Happy early christianday to everybody, especially those who don't celebrate it! If you're on the fence, definitely switch to christian asap; I recommend it. 5/5 star rating. If unfamiliar with it, this holiday forces the lazy Giftman to rightfully surrender over to you (BY LAW!) the nice gifts that he's been selfishly hoarding and playing with all year. Some of them even have Giftman's stench still on them.

Has an estimated net worth of $100 Billion or more.

Vladimir Putin is certainly one of the richest people in the world and he has accumulated almost his entire net worth through his investments in Oil and gas. Even though he has net worth more than that of bill gates he isn’t listed in the Forbes list of richest people as Forbes doesn’t list dictators and influential people who have gained money through their political ties.

According to an article published by alux Vladimir Putin has earned a staggering $250 Billion through his investment in Gazprom, Surgutneftegas, and Gunvor. His 1.5% stake in Gazprom is worth a cool $150 Billion whereas Gunvor’s 50% and Surgutneftegas 37% is almost worth about $80 Billion and $20Billion respectively. However, his salary is disturbingly low for being a Billionaire. He earns approximately about $187,000 per annum and has only $179,000 stored in the bank.
