Mena: I think Vladimir Putin is probably worth $50 billiom not $200 billion because he have to pay, bribe and buy a lot of businessmen, politicians, Officers and spies to stay in power in Russia. Russia is a very mineral rich country. Putin is an ex KGB agent and a very smart and powerful politicians. The Western media always exagerate the wealth of the enemy of the West. Egyptian Pres Hosni Mubarack was suppose to be worth $100 billion and we found out later he wasnt that rich.
