I was wondering how much they made from his book. $3 million is a lot of money, but doesn't seem enough to keep up their lavish lifestyle. The evening dresses that Michelle wears typically start at $5,000 each. What is the value of Michelle's wardrobe? I'd be curious to now. Thanks for pointing that out.

What about the Obamas? Neither of them have the income to afford that level of dressing. That level of dressing requires at least a $150,000 investment each year. To pull that off, you need Cindy McCain levels of income. The President only makes $400,000 plus an expense account of $50,000. Their daughters’ elite school, Sidwell Friends starts at $30,000 per kid. (It’s nice. I frequently used to walk by it when I lived in Upper Georgetown.)" Keep in mind that they are also bringing in money from the President's book sales. From HuffPo: "The White House released the filings for both the President and the First Lady on Wednesday. Combined, the family brought in an adjusted gross income of $2,656,902, mostly from the sale of the President's books. The Obamas paid $855,323 in federal income tax. Still, that's not a ton of money (relatively, of course). Oh, I recently read Going Rogue. It was actually really good. “The only problem is that the Reagans clearly had the money to spend on those clothes. What about the Obamas?
