With the country finishing up its taxes, the Obamas divulged their household income today, revealing a combined income of $2.7 million last year—significantly less than 2007’s $4.2 million. Most of it came from the president’s books, which raked in a combined $2.5 million. The couple donated $172,000 to charities and paid $855,000 in federal taxes, the Chicago Tribune reports. The Bidens reported making $269,000. (More President Obama stories.)
