Michelle Obama has been in the news much lately, what with a variety of lines of gossip pointing out and she and husband, ex-President Barack Obama, have been seen alone at various functions and speculating about a breakup.
And she’s been complaining, on a podcast, about how expensive it was for her family to live in the White House.
On her show, she recently said, “It’s expensive to live in the White House. Many people don’t know. I mean much is not covered. You’re paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat. You’re not paying for housing and the staff in it. But everything, even travel. If you’re not traveling with the president, if your kids are coming on a bright star which is the First Lady’s plane we had to pay for their travel to be on the plane. It is an expensive proposition and you’re running for two years and not earning an income.”
OMG, Michelle Obama is crying about how expensive it is to live in the White House!
My God, I honestly feel sorry for Barack Obama. Can you imagine having to go home to this every night for 30 freaking years! pic.twitter.com/S7y8GaLtAt— Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) May 2, 2025
She’s even attacked how “financially sound” Barack Obama was when they married.
He “was a Harvard Law graduate working as a civil rights attorney for a major Chicago law firm when they married in 1992,” a report said.

For average Americans, who were taking home salaries of about $60,000, according to Forbes, Obama was getting paid $400,000 for being president.
That would be $3.2 million for his eight years.
The family’s net worth now is estimated at $70 million, some from book deals and more from a Netflix contract.
He also has a lifetime guaranteed pension from the government, constant Secret Service protection, a government allowance for staff and office and more.
As long ago as 2004 he was being paid more than $80,000 a year from the Illinois state senate plus $32,000 from the University of Chicago, where he talked.
His “investments” back then were estimated to be worth up to $200,000.
He got $1.9 million from Random House for a book, and got another $1.2 million for other books.
On being elected, he already “owned somewhere between $1.1 million and $5.1 million in U.S. Treasury bills,” a report said.
He now gets up to $400,000 for speeches and the Obamas agreed to a $65 million book deal where each would write a project. The family bought a million dollar home in Chicago as well as a $14 million beachfront estate after leaving the White House.
Her comments, which often have no elaboration, have left some wondering odd questions about her:
LMAO! Did Michelle Obama just admit he’s actually Big Mike?
