Lately, Obama has been doing just that, first visiting Palm Springs with his entire family, then vacationing with former First Lady Michelle Obama on Sir Richard Branson's private-island paradise, Necker Island. Now it seems he's continuing his post-presidential extravaganza in French Polynesia.
On March 15, Obama arrived in Tahiti by way of private jet. Shortly after landing, he boarded a private plane to The Brando, a luxury resort on Tetiaroa, a Polynesian atoll 30 miles north of Tahiti, a place that was once the go-to vacation spot of the island's royalty and was later purchased by actor and director Marlon Brando as a personal retreat in the 1960s. The Brando is an eco-luxe resort that's entirely self-sustainable — it uses solar energy and coconut oil for power while sea water contributes to the resort's air conditioning system, among other eco-friendly features.
Obama will be staying in French Polynesia for the next month or so, mainly to work on his memoir, which will reportedly be worth $60 million. It's not certain if he'll be visiting some of the other nearby islands while he's there or be joined by his wife (whose memoir is also part of the $60 million deal) — we just hope he continues to work on those sweet kitesurfing skills.
