Barack Obama, 2009-2017 – $40 Million
Barack Obama is famous for ordering the military operation that killed Osama bin Laden. He is the first African-American to hold the post of the president. Like many other presidents, Obama did not have wealthy ancestors. But, he began to earn his riches after he became the president of the United States. His estimated wealth of $40 million has come mostly from speaking arrangements with various universities and institutions, as well as the lucrative book deals he and Michelle, his wife, got after the end of his terms.
