Report: Joe Biden’s Presidential Memoir Sells for $10 Million

Amy Furr 24 Jul 2025

Former President Joe Biden (D) will reportedly receive a $10 million advance for his memoir about his four years leading the nation.

Biden sold the title to the Hachette Book Group but its publisher, Little, Brown, & Company, has not set a date for publication. Biden has said he is “working my tail off” writing his book, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Wednesday.

According to the article, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama made significantly more on their book deals:

    Penguin Random House acquired the rights to books by former U.S. President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama in 2017 for a price that was widely reported at the time as being in the range of $60 million. President Trump didn’t publish a memoir after his first term in office. Alfred A. Knopf, which like Penguin Random House is owned by Bertelsmann, paid $15 million for President Bill Clinton’s 2004 memoir “My Life.”

Biden and his wife, former First Lady Jill Biden, were reportedly weighing a $30 million tell-all book deal in May, per Breitbart News. Money was reportedly a factor in their decision because son Hunter was millions of dollars in debt due to legal fees surrounding federal cases, his art sales taking a dive, and a memoir that apparently did not fly off the shelves.

In 2021, sales of Hunter Biden’s confessional book, Beautiful Things, plummeted after an early surge in its first week, Breitbart News reported at the time:

    If the famous maxim ‘any press is good press’ applied to Hunter, his book should have been a tremendous success. Hunter talked about his book with prominent “news” outlets and late-night talk show hosts. The memoir received overall positive reviews from corporate media critics. Moreover, the Daily Mail published a report that brought the “laptop from hell” back to haunt Hunter, with revelations on how he squandered millions on his salacious and drug-addled lifestyle, a part of his life covered by his memoir.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In other words, a $10 million payoff to the former President is being laundered through Hachette Book Group for services rendered while in office.

It's not a book as you think it is.

It is actually a collection of drooled-upon napkins and ice cream holders bound in a handsome Depends packaging.

I think it will be a very interesting book that I plan to buy and read./s

It will expound on how he advised Lincoln. Fought in WWII to avenge his great uncle that was cannibalized. Was a resident of every state he was in and went to every church/mosque/temple in the world.  It will also include details of how Beau was killed in Iraq, I'm sure. Oh, and the fire that consumed his house and how he and Jill recovered.

I can't wait.

Exactly...probably promised when he withdrew from the 2024 election

A hashtag on X: #JoeBidenBookQuotes

Here's a selection:

So, my father says to me, and this is God’s truth, I’m not kidding, he says to me, ‘Joey, you’re going to law school, because the lawyer with the briefcase can steal more money than the man with the gun.’ And you know what? He was right!

And then, while I was sitting with Frankie (that's what FDR told me to call him), watching the latest episode of Breaking Bad, he turned to me and said, 'Joey, you've got to beat that rat-bastard Donald Trump. The world is counting on you to stop him.'

Anyway, they threw me in a cell with Mandela, who seemed pretty demoralized about the prospect of ever getting out. I told him, "It always seems impossible until it's done." Nelson paused. Embracing me, he said, "Thanks, Big Guy. You have lifted my spirits."

Neil (Armstrong) looked at me and said “Joe I’m scared I can’t do it, you need to be the one who goes” and I said “look pal you’re going to fly that rocket because I was raised in a black church and they need me in the senate not whizzing around the moon”

I got a giggle out of this. Mr. M is thinking of running a marathon in Scranton, Pa., and talked to a fellow he knows who has run it. Turns out the guy is from the Scranton area and has some inside knowledge. Part of the race is along Biden St., formerly known as Spruce St.

 Mr. M's friend explains that no one in Scranton calls it Biden St. They either call it Spruce St. or Let's Go Brandon St.  :silly:

Pick it up off the remainder pile. Spray glue the center pages together. Cut out the outline of your favorite device to hide (small firearms are good). Glue back pages to glued together core. You have a stash book no one is going to actually pull down and read.
