President Barack Obama Net Worth: $12.2 Million

Barack Obama's Net Worth
For his day job as president, Barack Obama earned $400,000 a year throughout his entire eight-year term — a salary that incoming president Trump has vowed to forgo. The president also receives a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account and a $19,000 entertainment budget.

On April 15, 2016, President Obama released his 2015 tax returns, which showed that he and First Lady Michelle Obama filed jointly and reported an adjusted gross income of $436,065. They paid $81,472 in taxes according to their 18.7 percent tax rate.

They also donated a total of $64,066 to more than 30 charities.

According to CelebrityNetWorth.com, Mr. Obama has a net worth of $12.2 million and First Lady Michelle Obama is not far behind with a net worth of $11.8 million.

Donald Trump Net Worth: $4.5 Billion

Forbes puts Trump’s net worth at $4.5 billion. He is No. 324 on the worldwide list of billionaires and No. 113 in the United States. Early in his campaign, the Republican president-elect said he was worth in excess of $10 billion, and he reiterated that claim on May 17 when he submitted an updated financial disclosure to the Federal Election Commission.

Born into a wealthy family, Trump inherited about $40 million from his late father, real estate developer Fred Trump, reported Celebrity Net Worth, which tracks celebrity earnings. In 1971, Donald became head of what would later be known as The Trump Organization.

Donald Trump’s earnings and title have since helped him develop over 500 companies. The business mogul has his stake in casinos, skyscrapers, television shows, golf courses, books, merchandise and more.

Despite recent speculation Lionel Messi has insisted that he wishes to remain at Camp Nou for the foreseeable future.

Following interest from Premier League clubs the Barcelona Player insists he will stay at Barcelona for as long as he is wanted.

The Argentina star's future remains the subject of debate given the confusion surrounding talks over a new contract at Camp Nou.

President Josep Maria Bartomeu said last week that he is not concerned about the prospect of failing to agree an extension to Messi's deal, which expires at the end of next season, although some reports in Spain have suggested that the 29-year-old is becoming frustrated with a lack of concrete discussions between the club and his representatives.

Such rumours have led to speculation that Messi could be sold at the end of the season, with clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea reportedly monitoring his situation.

However, when asked whether he would consider moving to England's top flight, Messi told Coach magazine: "I have always said that Barcelona has given me everything and I am here for as long as they want me to be."
Links with City have persisted ever since former Barca boss Pep Guardiola took over as manager, although the Catalan coach has come under increasing scrutiny given his side's inconsistent form, which culminated in a 4-0 loss to Everton on Sunday.

Messi, however, remains confident that Guardiola will be a success in England.

"It is a very competitive league, last season showed that, so it makes it very difficult to predict," he said. "Of course Pep is a very successful coach, he will be adjusting to the league, but I am sure that he will be successful."

Barca remain in the hunt for a treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League this season, although they sit two points behind leaders Real Madrid having played a game more.

Messi claims that there is no single competition that Barca will prioritise in the remaining months of the campaign and admits the prospect of failure is spurring him on.

"At Barcelona we want to win everything," he said. " At the start of the season there is an expectation that we can win everything, we try not to prioritise or make one trophy more important than another

"I hate to lose. It does not just affect me for a few hours after the game, but for longer. I cannot stand the feeling to lose. You can use that to make sure you give everything you need to to win."

One father's joy was another father's heartbreak, after Charles Manigo learned that the girl he raised and believed to be his own daughter for 18 years was really another man's child.

"I named her -- a name I had for a year. Alexis Kelli," Manigo said. "She was the love of my life."

But what Manigo didn't know was that his former girlfriend, Gloria Williams, had allegedly snatched the girl from a maternity ward, and lied when she told him she'd given birth to the baby when he was away. The girl he called Alexis was really Kamiyah Mobley.
Woman Abducted 18 Years Ago as a Newborn Found Living in Another State

Mobley's biological father, Craig Aiken, was overjoyed that she'd finally been found, and said that all those years he and her biological mother would celebrate their daughter's birthday every year and imagine "how it would be if she were here" and "what we would do if she came came back," he said Friday, after officials announced that the girl was now returned to her birth parents.

"I love her," Aiken said. "I'm glad to see her. I love her."

Mobley grew up in Walterboro, South Carolina, thinking that Williams was her biological mother, Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said Friday. He said that she now appears to be a normal 18-year-old woman in good health.

Gloria Williams, 51, is in jail, charged with kidnapping for allegedly taking the newborn from a Jacksonville, Florida, hospital on July 10, 1998.

Manigo and Williams raised her from the time she was a newborn, sharing custody after they split up in 2003, and celebrating milestones together, like her prom, he said.

"The person she called dad for 18 years isn't her dad," Manigo said.

Williams was charged with kidnapping at a bond hearing on Friday in South Carolina. Bail was denied and another bond hearing will be held once she is extradited to Jacksonville, Florida, according to the sheriff's office.

"One of the hardest things she said on Friday was, 'Dad I love you,' even though she knows what's going on," Manigo said.

"I talk to her every day," he said. "The attention is overwhelming to her. She's still processing everything. It's a shock to me, it's a bigger shock to her."

Manigo said that even though he may not be Kamiyah's biological father, he will always be there for her.

"She's still my child," he said. "I understand what's going on, but she's still my child."

We all want to start off the New Year on a high note. The following cars and SUVs are doing just that, as they currently rank at the top of their respective classes in the U.S. News Best Car Rankings.
Mazda3
If you’re looking for an affordable sporty car, the Mazda3 is a smart choice. It’s one of the most fun-to-drive offerings in the compact car segment. It’s also impressive inside, with top-notch materials, comfy seats, and a modern design. The Mazda3’s many strengths helped Mazda earn the Best Car Brand Award for 2016.

Despite the accolades, sales of the Mazda3 fell 11 percent in 2016, and December was particularly bad, registering a 17.6 percent dip in sales from the same period in 2015. Demand for compact cars in general has been weak, as sales were 3 percent lower in December than they were in December of 2015.

Slow demand means now is a great time for savings on the Mazda3. For the best finance and lease rates in your area this month, visit the Mazda deals page. Before you go to the dealership, check out the U.S. News Best Price Program to find the lowest price near you.

Chevy Malibu
The Malibu was fully redesigned in 2016, and thanks to its excellent safety and reliability scores, and family-friendly features and space, we named the 2016 Malibu the Best Midsize Car for Families. Add in its excellent gas mileage and pleasant driving dynamics, and it’s easy to see why the Malibu is the top-ranked midsize car.

Sales have been relatively steady for the Malibu, but demand and prices for the midsize car segment have fallen recently. In fact, 8 percent fewer midsize cars were sold last month than in the same period a year ago. That’s the largest drop of any mainstream class.

Chevy dealers should be willing to negotiate in order to spur sales for the New Year, which could mean hefty savings for you. To find the dealer in your area with the lowest prices, use the U.S. News & World Report Best Price Program. Also, check out this month’s Chevy deals for all the best finance and lease offers.

Ford F-150
Ford isn’t having any trouble selling the F-150. It’s not only the best-selling full-size pickup truck this year; it’s the best-selling vehicle overall in the U.S. That’s not surprising, considering the F-150 has the towing and hauling capability you’d expect of a big truck, along with a roomy and handsome interior, easy-to-use technology, a smooth ride, and top-notch crash test scores.

Even though sales are strong, some other market trends are working in your favor this month. Full-size truck sales declined 3.6 percent last month relative to the same period in 2015, while Ford sales dipped 2.4 percent. Prices for Ford vehicles have also fallen over the past month, while the industry as a whole has experienced inflation.

Those forces could help you find some savings this month on America’s most popular vehicle. Use the U.S. News & World Report Best Price Program to find the dealer in your area with the lowest price. This month’s Ford Deals could net you even more savings.

Honda Ridgeline
Honda reintroduced the Ridgeline for the 2017 model year, and it caters to truck buyers who are more concerned with practicality and civility than prodigious towing or back-country off-roading. While it’s not as rugged as some alternatives, it offers a smooth, carlike ride; a long list of tech features; and excellent bed and in-cabin storage options. It’s currently the top-ranked compact pickup truck.

Prices for Honda vehicles have fallen 0.4 percent in the last year, while the industry as a whole has registered 1.5 percent price growth. Plus, in just the last month, compact pickup truck prices have tumbled 1.1 percent, while prices went up slightly for the rest of the industry.

Falling prices mean now is a great time for savings on the Ridgeline. For the best finance and lease rates in your area this month, visit the Honda deals page. Before you go to the dealership, check out the U.S. News Best Price Program to find the lowest price near you.
