According to CNN, Penguin Random House, paid the Obamas a $65 million advance for their memoirs. This was a record sum for presidential memoirs in the US. When the news was announced, many critics thought the book deal was sketchy including the current president, Donald Trump, who suggested that an investigation into the Obamas book deal would be a better use of Congress\u2019 powers of oversight power. This was the most lucrative book deal for a presidential memoir thus far, but this could be expected for such an unique president. The terms of the book agreement were not included. The world has been waiting for Former Barack Obama\u2019s memoir since the book deal was announced.<\/p>\n

Book deals are common for presidents to write a memoir upon leaving office. Many former presidents and First ladies have signed book deals to write a memoir upon leaving office.
