Politicians - Obamas' 2005 household income
Politics seems to pay pretty well...
The website, ChicagoBusiness.com, reports:
"(AP) — For the Barack Obama household, 2005 was a very good year.
Not only was Obama sworn in as a freshman U.S. senator, but he reaped big bucks from book deals and his wife got her own promotion and hefty pay raise, as their total reported household income surpassed the total from seven previous years combined.
According to joint tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service and released to the Associated Press, the Obamas, with their two girls, had $1.67 million in total income last year — about $70,000 more than the total for all of 1998 through 2004."
