Former President Barack Obama is a busy guy.
From speaking at events around the world to writing a memoir and, most recently, signing a massive production deal with Netflix, the Obamas' lives after the White House have been full and very lucrative.
These endeavors - along with the six-figure pension all former presidents receive - have significantly contributed to the Obamas' estimated net worth of $40 million.
From the time he joined the US Senate in 2005 to the end of his presidency, Obama made $20 million alone from his presidential salary, book royalties, and investments, Forbes reported.
