Russian President Vladimir Putin’s official income rose by 1 million rubles (roughly $15,000) in 2015, according to his annual declaration of property and earnings. It brings his total annual pay to 8.9 million rubles ($133,000), the Interfax news agency reported Friday.
The Russian leader also declared a modest 1500 square meters of land, a 77 square meter apartment and a garage. He also has the use of a state-owned apartment with its own parking space.
The amount of property officially owned by the president has not changed since 2014. He also declared three vehicles: a Soviet GAZ-М-21, a 'Niva' model Lada, and a Skiff boat trailer.
There was no mention of Putin's alleged new $1 billion mansion, or any income from shares or investments.
In 2007, a CIA report estimated Putin's wealth at around $40 billion — a statement on which he declined to comment. He has been named as Forbes' most powerful man for the third year in a row.

Is his income really important? He might not be a dictator, but he seems to have damn near unlimited resources, and it's not like he's releasing his tax records to run for President.

Does that mean he no longer needs the $2 billion in offshore accounts?

Oh no, the Russian Prime Minister is making almost as much as Bernie Sanders!

Is this his official income, or actual income?

Frankly, that's not much for a head of state. He's still taking a huge pay cut if you calculate in dollars compared to what he was making at the start of his presidency I'm guessing. Well, his latest term I mean.

Followed by May90 and his usual subjective drivel without any source criticism. Every bit as predictable, only more... slow. Originally Posted by May90

It seems like every criticism of Putin in these forums is taken as a criticism of Russia.

OP has a proven track record of creating anti-Russian threads. Even his source is biased as fuck. Originally Posted by Garnier Fructis

Wether Putin's "friends" or "associates" needs their offshore accounts is most likely irrelevant. Originally Posted by Hubcap

Clintons wealth increased greatly from being dead broke to a multi billionaire also, hopefully they are looking into that.

It's not like that's a lot. US president makes $400k. Rubles are damn near worthless so 8.9 million might seem like a lot, but it's not.
