When we think of the world’s wealthiest individuals, names like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mukesh Ambani often come to mind. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin surpasses them all with a net worth of approximately $200 billion, or Rs 16,71,877 crore.
Putin’s Modest Official Earnings vs. Lavish Lifestyle
While Putin’s official income is modest, with a reported annual salary of $140,000 (around Rs 1 crore), his lifestyle speaks of extraordinary wealth. He owns far more than the few assets he publicly claims, including an 800-square-foot apartment, a trailer, and three cars.
A Fleet of Luxury Assets
Putin’s real estate portfolio includes 19 properties and a Black Sea mansion known as his “Country Cottage.” His luxurious fleet consists of 700 cars, 58 aircraft, and helicopters. Additionally, he owns the $716 million private jet, “The Flying Kremlin.”
The $700 Million Yacht and Watch Collection
Among his most prized possessions is a $700 million yacht named Scheherazade. Putin is also known for his luxury watch collection, featuring the $60,000 Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar and the $500,000 A. Lange & Sohne Tourbograph.
An Enduring Legacy of Power
Putin’s leadership spans over two decades, making him Russia’s longest-serving leader since Joseph Stalin. His rise from a KGB foreign intelligence officer to the country’s highest office underscores his enduring power.
