A few days ago, Elon Musk admitted that Putin could be richer than him, although his wealth ranks first in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, where he has already detached Jeff Bezos with assets of $270.1 billion for a few months. But where does this theory come from?
It should be noted that the real wealth of the Russian president is not known to anyone, but various more or less reliable theories circulate around according to which Putin on the Black Sea would own a 1.4 billion dollar building, to which is added a well-furnished apartment.
4 million dollars in Monte Carlo. Recently in Italy, a yacht was also seized that according to many would be the same number one as the Kremlin, while Anonymous hacked another Putin yacht and changed its navigation data and coordinates.
Overall, the data that emerged over the years speak of about 19 houses and 700 cars in Putin’s estate, in addition to 58 planes and helicopters including an alleged “Flying Kremlin” worth 716 million dollars complete with a gold toilet.
In 2016 the Panama Papers also talked about agreements and loans for about 2 billion dollars linked to Putin, while in 2017 in the American Senate Bill Browder stated in no uncertain terms that Putin has accumulated 200 billion dollars in illicit earnings.
In short, Musk’s deductions are based on simple theories that have not found official confirmation, and which probably will never find them.
