Barack and Michelle Obama are allegedly working behind the scenes to divide their estimated $70 million fortune as speculation grows about the future of their 32-year marriage.
According to RadarOnline, the former president and first lady have engaged legal teams and mediators to settle their financial affairs before making any public announcement.

If the reports are accurate, their split would mark an unprecedented moment in U.S. history, making them the first former presidential couple to divorce after leaving the White House.
While the Obamas have long been seen as a model couple, reports suggest their relationship has been under strain for some time.
Tensions reportedly escalated following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, when Barack allegedly pushed Michelle to take on a more prominent role within the Democratic Party after Joe Biden withdrew from the race. However, Michelle declined, opting instead to focus on her Hollywood ventures through Higher Ground Productions.
“They had already been living largely separate lives,” an insider claimed. “But when Michelle refused to run, and Barack had to support Kamala Harris instead, it was a major setback for him-especially after Harris lost.”
Despite public displays of unity, such as Barack’s affectionate birthday tribute to Michelle on social media in January, sources suggest their marriage is more of a partnership in name than reality.
Untangling a Shared Fortune
If the couple is indeed heading toward divorce, dividing their extensive wealth and assets will be a complicated process. Their financial portfolio includes luxury homes in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Martha’s Vineyard, as well as a stock portfolio reportedly worth over $25 million.
Additionally, the couple generates significant income from book deals, speaking engagements, and media productions through Higher Ground Productions.
“They want to get everything finalized before going public,” a source revealed. “Neither of them wants a drawn-out legal fight in the public eye.”
As of now, the Obamas have not confirmed or denied these reports. However, if an official announcement does come, it will undoubtedly reshape public perceptions of one of America’s most well-known couples.
