Believed to be the wealthiest man in the world. Hermitage Capital Management CEO
Bill Browder, who invested heavily in Russia in the 1990s and subsequently became an outspoken critic of Putin, stated that Putin has amassed a fortune of roughly $200 billion spread across a vast network of accounts and revenue streams. Though difficult to verify, this would make Putin wealthier than Amazon CEO
Jeff Bezos and
Bill Gates combined (2018).
