President Barack Obama
The one thing that most people love about President Barack Obama is his ability to relate to a meager lifestyle. Prior to acquiring a successful career in politics, he grew up under very quaint living conditions that “the 99%” population of the U.S. is all too familiar with. It’s quite obvious that once President Obama attained a respectable salary, he had no intentions of reverting back to a lifestyle on the brink of poverty. He initially invested his money in stocks and bonds and continued to invest after striking lucrative publishing deals for his books.
Here’s a glimpse into President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama’s finances in 2004: In his 2004 financial statements, President Obama indicated that he had three sources of income. One was an $80,287 salary from the Illinois Senate, where he was a state senator. The other was a $32,144 salary from the University of Chicago Law School, where he taught as a lecturer while he was in the statehouse. The third was Michelle Obama’s salary from the University of Chicago Hospitals, where she was an administrator. The Obamas had investments in three different assets in 2004: First was the Illinois State Senate Pension Fund, which Obama listed as worth something between $50,000 and $100,000, and the other two were investments in funds with Vanguard, the investment management company. President Obama evaluated his investments in Vanguard Wellington Fund to be worth between $100,000 and $200,000. The Wellington Fund consists of around 60 to 70 percent stocks and 30 percent to 40 percent bonds and is essentially a fundamental mutual fund. The Obamas also had $50,000 to $100,000 invested in the Vanguard Wellesley Fund. The Vanguard Wellesley Fund is more bond-heavy than most balanced funds, with exposure to around two-thirds bonds to one-third stocks.
After the 2004 Democratic National Convention, President Obama landed a lucrative publishing deal from Random House after delivering his speech, “The Audacity of Hope.” He signed a deal for 2 nonfiction books and one children’s book. One nonfiction would be The Audacity of Hope, an extended version of his 2004 speech. The children’s book — sources believe — became Of Thee I Sing, with proceeds going to charity. The terms for the book deals are as follows; After January of 2005, Obama received a $1.9 million advance on The Audacity of Hope. For that book, the deal says that he gets 15% of the list price for Hardcover copies, 7% of the list price for the trade paperback version, then 8% of list price for the first 150,000 issues sold of the mass market paperback, then 10% of the list price thereafter. He also gets 10% of audio book sales. Random House also republished his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, generating more sales.
Once President Obama got the money from Random House, he didn’t just let it sit in a bank account. He invested.
He got a JPMorgan Chase Private Client Asset Management account, worth at least $100,000. His checking account with Northern Trust was worth between $250,000 and $500,000, and he also banked with UBS. He got $378,237 in royalties from Dystel & Goderich, his literary agent for Dreams From My Father, and another advance from Random House, $847,167. At this point, he was worth between $1.1 million and $2.5 million. From 2006-2007, he used his royalty checks from his books to buy a lump sum of Treasury notes. In 2006 he got $147,490 for Dreams From My Father and $425,000 from Random House for The Audacity of Hope. In 2007, as his presidential run made him a household name, book sales skyrocketed. He got $815,971 for Dreams and $3.28 million for Audacity.
He bought somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million worth of U.S. Treasury Notes. He moved the money from the two Vanguard Wellington Mutual Funds to the Vanguard FTSE Social Index Fund, which invests based on “certain social, human rights, and environmental criteria.” In 2007, he invested in his two daughters’ futures by purchasing two Bright Directions Age-Based Growth Plans for each of them. The plans will pay for his daughters’ college educations. Each portfolio was worth between $50,000 and $100,000. By 2010, the portfolios were worth $100,000 to $200,000 each.
The year he ran for President, he bought millions of dollars worth of U.S. Treasury Bills. By the time President Obama was sworn in, he owned somewhere between $1.1 million and $5.1 million worth of U.S. Treasury Bills, comprising most of his net worth. His other assets were worth between $411,000 and $915,000. He did not collect any income from his books. In 2009, he donated approximately $1.4 million Nobel Prize money to charities. When President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, he told the prize committee to wire the money directly to the following charities:
The salary compensation the President salary has received for his first term is $1.6 million. As a United States Senator, he was making $174,000 per year. Since he spent four years there, he acquired around $696,000 over the course of his term. In his time in federal government, President Obama made (pre-tax) $1.1 million. His estimated net worth is between $2.8 million and $11.8 million in 2010.

@Cynthia I see you are confuse like many others. No one is perfect and I don’t agree with all the policies that are put forward yet I am for the man who had the best interested of this country in mind. I have never seen so much hate for this President and the only reason is the COLOR OF HIS SKIN as you noted in your comments. I hope you know what a vocher will do if the M/R teams is elected.
We should learn about his investment and try to do the same and just maybe we can give something back instead of sending our job and money over seas.

Contempt for BO has more to do with BO and the BO Administration being dysfunctional, inept, un-American than anyone having hate for Barack Obama and other disgraceful elected officials affiliated with the Democratic Party. The exception being no good Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is a Republican, but just as treasonous and disgraceful.

Sorry. Obama won’t have my vote! I also did not vote for him when he was elected into office.
I can not in good conscience vote for a man that goes against my Christian core values.
1. His agreement to gay marriage.
2. His agreement with abortion.
3. His stand on Israel.
4. His handling of American economics.
5. His honoring and bowing before Muslim leadership! What? You are kidding me Mr. Obama
6. His leadership on ObamaCare.
Lastly he is fastly leading our nation into Socialism.
Get him out of office quick!
I am not happy nor blinded by the fact that he is a “black” president either!

This Is Our Neighborhood Stimulus Package!
Robbery suspects toss cash into air during pursuit, With the cops closing in, bank robbery suspects throw currency from a car, snarling the streets of South L.A.
by Andrew Blankstein, Joel Rubin and Angel Jennings, Los Angeles Times, 6:12 PM PDT, September 12, 2012
Even in the land of police chases, it was a wild ride.
A pair of bank robbery suspects Wednesday led cops on a bizarre, dangerous pursuit, hurling fistfuls of stolen cash from their car in a failed getaway bid that sent hundreds of people scrambling into the path of oncoming police cars as they lunged after the flying bills.
Although it was almost certainly a self-serving gambit meant to slow their pursuers, the robbery suspects’ decision to share the loot in such brazen fashion made them instant heroes to many in the impoverished South L.A. neighborhoods where the chase came to an end.

“It’s our neighborhood stimulus package!” laughed Diane Dorsey, who watched the bedlam unfold from her front yard at the corner of Kansas and Vernon avenues.
“Kids were smiling like it was Christmas,” added a neighbor, who gave only his first name, Desean.
More than a few compared the suspects to a certain folk outlaw known for robbing from the rich to give to the poor. Los Angeles Police spokesman Cmdr. Andy Smith tried to knock down such talk. “Robin Hood is not how I would describe these guys,” he said. “It’s just the worst side of human nature.”
The made-for-Hollywood chase began 40 miles to the north in Santa Clarita, when four armed men held up a Bank of America branch shortly after 10 a.m. and fled in a black Volvo SUV that had been reported stolen hours earlier, police said. Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department quickly located the suspects and began to pursue them. Shortly after the chase began, two of the men bailed from the vehicle in an attempt to escape on foot but were taken into custody, said Capt. Mike Parker, a spokesman for the Sheriff’s Department.
The two remaining suspects continued on, jumping from freeways to streets and back again as they wound their way through the San Gabriel Valley and Pasadena and onward toward the skyline of downtown Los Angeles.
People trying to outrun police commonly gravitate to neighborhoods familiar to them, and the driver Wednesday appeared to act no differently. Leaving downtown, he looped west to MacArthur Park, then past the USC campus until arriving in South L.A., where the Volvo had been stolen.
Up to this point, the chase had followed the script of countless others before it in Los Angeles, where police pursuits pass as televised entertainment captured in real time by ubiquitous news helicopters.
But then, as the men sped through congested residential neighborhoods with more than a dozen Sheriff’s Department vehicles in pursuit and a police helicopter tracking them overhead, the windows in the back seat of the SUV went down. A hand grasping a wad of bills emerged and let go, sending the money fluttering to the pavement.
As he continued tossing the mix of hundreds, fifties, twenties and lower denominations in intermittent bursts, people in the area left their televisions and took to the curbs. The suspect waited until the car reached corners with large gatherings of people before sending more plumes of bills out the window, seemingly to maximize the number of people who would scramble into the street. Sheriff’s deputies were forced to slow and swerve to avoid hitting people.
“It’s a true blessing if no one was seriously hurt,” Parker said.
The cash grab unfolded in a neighborhood beset by joblessness. A Times analysis of census data shows about half of people age 16 and older are either unemployed or not in the labor force.
With each block, the crowds grew larger. Consisting mostly of young men, many cheered and raised their arms exuberantly as the SUV sped by. In the end, however, the ploy led to the suspects’ undoing.
With so many people following their escapade, the streets became congested with cars and pedestrians. As they tried to navigate along a clogged street, the SUV became trapped behind a truck. Sheriff’s deputies lept from their vehicles with guns drawn, swarmed the Volvo and yanked the suspects out. The identities of the suspects have not been released, and police declined to say how much money had been stolen from the bank.
Hundreds of onlookers descended on the scene, surrounding the police vehicles into which the suspects had been placed. With police badly outmanned and the crowd growing agitated, it appeared for several tense minutes that officers would need to use force to keep people at bay. The atmosphere lightened, however, after scores of LAPD officers arrived to help dissipate the crowd.
No serious injuries were reported, although an officer’s foot was reportedly run over by the suspect’s vehicle and a man on a bicycle claimed he was hit by a police car during the pursuit, police said.
Several people recounted with a sense of bewilderment the day’s odd events.
Gary Cabral, 25, was waiting for a bus when the SUV rolled past. “I saw money flying in the air, and I was like, ‘Let’s go get it!’” Cabral said.
He and others made a dash for the cash. Gabral managed to grab five notes — all of them $1 bills. He divided the meager take among his two nephews.
Anthony Solano watched a crowd on 46th Street as the suspect tossed cash at them. “You know how piranhas feed, how they attack?” Solano said. “Yeah, that’s what it was like.”
Police urged people to turn in cash they scooped up, warning that it is a crime to keep it and that they would use video footage to try to identify people.

A ignorant comment….these folks that decide to go into politics’ go to do a job. Along the way they also have a birds eye view into all sorts of avenues’..so why not ..write a book I would. Being in political life does not mean you live on the skids.. You lead by example. Period. No matter who is in office there will always be hard issues to deal with crime, poor folks, wars etc.,, there is no heaven on earth. Talk is so cheap…so many of us can sit back and judge..how are you making a difference?

You people are sad. This man has GIVEN AWAY a lot of money as well as investing wisely. The poor guy gets credit for nothing from the black community and that’s why, no matter how much people want him to address black issues in public (although he has his wife do it for him ALL THE TIME, but again, no credit for that), we don’t have his back.
Stop hatin’ and be proud that this guy is really a self made millionare who actually gives a substantial portion of his money to charity.
How much have YOU given, in proportion to your income, to charity? He gave away the ENTIRE AMOUNT from the nobel peace prize. Would you have given away the ENTIRE AMOUNT of extra income that you didn’t expect to have (like a huge lottery payout for example) to charity? I ain’t gonna lie, I wouldn’t. I’d praise God and keep it moving, but he did.
We should be proud, not ashamed. I am going to forward this to everyone and everyone reading this should too. This is an example of good stewardship, not corrupt insider trading or whatever homeboy is trying to insinuate.

Given the fact that Mr. Obama is working for the ‘Anglo-elite’ and their cohorts, his wealth is never going to be made public to an extent we could ever recognize!
A (formerly jailed)whistleblower just received a reward of 104 million dollars from the IRS for revealing how one bank, ‘UBS’ hides wealth and shields wealthy Americans from taxes! In one particular case UBS settled out of court so that it wouldn’t have to reveal the names of those who hoard their secret wealth! If those names were to be revealed many of them would be politicians like Mr. Obama and the Bush families etc!
Don’t be surprised if the Obama’s become billionaires for the services and wealth they have helped generate for the ultra-wealthy “elite cabal”!

You people who are so worried about Romney’s money is so childish and green with envy that it makes no sense. Why is the &^%$#@ is it your business how much money he has? He earned it honestly and has been taxed on it twice. Once when he earned it and again on any dividends from its investment. I never hear one of you lovers of a Lying Omuslim asking ‘HOW’ he has made 12 million dollars since becoming president! At least we know Romney made his money legally by working harder and smarter than you UNinformed folks who will never be successful. YOu are too busy being jealous of those who are.
It is a good indication of how our country thinks. They hate successful people but yet want all they can get out of those of us who are productive.
WHEN DID IT BECOME A SIN TO BE SUCCESSFUL? ONLY WHEN O’BLAMMER BECAME THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.
