Rumor confuses property Obamas rented with one they currently own
1.
A fact check has debunked rumors circulating in August 2025 claiming former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama sold their Martha's Vineyard home to businessman Les Wexner, who previously employed Jeffrey Epstein as a money manager. The rumor, which gained significant traction on social media platforms including Facebook and X, incorrectly stated that the Obamas sold a property for $37 million to Wexner. Property records confirm this information is inaccurate and stems from confusion between two different properties.
