Somehow on a Russian politician salary he’s become the wealthiest man in the world.

Go figure.

He must be quite a genius.

Not a corrupt kleptocrat who stayed in power decades.

We think Clinton and Biden and Pelosi et Al are corrupt.

Putin makes them look like pikers.

Russia's GDP in 2024 is estimated to be $2.184 trillion in nominal terms and $6.909 trillion in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. The country's GDP growth is expected to be 3.6% in 2024, which is similar to the 3.6% growth in 2023. Here are some other GDP-related statistics for Russia in 2024:

GDP per capita: $14,953 in nominal terms and $47,299 in PPP terms
GDP rank: 11th in nominal terms and 4th in PPP terms Inflation rate: 7.9% annual percent change Unemployment rate: 2.6%

The Russian government's forecast for 2024 GDP growth is 3.9%, which is higher than the 3.6% growth in 2023. This is due to increased military-industrial production and budget injections. However, some say that the economy has reached the limit of its production capabilities and that growth will slow in 2024

“Not a corrupt kleptocrat who stayed in power decades.”

The vast majority of country leaders are corrupt kleptocrats today.

Prior to 100 years ago, nearly all of them were corrupt kleptocrats. Now, a few are not.
