Biography & Early Wealth Journey

President George W. Bush received $7 million for his 2010 book Decision Points, which sold 2.6 million copies, while Bill Clinton received $15 million for his 2001 memoir entitled My Life, which sold 2.2 million copies. Julian Zelizer, a presidential historian from Princeton University, says that sales for an Obama memoir will undoubtedly be higher than both Bush and Clinton's book.

'There is broader fascination with Obama, from conservatives who really hate him as well as liberals who deeply admire what he did,' said Zelizer.

Obama has already written three books, the 1995 international bestselling memoir Dreams of My Father, the 2006 New York Times Bestseller The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, and the 2010 children's book Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters. Those three books combined sold over 4 million copies and earned over $10 million in sales.
