How much President Putin and PM Medvedev have declared and how rich they live

Fortune is a little bit like speed in the theory of relativity. When it approaches the speed of light, certain things around it (time, space, what you can buy for your money, your tax declarations) gets warped around and harder to understand.

I think you should always take statements like "This is the 50 richest people on earth" or "This man is worth 10 trillion USD" with a grain of sand. Once you get rich enough that it makes sense to hide your money in tax havens, or use them to influence politicians, you can't really measure them on the same unit as the one you use to buy groceries. It doesn't scale proportionally.

I don't think it's really possible to say how much money a person like Putin or Elon Musk really have. Even if we could see all of their hidden tax shelters. Money really works differently at that level. It's all about what contact you have or what special permits you have from the government.
