Speculation about the state of Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage is heating up, with new reports suggesting that the former president and first lady are working behind the scenes to split their estimated $70 million fortune.
According to RadarOnline, the couple has already enlisted legal teams and mediators to sort out their financial affairs before making any public announcement. If true, this would mark a historic first—no former president and first lady have ever divorced after leaving the White House.

Cracks in the Marriage?
For years, the Obamas have been regarded as the gold standard of political power couples. However, sources claim their relationship has been strained for quite some time. Insiders suggest the tension reached a boiling point after the 2024 presidential election, when Barack Obama allegedly urged Michelle to step up as a key Democratic figure following Joe Biden’swithdrawal from the race.
Michelle reportedly declined, preferring to focus on her Hollywood projects with Higher Ground Productions. This decision, according to sources, created a major rift between the two.

Beyond real estate, the couple brings in substantial revenue from book deals, high-profile speaking engagements, and media production partnerships with major platforms like Netflix.
“They are determined to settle everything quietly before making an official statement,” a source familiar with the situation said. “Neither of them wants a public, dragged-out legal battle.”

As rumors swirl, many are watching closely to see whether the former first couple will break their silence on the matter
