Barack and Michelle Obama Already ‘Dividing $70M in Assets’ as Power Couple Nears Divorce—Insider Reveals!

Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are reportedly moving closer to ending their 32-year marriage, as they quietly work toward dividing their estimated $70 million fortune. If finalized, their separation could make history as the first post-White House divorce between a former president and first lady.

Behind the scenes, lawyers and mediators are negotiating terms to ensure a smooth division of their assets before making the news public. According to sources familiar with the situation, both Barack and Michelle want to avoid a drawn-out legal dispute. They are aiming to resolve financial matters in private before addressing the public later this year.

“They want everything settled in advance,” an insider revealed. “The last thing they want is a messy, drawn-out legal battle filled with publicized court filings.”

Speculation about their relationship troubles has circulated for some time, and it seems the marriage has finally reached a breaking point. Barack, now 63, and Michelle, 61, have been leading increasingly separate lives, fueling rumors that their romance had faded long ago.

A political expert previously suggested that tensions between the couple escalated following Donald Trump’s victory over Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Sources claim that after Joe Biden unexpectedly withdrew from the race in July, Barack strongly encouraged Michelle to run in his place as the Democratic nominee. However, Michelle reportedly refused, opting to focus on her Hollywood ambitions through their joint media company, Higher Ground Productions.

“They had already been living separate lives, often on opposite coasts, but after Michelle declined to run, things became even more strained,” a source shared. “Barack had to throw his support behind Kamala, and when she lost, it was a huge humiliation for him.”

Despite their personal struggles, Barack made a public gesture in January, wishing Michelle a happy birthday on social media. However, insiders suggest that behind closed doors, the marriage was already unraveling, and an official announcement regarding their separation is expected after summer. The delay is reportedly due to the complexity of dividing their vast wealth, which could take months to finalize.

“They have multiple properties, including homes in Washington, D.C., Martha’s Vineyard, and Chicago, along with a stock portfolio worth more than $25 million,” an insider explained. “On top of that, they have revenue streams from their media ventures, book deals, and speaking engagements that need to be fairly divided.”

Ending a marriage that has lasted over three decades is no easy task, but according to those close to the couple, they have come to terms with the fact that maintaining the appearance of a happy marriage is no longer sustainable. Both Barack and Michelle reportedly believe that they will be better off moving forward separately.

“They’ve built an empire together, and unraveling it will take time,” the source added. “But they’re determined to do it in a way that minimizes public drama. At this point, they both know it’s for the best.”
