Is Vladimir Putin actually a billionaire?
The legend was that he has the equivalent of $200 billion dollars American. My local news said that the sanctions won’t effect him much because he only makes $100,000+ as President of Russia.
Can someone please fact check this for Fluther?
Also if Vladimir Putin is a billionaire where did he get it?
