才百万就豪宅? 真不知道O8的回忆录(包括任内的)就挣得不止这个数了? 但这种出书的deal起码时表面上说的清楚。

Barack Obama has earned at least $15.6 million from book deals since entering national politics, according to a Forbes analysis of 16 years of tax returns and financial disclosures 

. Here's a breakdown:

 

  • "Audacity of Hope" and "Of Thee I Sing": $8.8 million
  • "Dreams from My Father": $6.8 million
  • Total from books (as of 2017): $15.6 million

In addition, in 2017, Barack and Michelle Obama signed a joint book deal with Penguin Random House reportedly worth $65 million for their memoirs 

. Barack’s memoir, "A Promised Land", was released in 2020 and became a bestseller.

 

While the exact amount he personally received from that $65 million deal hasn't been publicly broken down, it's safe to say his total book-related earnings likely exceed $30–40 million, possibly more depending on royalties and sales performance.
