Investor: Putin could be world’s richest man with stolen $200B fortune

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Vladimir Putin might be the richest man on earth.

The Russian president stole billions from his country’s war chest and stashed it away in secret accounts, according to a man who was once that country’s largest foreign investor.
Bill Browder, CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, estimates Putin’s net worth at $200 billion. That would make Putin more than twice as wealthy as Bill Gates, who, with a fortune of $79.2 billion, is the world’s richest person.

“The amount of money that hasn’t been spent on [Russian] schools and roads and hospitals and so on, all that money is in property, Swiss bank accounts, shares, hedge funds,” Browder said.

judging by his 75%+ approval rating over there, I'd say they're not.

NATO and Israel are sure as hell getting sick of his shit though. shit as in not letting NATO and Israel get away with whatever shit they feel like getting away with.

Do you mean the approval rating reported by the Russian government controlled media? Because they don't have freedom of press over there.
