On one side, there’s the world’s richest man and the first from a
developing country with net worth of $69 billion, Carlos Slim Helu who
doesn’t believe in conspicuous consumption and lives in modest home with
no interest in flashy super yachts, cars, jets or palatial house across
the globe.
On the other hand, here’s the Russian President Vladimir V. Putin who
is rumored to be among the world’s wealthiest men, with a fortune worth
tens of billions, which he of-course denies. Born in a middle class
Soviet family, Putin who also once compared ruling Russia to being a
‘galley slave’ reportedly lives a ‘king-size’ lifestyle with access to
Presidential perks including four grand yachts, 20 homes with opulent
fittings, 58 aircrafts with one Russian-made Ilyushin Presidential jet
with a $75,000 toilet, not to forget Putin’s ultra-expensive watch
collection worth $700,000.

“I have worked like a galley slave throughout these eight years,
morning till night,” said President Putin to media in 2008. However, the
$2.5 billion a year lifestyle unraveled in the report titled ‘The Life
of Galley Slave’ by the opposition parties says otherwise.
Vladimir Putin’s Homes & Palaces
This alleged Russian President has a total of 20 palatial residences,
including the recent mysterious $950 million outlandish Italianate
palace located on the Black Sea coast. Other palaces include Constantine
Palace, a Czarist-era estate on the Gulf of Finland, a ski lodge in the
Caucasus Mountains, and a Gothic revival palace in the Moscow region,
to name a few.
And, President Putin’s fleet of 58 aircrafts include 15 helicopters,
along with 43 other aircrafts, including two Dassault Falcon executive
jets, an Airbus, and an Ilyushin Il-96 airliner that features an
$18-million cabin fitted out by jewelers from the monastery town of
Sergiyev Posad, and a $75,000 toilet.
700 Ultra-luxurious vehicles
And, the President’s road commuting is handled by a fleet of some 700
ultra-luxurious vehicles, including some of the world’s most expensive
cars.
Further, out of the four luxury yachts, one was a ‘gift’ from an
affluent Russian billionaire, and the other 53.7-metre yacht comes with a
designer interior, a spa pool, wine cellar and waterfall.
Notably, all of the photographs and figures in the much-talked about
report comes from the public sources. However, this report doesn’t
mentions that many of the properties it lists as presidential
residencies also serve money-making functions, when the President is not
staying there.
Interestingly, the Russian public opinion has mixed views about this official corruption.
Russian President’s official salary has been listed as $115,000,
which is almost six times the worth of his watch collection of $700,000,
which includes some of the world’s most expensive
