In addition to more than $300,000 in income from her job as a vice president of community and external affairs at the University of Chicago Medical Center, in 2006 Michelle Obama also earned $51,200 in 2000 from serving on the board of directors of TreeHouse Foods, which provides products and services to the private label and food service industries.
