The fact may be that Democrats are better at capitalizing on their time in office than Republicans. The video is very inaccurate. The Obamas made most of their money after Barack left office. Michelle's books made millions. Barack's books made millions. Speaking engagements made millions.
Barack Obama
Before: $1.3 million
After: $70 million
The Obamas entered the White House as millionaires, but only barely, according to a report from American University in Washington, D.C. Upon leaving, they leveraged their remarkable life stories, their impressive writing and oratory skills, and most importantly, their enormous celebrity to land massive book deals and speaking tours. Along the way, they built a brand that is now worth $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The American University report predicts that the Obamas are just getting started and will be worth $242.5 million when all is said and done, if they play their cards rights.
Same with the CLintons:
" Bill and Hillary Clinton, who left the White House in debt, earned more than $240 million over the next 15 years, the bulk of it from high-paid speeches and blockbuster book deals."

Oh the Bush clan too.
