Current President of Russia Vladimir Putin has an estimated net worth of $75 billion in 2013. He has been serving the post since May 7, 2012. Since 2008, he has been serving as the Chairman of political party, United Russia.
From 1999 through 2000, Putin served as Russia’s Prime Minister. A year later, he became the country’s president, a position he held until 2008. During the 2008 presidential election, Dmitry Medvedev won as President. He appointed Putin as Prime Minister, a position he held from 2008 through 2012. Putin again became President in May of 2012.
Under his administration as the country’s president, Putin passed into law new legal and land codes, reduced tax profits, and implemented a flat 13% income tax. He is also known to support the defence and nuclear industries.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was born on October 7, 1952 in Leningrad, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. He was an alumnus of Leningrad State University. He has been married to Lyudmila Putina since 1983. He has two children named Yekaterina and Mariya.
He puts Al Gore and Bill Clinton to shame all of them have made money on their office not just Putin.
Income inequality. Perhaps Obama will do something. /sarc
Wow, he's almost as rich as that US Commie, Billie Boy gates. I guess selling your soul to the devil can be profitable.
But, only for the short term.
Gore and Clinton traded more on their fame. Putin got it the way most corrupt pols get it. He worked with cronies to steal from the people.
That is the way Obama and the democrats steal money from the people. Cronyism.
Once your country loses it’s moral authority, that country can no longer take the world stage to stop bad events that are happening.
Same reason that our Congress won’t stop Obama. They also engage in the immoral practices our current regime does, maybe a smaller scale, but the same sin.
I am not speaking of moral equivalence. Right now, as we speak, the US is a shameful nation. If you are unable to face reality, then you need to calm down.
Reality right now is that the US is run by the most corrupt regime in our history.
You are wasting your breath picking on conservatives. We are for America. Our President is not. HE IS NOT, going to do anything militarily, so face the facts. He really cares not for Ukraine either. He cares about his power and the people he represents, which is not the American people.
We are 4 years away from stopping Putin. IMO, I do not want Obama acting as CIC of a new war. He is not qualified for that.
I'm not picking on conservatives. I'm often attacking Putin. Some "conservatives" take exception because they see attacks on Putin as support for Obama, which is absurd.
When you think about Obama as CIC, think about Benghazi. All behind our back and a failure and deceit of monstrous proportion.
Obama cannot be trusted on anything. I worry far more about what he is doing and will do to us. He is the enemy inside the gates. Each day people watch and wait for what new deceit and destruction the O regime will dish out.
That should be what puts a chill up your spine.
Too many things exist that are wrong about Obama and his leadership. I agree. How that means that Putin and his scheming and expansionism are okay is beyond me.
I am not saying it is okay. I say it is a natural result of having a _resident like Obama. Putin may be a lot of things, but he is certainly not stupid. He has observed and knows how Obama operates. He knows Obama does a lot behind the backs of American citizens. That gives Putin a real edge. He can usually be ready for what Obama plans next. On the surface, Obama pretends he is all for America, but Putin knows he is not.
It is either that or there is a possibility Obama is helping Putin. Either way, someone loses. And you know who that is.
