What's more, her daughter Sasha Obama has a pretty incredible living situation. The 20-year-old has her own suite in the house, including her very own living room.

"Sometimes we’re outside if the weather permits, but we’ve developed this routine, you know, we don’t really worry about seeing one another in the day."
