Depending on sources, Obama and his immediate family are worth between 20 and 40 million. He started his campaign in 2007 with a net worth of 1.3 million.
Given that there is almost certainly some level of hidden money, and we know that grift is ongoing, I'm gonna go ahead and use the bigger number.
That is a 30 times increase in wealth in 8 years. There isn't an investment in the world that gets you that kind of return.
Let's apply that same roi to Trump.
His 3.5 billion is now worth 107 billion. Making him the second richest man in the world by a slim margin.
Instead, the number went down
He gave up more money than you and I will ever see, in a job where every other kleptocrat made money.
Just to put things in perspective
Didn't the Obamas get 60 million for their book deal and 40 million in their Netflix deal?
Maybe. But they haven't hit him yet. I only counted money he currently ( and publicly) has.
