When you’re rich enough to be a Democrat, you can be as hypocritical as you want.
How did he make all his money? Being a community organizer and public servant and all?
yeah, and it was titled, Selling Uranium to Russia
Nice digs for a Honolulu street punk.

He's worth about $40 million now. $1.3 million when he entered White House which is not wealthy.
The Obamas are worth 30 times more than when they entered the White House in 2008 — here's how they spend their millions

So without capitalism he would not be wealthy? Good for him. For $400K I am sure he is speaking from the heart and for the little guy.
The market sets the price for speaking fees... Just like it does for star athletes and CEOs.
You can look up mansions for McCain, Moscow Mitch, "I call her Nancy" Pelosi, etc. They've all profited from a lifetime in politics.
BTW, the US has always had a capitalist economy. I'm guessing most these aholes make money from insider trades.
1. They're stupid.
2. Socialists are an extremely small minority in the party.
3. Nationalized healthcare wouldn't turn the entire economy away from capitalism. I don't want it... But I understand where they're coming from.
cute kid. the "market" sets the price for speaking fees...…………..just ask Bill Clinton about speaking fees and pay to play...…...
I realize Obama has influence in some circles, but how much real help could he provide with Trump as president? Being connected to Obama would be a huge negative for those needing this administration's assistance.
You might want to check W's speaking fees.
Simple math. Not surprised you cant calculate.
By all left wing media reports...he inherited ~$100million from his father. This same media now estimates his fortune to be worth ~$4billion.
Not as impressive as a single mother starting without a $400 inheritance and managing to accumulate $20,000 savings after 30 years of honest work, and without filing bankruptcy several times. Not even in the same ball park impressive.
Thanks
Since there's no conclusive evidence of what he received or what he's actually worth today, it's impossible to determine what the gain is.
4000% might be a conservative number. An article in the NYT says he may have only received $20m from his parents estate.
There is more conclusive evidence of his net worth now and the amount of money he inherited than there is conclusive evidence of how exactly the Obama's are being able to afford a $15million mansion.
When are you ever going to actually contribute to a discussion?
You don't really understand bankruptcy restructuring do you?
He is as stupid as they come. That’s a trick with greed and marine hanging around.
I've seen everything from the $20 mil you mentioned to $413 mil. And net worth projection from $3 bil to $4 bil....with others stating it's closer to $1 billion...or less
Dtard's accounting skills might suggest less than $1billion. I'll stick with Fortune's estimates in this case (~$3B). They have researched individuals wealth and holdings for a lot longer than Trump's been a billionaire and you've been a *cough* "republican" *cough*.
It's truly painful having any kind of discussion with you. I'll end by saying nothing's conclusive... it's all conjecture on the journalists part. Any numbers you and I throw down are estimates built on 3rd, 4th, 5th hand info. If you want to believe it's 4000 %, that's fine....at least establish it's your opinion and but not a conclusive fact.
He inherited $413 million. He is now worth, according to your post (and I believe it), $3 billion. You might want to go back to grade school to re-learn math. That's about a 726% increase (which isn't shabby) when you neglect the six bankruptcies.
