Somewhere between scandals this week, the president found time to sign financial disclosure forms indicating that he and the first lady held assets totaling somewhere between $1.8 and $6.8 million last year. Five million dollars seems like a pretty big range to those of us in the oppressed 47 percent, but if you’re one of the rich, what’s a few million here or there? It’s not like he’s going to be #FlaggedForAudit.
ABC News reports that President Obama collected between $250,000 and $2.1 million in book royalties. We’re tempted to make a “you didn’t build write that” joke, but we’ll let it slide.
Obama earned royalties between $100,000-$1 million for "Dreams from my Father" and "Of Thee I Sing;" and up to $100K for "Audacity of Hope"
