It is tempting to compare the fortunes of two of the most powerful men in modern history, Russian president Vladimir Putin and South African-born entrepreneur Elon Musk. Both have amassed great wealth, in terms of both money and influence, but many questions remain unanswered about which one can make the bigger claim to wealth and power. So, does Putin have more money than Musk?<\/p>\n

A definite answer, as it turns out, is all but impossible. Putin is, of course, a public figure, run by a government and, subsequently, he is not required to disclose his net worth. For Musk, however, his financial data has been scrutinised, and it is believed that he is worth around $186 billion.<\/p>\n

Experts suggest that, while it is impossible to know Putin’s financial status in solid figures, his net worth is believed to be at least twice as high as Musk’s. Estimates peg Putin’s wealth at around $400 billion dollars – making him around four times wealthier than Musk. This money is believed to be stored in secret offshore holdings.<\/p>\n

Much of Putin’s wealth is likely to be sourced from lucrative contracts and land deals stemming from his two decades of dominance over Russia’s political scene. Much of the money which flows through the nation’s oil and gas industries also finds its way to the pockets of Putin’s ruling circle. <\/p>\n
