The potential divorce of Barack and Michelle Obama could lead to significant financial and legal consequences. Their joint ventures have established a $70 million empire, which includes bestselling memoirs such as ‘Becoming’ and ‘A Promised Land,’ along with their production company, Higher Ground, that has secured a multimillion-dollar contract with Netflix. The division of their $11.75 million estate in Martha’s Vineyard and their $8.1 million home in Washington, D.C. could become contentious in the absence of a prenuptial agreement. Should negotiations falter, experts predict that legal expenses could reach millions. Despite the ongoing speculation, neither Obama has publicly addressed the rumors regarding their relationship.
