While the rest of the Democrats fight to impeach Trump, or at least beat him in next year’s election, and the rest of the world despairs every time the idiot does something like glance at the heavens and declare himself “the chosen one”, the Obamas are living the high life.

In all fairness, they’ve earned it. Running that country can’t be easy.

According to New York Magazine, Barack and Michelle are buying this massive $14,85 million (roughly R225 million) mansion belonging to Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, and located in Martha’s Vineyard.

In 2017, a spokesman for the Obamas denied that they were looking to buy on the Massachusetts island that they visited each year during his presidency. But it appears that the recent stay this summer in Grousbeck’s home changed their minds.

The almost-7,000-square-foot house is located on a pond outside Edgartown, one of the island’s six villages. According to the real-estate listing, the mansion has “7 bedrooms, 8 baths, multiple entertaining spaces including a vaulted ceiling living room with stone fireplace, a Chef’s kitchen, and formal dining room surrounded by a wall of windows,” in addition to a pool, a jacuzzi, a garden, a private beachfront, and a boathouse.

The monthly cost of the house, assuming a standard 30-year loan, is listed at a staggering $63,969.

The couple recently signed a $65 million book deal with Penguin Random House so I’m pretty sure they can afford it.
