200 billion dollar property... 700 million dollar jet... The world's richest politician is terrifying!
Although Russian President Vladimir Putin's official annual salary is $140,000, his net worth and lifestyle are different.
An 800-square-foot apartment, a trailer and three cars are in Putin's name. But, the reports keep coming out that he is leading a very luxurious life. Putin's personal fortune is said to be $200 billion. Since the 1990s, everyone from a Russian businessman to a journalist has been reporting astonishing stories about Putin's wealth.
There have been mixed reports about the Black sea mansion allegedly owned by Putin. Perched on a cliff, the mansion is said to have a marble swimming pool adorned with statues of Greek gods, an amphitheater, a state-of-the-art ice hockey rink, a Vegas-style casino, and a nightclub.
The mansion's interior features $500,000 worth of kitchen appliances, a $54,000 bar table, and decorated bathrooms with $850 worth of Italian toilet brushes and $1,250 worth of toilet paper holders. All this costs about $2 million a year to maintain. There is also a 40-member team for maintenance work.
Putin's list of luxuries also includes 19 houses, 700 cars, 58 airplanes and helicopters. There is also reportedly a $716 million jet named "The Flying Kremlin." Putin also owns the $700 million mega yacht Scheherazade.
$60,000 Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar and $500,000 A. Russian President Putin also has a collection of luxury watches, including a Lange & Söhne Tourbograph. Sources say the watches are worth six times Putin's salary.
