Putin’s Lavatory Is Worth $75,000

Vladimir Putin is probably the richest ‘slave’ in the world.

Vladimir Putin once called himself a ‘galley slave’ who poured blood and sweat to toil for the Russian people. If so, he is probably the richest ‘slave’ in the world. According to a report, Putin has at his disposal 20 palaces and villas, a fleet of 58 aircraft, many yachts worth some 3 billion roubles (about $93 million), a watch collection worth 22 million roubles and several top-class Mercedes cars. Titled The Life of a Galley Slave, the report also has photographs of each of his palaces, watches and aircraft. Among them is an island in the centre of Lake Valdai, where stands a 930 hectare estate serviced by a 1,000-strong staff. It includes a presidential church, swimming pool, two restaurants, a movie theatre and a bowling alley. Putin’s nearly two dozen official residences stand in sharp contrast with those provided to other heads of state—two for the leaders of the US and Germany, and three for the president of Italy.
