A "heated auction" for the rights to publish two books, one by Barack and one by Michelle Obama, ended in a reported $60 million deal with Penguin Random House, according to the BBC.
The number is not confirmed, but whether it's a little less or a little more, it can accurately be described as a f#$king s#*tload.
No wonder Obama looked so happy in New York City a week ago.
According to fake news organization The New York Times, the advance negotiated by the Obamas will dwarf those of similar public figures.
