Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Barack Hussein Obama II did not come from wealth. His grandfather was a goat herder, and he was raised by a single mother after his parents divorced nearly three years after he was born. After staying with his mother and stepfather in Indonesia until he was 10, Obama returned to Hawaii and lived with his maternal grandparents. He found his first job working at Baskin-Robbins, and though it wasn’t glamorous, scooping rows and rows of rock-hard ice cream taught him valuable lessons. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and worked as a civil rights attorney, community organizer, lecturer, and professor before entering politics. He’s well known for passing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare, during his presidency. Obama made his fortune post-presidency. Aside from receiving a six-figure pension, he also earns millions from book royalties, speaking engagements, and a Netflix deal.
