The Clinton's have one (although it is a bit tarnished and shop-worn). Now I read that Obama has one too. A foundation. From the London Times:
Obama rests his head in Tuscan villa after sell‑out €3m speech
Barack Obama’s post-presidential holidays are officially over but from the look of his new working routine it’s hard to tell the difference.
Yesterday he arrived in Milan on a private jet and headed straight for the Park Hyatt hotel, where the presidential suite will set you back €8,400 (£7,100) a night. The former US president is in Italy’s business capital to deliver a sold-out speech today. Some 3,500 people have paid €850 each for a ticket, raising nearly €3 million for the Obama Foundation, which was set up to carry on his project of “renewal and global progress”.
That would be about 3.2 Million US dollars. Not too shabby for a day's work and I bet he didn't have to cough up the scratch for the airplane or the hotel room. My question is what does he have to offer? At least Crooked Hillary had political connections and it was easy to follow the deals that went down after the contributions to the Clinton Foundation were made. Barry? Not so much.
