"Right now, I'm actually surprised by how much money I got," Obama said of the more than $20 million he earned between 2005 and 2016.

Obama then chided wealthy individuals for excess, saying, "There's only so much you can eat. There's only so big a house you can have. There's only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it's enough."

"We're going to have to worry about economics if we want to get democracy back on track," Obama continued "We're going to have to consider new ways of thinking about these problems, like a universal income, review of our workweek, how we retrain our young people, how we make everybody an entrepreneur at some level."
