According to Radar Online, former U.S. President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama are reportedly facing the possibility of a divorce.
If these rumors hold any truth, the situation could involve significant financial implications for the couple.
Over the years, the Obamas have built a substantial public profile and an incredibly successful business empire. Sources suggest that if a separation were to happen, it could lead to an expensive and complex legal battle.
Notably, the couple never signed a prenuptial agreement. Reports indicate that their combined net worth soared to an impressive $70 million last year—a dramatic increase from the estimated $800,000 they had before moving into the White House in 2009.
During his two terms as President of the United States, Barack Obama earned a base salary of $400,000 per year. After leaving the White House, he began receiving an annual presidential pension of approximately $207,000.
In addition to their government earnings, both Barack and Michelle Obama secured lucrative book deals, launched a successful entertainment company producing content for Netflix, and even ventured into podcasting. Given the absence of a prenuptial agreement, any potential divorce could escalate into a high-stakes financial dispute.
