several best-selling books, including Dreams From My Father, The Audacity of Hope, and A Promised Land. For A Promised Land, released in November 2020, Obama secured a $65 million deal with Penguin Random House, which also included a memoir by Michelle Obama. The book sold 3.3 million copies in its first month, becoming a top-selling political memoir.
As a former president, he is in high demand as a speaker, receiving fees up to $400,000 per event. In 2017, he reportedly earned $800,000 for two speeches and at least $2 million for three talks.
He and Michelle Obama purchased an $8.1 million mansion in Washington, D.C.’s Kalorama neighborhood in 2017. They also own a home in Chicago’s historic Hyde Park neighborhood. In 2019, the Obamas bought a $11.75 million estate on Martha’s Vineyard, which features a 7,000-square-foot main house on 29 oceanfront acres.
As a former president, Obama receives an annual pension of $205,700. This includes health insurance, office and staff funds, and round-the-clock Secret Service protection.

I don't really give a shit about either of them making money, just thought I show that a lot of people cash in. Just ask Pelosi's husband.

His latest perfect timing sell off was really something.
