Barack Obama served two terms as the President of the United States, but his 61-year-old wife Michelle has further fueled divorce rumors by talking less of his decisions and ambitions.
The former U.S. first lady, who has been outspoken about her support for her husband’s career now – admitted she’d previously barbed the lofty goal to become president that he ultimately ended up achieving.
She made the remark Wednesday on the latest episode of her podcast IMO, which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson.
Michelle’s jibe came after guest Victoria Monét talked about ambition and being embarrassed to share her dreams to become a singer.
Michelle agreed with the singer’s admission, likening it to Barack’s goals of a presidential run.
‘It’s like my husband,’ the mother-of-two quipped. ‘”I want to be president of the United States.”‘
‘It’s like “no, you might want to keep that to yourself honey,”‘ Michelle said.
The former first lady’s wisecrack will likely spark pushback, given it was Barack’s hard work and ambition that made Michelle one of the most famous and beloved women in the world.
What is Obama’s net worth?
Upon entering office, the Obama’s had an estimated net worth of $1.3 million. By the time Barack handed over the keys to Donald Trump in 2017, his fortune had reportedly skyrocketed to more than $12 million.
The couple have both released memoirs, signed a production deal with Netflix and are regularly engaged to participate in speaking events across the nation.
