Speculation about Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage is growing, with reports suggesting they are preparing to split their estimated $70 million fortune. According to RadarOnline, the couple has already enlisted legal teams and mediators to handle their financial affairs privately. If true, this would mark the first divorce of a former president and first lady after leaving the White House.
Sources claim their relationship has been strained for some time, with tension escalating after the 2024 presidential election. Barack reportedly wanted Michelle to step up as a Democratic leader after Joe Biden’s withdrawal, but Michelle declined, preferring to focus on her Hollywood projects. This decision created a rift, and some insiders suggest the marriage has become more professional than personal.
If a divorce happens, dividing their wealth, which includes multiple properties and investments valued at over $25 million, will be complicated. The Obamas also earn substantial income from book deals, speaking engagements, and media deals with platforms like Netflix.
While the Obamas have not publicly addressed the rumors, a split would be a groundbreaking moment for modern political history. Many are waiting to see if they will confirm or deny the reports.
