Biden, a lifelong dirtbag ‘honest’ politician bragged about being the poorest Senator often. Yet he has several homes, vacay spots - the works and trappings of a multi-multi millionaire. And he didn’t get all that from selling a damn book.

Not including room and board at the Kremlin.

Equivalent to a 5 star hotel.

And what ruler of any industrialized nation isn’t getting kick backs?

Biden and Putin. Birds of a feather.

Quite possibly true, since owning personal wealth isn't how their system works. In Moscow, it's what you control that makes you rich. Only if you want to leave Moscow and play in the West does money matter.

Many CEOs only make $1 in salary a year, but they seem to do okay living off the other perks.

Elon Musk says he’s probably not the richest man in the world: ‘Putin is significantly richer than me’
“Elon Musk may be the world’s richest man in theory, but he’s under no illusion that he actually holds the title.”

But Putin denies such allegations, only admitting to a different form of riches. “I am the wealthiest man, not just in Europe but in the whole world: I collect emotions. I am wealthy in that the people of Russia have twice entrusted me with the leadership of a great nation such as Russia. I believe that is my greatest wealth,” he reportedly said.

As long as it’s not coming out of my pocket, (unlike Zelensky), I don’t give a hoot.

He's likely made a lot less than Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama.

The difference is that his policies have actually dramatically increased the standard of living for his citizens during his time office. Compare that to Americans living under Biden, who have seen an 11% drop in wages when adjusted for inflation.

Well, that $606,000 was worth $24 million when this whole thing started.

Well he’s sort of telling the truth. He makes his big money from his Gazprom holdings worth a few billion.

What disappointing news. Heads of state -- and all likely corrupt to one degree or another -- rake in some cash, with comments herein suspicious that the reported amount is too low.

But only a week ago this sorts of threads were busy with those Russian energy plants up in flames, until it turns out some of ours are up in flames. And with it, any notion that Russia alone suffers from energy issues and producing problems.

And then before that, the beautiful egg stories, after which the old avian flu caught up with a bunch of US producers and the egg thing didn't seem so important and limited in scope rather than a worldwide thing.

Gosh, by golly and gee whiz, sounds like the REAL takeaway from so many comments in this thread and those like it would be "government is the problem, not the solution."

Governments and their leaders ARE the problem, there, here and everywhere. Degrow government.
