Russian President Vladimir Putin claims he has earned less than $1 million during the past six years as president, according to financial documents published Tuesday by Russia's election authority.

The documents from the Central Election Commission (CEC) show Putin reported making 67.6 million rubles, which is approximately $753,000, between 2018 and 2024. Along with his salary as president, this figure includes income from bank deposits, a military pension and money made from property sales.

-snip-

According to information Putin provided to the CEC, he has savings of 54.5 million rubles ($606,000) spread across 10 different bank accounts and owns a few automobiles. These vehicles are listed as two vintage Soviet Unions cars—GAZ M-21s—manufactured in the 1960s, a Russian-made 4X4 from 2009 and a 1987 camping trailer.

The documents also show Putin owns an apartment and garage in St. Petersburg, as well as an apartment in Moscow. Not listed are other properties believed to belong to Putin, such as a summer house in Sochi, a home on the Black Sea coast dubbed "Putin's Palace" and a recently documented luxurious estate on a bay near Russia's border with Finland.

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?

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.”

ESPECIALLY with all that UNAUDITED Ukraine money lining the pockets of Democrats.

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.

President of Russia 67.6 million rubles.

There is entirely too much quoting such things in USD. Not valid for most countries, certainly not Russia. The conversion is taken from currency exchange markets, and all of them reside in countries hostile to Russia. No reason to believe such numbers.

The correct conversion would be in kilos of fish, or vegetables or meat. Some universal food, everyone eats.
