Barack Obama Net Worth: A Sneak Peek Into The President’s $19.125M Vacation Home

U.S. President Barack Obama usually spends quality time with his family at the end of the summer or at the start of the school in fall. The first family loves to spend their vacation in one of their favorite destination spots: the Martha's Vineyard, a report from Top Ten Real Estate Deals said.

According to the report, the Obama family usually stays in Chilmark Pond, a private compound considered to be one of the best destination spots in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States.

"A special perk for the president is the half basketball court and home gym. There is a heated infinity pool and a private boat dock on the pond as well as three beachfront lots for enjoying sand and sea.  The 6,967-square-foot main house sits 120 feet above sea level and features six bedrooms and seven baths including a private master suite with its own den. The open floor plan includes pool, pond and ocean views from the chef's kitchen, living room and dining room. There are three fireplaces, custom millwork, marble baths and floor-to-ceiling windows," the report said.

It was said the house was originally built back in 1961 and was redesigned in 2006 by Rick Sundberg, a Seattle-based architect and famous landscape architect Steve Stimson. The house features a contemporary design which is said to be similar to other vacation rentals where the Obama family stayed during winter in Hawaii. The property was originally listed for $22.5 million but has been reduced to $19.125 million.

"This home features gracious skylights, huge windows and wonderful detail in both design and materials. Oak and radiant-heated limestone floors, marble baths, precast concrete fireplace mantles and top quality appliances support a relaxed yet sophisticated experience for residents and guests. Views from the grand entrance encompass the ocean and infinity pool. The foyer leads past an exquisitely appointed dining room to the great room with soaring ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and an oversized wood burning fireplace. The impeccable attention to detail is highlighted in the chef's kitchen with sitting area, fireplace and custom casework," reads a description of the real estate property by listing company Wallace & Co. Sotheby's.

Barack's net worth is around $12.2 million mark, while his wife, Michelle Obama, has a net worth of $11.8 million, Inquisitr said. His earnings also come from his several investments amounting to $180,000 to $482,000.
