Reports from RadarOnline suggest that Barack and Michelle Obama have secretly agreed to divide their $70 million fortune, prompting speculation about an impending divorce. The alleged agreement details a division of assets, with Michelle retaining the family home in Chicago and Martha's Vineyard, as well as control of their production company. Barack would keep the Washington mansion and a share of future Hollywood earnings. They would also split their investment portfolio.
The official announcement is reportedly expected after the summer. Michelle's recent absence from significant political events, including Donald Trump's second inauguration and Jimmy Carter's funeral, has added fuel to the speculation. Her recent comments about newfound freedom and aversion to politics on a podcast seemed to contradict the rumors.
Michelle Obama has addressed the rumors, stating that her recent withdrawal from the public eye is due to her desire to prioritize her own needs and pursue her own choices, rather than feeling pressured to fulfill expectations.
