Michelle Obama says life in the White House wasn’t as glamorous as it seemed—she had to cover her own food costs and daily expenses. She shared the financial challenges her family experienced, noting that many expenses—like travel—weren’t covered if the President wasn’t accompanying you. The Obamas landed a $65 million book deal, invested in luxury real estate, and Michelle earns up to $225,000 per speech.
