Barack Obama | House Tour | His $11.75 Million Massachusetts Mansion

Barack Obama, who's best known for breaking barriers, is the first African-American president of the United States. From 2009 to 2017, he was the 44th president of the U.S. of A. Obama has been able to snag some pretty fancy real estate in Washington and Edgartown, along with his former home in Honolulu. While the Obamas were not wealthy for much of their adult lives, they first became millionaires around 2005, thanks to book royalties, as Barack entered the political spotlight. Upon leaving office, Barack and Michelle rented a mansion in Washington, D.C., while their We'll take a look at Obama's $8.1 million mansion they purchased to snag the rental, along with their $14.9 million property on Martha's Vineyard. The property features a 7,000-square-foot main home and 29 oceanfront acres of land. Barack Obama first gained national attention when he gave the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. On February 10, 2007, Barack announced he was running for president of the United States. He eventually faced off against Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination. He won the nomination then, with Joe Biden as his vice president, defeated John McCain to win the presidency. Between 1991 and 2004, Barack never earned more than $30,000 for his work as a professor and state representative. The majority of the Obama family income during this time came from Michelle's lucrative salary as a lawyer, working primarily for the University of Chicago hospital system. In 2005, Barack's income jumped to $157,000 when he became a U.S. Senator. In the same year, Michelle earned $273,000. However, because of his keynote address in 2004, the Obamas' combined salary jumped from $240,000 in 2000 to $5.5 million in 2009. In 2017, we do know that the Obamas received a $65 million book advance from multiple books and media projects. After leaving the White House, they have made even more money from book advances and are now highly sought after public speakers. Now as a result of the Obamas making bank, they have been able to snag some pretty luxurious places throughout the United States.

Now the Obamas did not have a lot of money growing up, but this cozy little home served as the former president's home base from 1964 to 1967. This was also Obama's only single family dwelling in the US during his formative years. The house is one block from UH Manoa, which is where his mother studied. It was walking distance to nearby elementary schools, private schools, parks, and shopping. The unit was 1,900 square feet plus 334 square feet covered lanai. The second is a cottage that comes complete with a 292 square foot studio and one bathroom. There's a separate unit for guests or rental income, and the cottage can be entered from Walu-Way. President Obama purchased the home he was previously leasing for $22,000 a month in the upscale neighborhood of Calorama in Washington, D.C.

Hidden in the house is an attic bedroom with a small modern en-suite bathroom and closet. When the Obamas purchased the home, it was fully updated and move-in ready. The kitchen was modernized with stunning countertops and great appliances, along with the bathrooms which featured marble tiling and countertops, so no renovations required. The master bedroom gives a private, elegant and calm ambience and features a wall of windows that let in plenty of natural light.
