Vladimir Putin Net Worth: ‘Rs 67,992 crore mega-yacht, Rs 63,253 crore private jet’ - How rich is the Russian President?

All eyes are set on Russian President Vladimir Putin's two-day trip to India, where he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The visit comes amid India's ongoing tensions with the US following President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on New Delhi for purchasing Russian oil. Given this backdrop, India will now be looking to balance its crucial defence partnership with Moscow while managing its sensitive trade ties with Washington.

As Putin's visit to India becomes a global headline, there is curiosity among people about everything related to the Russian President, including his lifestyle and wealth. There have been contradictory claims about his net worth. So, how rich could Putin be? Let's find out.

The reported wealth of Vladimir Putin

According to Kremlin financial disclosures, Putin's official annual salary is around $140,000. A report by Fortune says that his declared assets include an 800-square-foot apartment, a small trailer, and three cars.

However, according to analysts, defectors, and seasoned observers of Russia, what we see is only a fraction of the real picture.

Back in 2017, Bill Browder, formerly the biggest foreign investor in Russia, told the US Senate Judiciary Committee that, according to him, Putin’s wealth could be $200 billion.

Reported luxury assets of the Russian president

Some unverified reports claim that Putin owns 19 additional residences, 58 aircraft and helicopters, 700 cars, a $716 million plane, and a $700 million mega-yacht. According to reports, the Russian President also owns expensive luxury watches.

However, even with years of reports, leaks, and testimonies, nothing concrete has ever surfaced that legally or directly links Putin to these assets.
