Putin's income over the past 10 years

The increase in the income of the first person of the state in 2017 by 2.1 times became the subject of heated discussions in the media and provoked a wave of rumors about an increase in the salaries of officials, which is not true. What then does the President's salary consist of?

Income is made up of:

official salary;
income from bank deposits.

Moreover, the salary of the President and the pension of a retired colonel have not changed significantly. But the number of bank accounts increased from 10 to 13 - the amount of balances on them increased from 5.7 to 13.8 million rubles.

According to RBC, the Russian leader received about 10 million rubles. profits from the sale of a land plot of 1,500 m 2 . This conclusion is confirmed by the latest property declaration, in which there is no information about the land, which previously belonged to Putin.

Otherwise, the list of the Russian leader's property has remained unchanged over the past few years. He owns:

apartment in St. Petersburg with a total area of 77 m 2 ;
garage in St. Petersburg - 18 m 2;
2 rare cars GAZ-21M (1960 and 1965);
Niva VAZ-2121 (2009);
car trailer "Skif".

In addition, the head of state has an apartment in Moscow (153.7 m 2), which was equipped in accordance with Putin's wishes, as well as a garage place in St. Petersburg (18 m 2), in perpetual use of the head of state.

The leader of the state does not have his own profitable business. The only confirmation of participation in commercial organizations is the information in the declaration on the ownership of 230 shares of Bank Saint Petersburg.

Experts estimate the collection of watches, consisting of 11 exhibits, at 22 million rubles. But there is no official information about the ownership of such jewelry.

What is the salary of Putin

It is wages that the President calls the main source of income, but at the same time does not voice specific figures. During interviews and debates, he answers evasively to questions about earnings, explaining that the purpose of his presidential activity is not to receive increased income, but the accrued money is simply transferred to a bank card.

There is no official information about the salary of the head of state and is freely available, not advertised on the Kremlin's websites. Therefore, according to RBC, any figures are estimated.

At the same time, Decree of the President of the Russian Federation N 655 of June 25, 2002 was published in the Garant system, which regulates the growth of monetary remuneration for persons who hold public office in the Russian Federation. It is this document that indicates the salary of the President, as of 2002, in the amount of 63,000 rubles.

After that, the remuneration of the head of state increased 10 times, which in total increased the salary by 11.77 times, including 1.04 times from 01/01/2018. Prior to this, the salaries of statesmen have not increased since April 2014, when it was legally approved growth by 2.65 times.

However, the impact of the crisis forced the leader of the state to make a decision in 2015 to reduce the remuneration of the head of the Russian Federation, the government, the prosecutor general, ministers and other high-ranking officials by 10%. The discount decree is renewed annually. At the end of 2017, by Presidential Decree N 494, the maintenance of officials was reduced by 10% until the end of 2018.

Having carried out simple mathematical calculations (60,000 * 11.77 - 10%), we can conclude that Putin's salary in 2018 will be 667,347 rubles. per month or 8,008,165 rubles. in year.

Until the last increase between 2015 and 2017. inclusive, the head of the Russian Federation, taking into account the downward "discount", earned 641,679 rubles. per month or 7,700,158 rubles. in year.

In addition, Putin V.V. has the right to social guarantees:

state protection;
immunity;
life insurance;
maintenance of assistants;
free government communications;
free use of VIP lounges for officials at railway stations and airports.

These privileges remain after the end of the presidential term. To these are added lifetime possession of a state dacha and a pension, regardless of age, in the amount of 75% of the presidential salary.

How much do heads of state earn

To complete the picture, it is worth comparing the salary of Putin V.V. with the earnings of the heads of other states.

In dollar terms, the President of Russia, according to RBC, earned about $153,000.

Petro Poroshenko, the President of Ukraine, earned UAH 336,000 in 2017. or 12.77 thousand dollars of salary. However, his official income increased by 4 times over the year and amounted to UAH 16.3 million. or $619.4 thousand.

US President Donald Trump earns $1 a year, as he has officially waived the $400,000 presidential salary.

Quote. “By law, I am still required to receive at least a dollar a year, so let it be a dollar,” D. Trump.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is a public person, and therefore the population is interested in a considerable amount of information about him. In particular, one of the most common questions is the salary of the president, which is of interest to many people who want to know how much he earns and what assets V.V. Putin owns in the Russian Federation and abroad. So, what is the monthly salary of the head of state?

How much does a president earn

At the post of President of the Russian Federation, as in any other job, there is an official salary. Moreover, the head of state, members of his administration, representatives of the State Duma, the Cabinet of Ministers and other parts of the bureaucracy are required to annually declare their income, just like other citizens. Therefore, the president's salary is not hidden information, and from time to time Putin himself shares this information with the inhabitants of the Russian Federation. Therefore, his income is not some deep secret.

Over the past 3 years, Putin's salary has been constantly changing. In 2018 and 2019, a corresponding decree was issued that regulated the income of both the president himself and members of his administration, as well as the prime minister of the Russian Federation, D. A. Medvedev. Thus, over the past 3 years, the head of state has earned the following amounts:

in 2017, the estimated salary of the president was at around $10,000;
2018 has become more profitable for the head of state and the prime minister of the Russian Federation. Then a decree was issued to increase the wages of senior officials by 2.6 times. The final average salary of the president was approximately 280,000 rubles;
As for the current year, VV Putin's income, on the contrary, has somewhat decreased. In connection with the financial crisis, the head of state cut his wages by 10%, in connection with which a simple calculation will allow us to assume that his earnings are in the region of 250,000 rubles.

The press service of the head of state reported that V.V. Putin was one of the lowest paid representatives of power. Until 2014, his salary was not raised for quite a long time. At the same time, representatives of other bureaucratic apparatus have already repeatedly increased the amount of wages. To date, there is no data on the annual income of the President of the Russian Federation, but in 2016 his total income was in the region of 3,000,000 rubles. The salary of V. V. Putin is credited to a bank card.

personal savings

The last presidential election, which was held in 2018, required candidates to report their own income and assets. The Electoral Commission published data according to which there were almost $180,000 in the accounts of the current president of the Russian Federation.

Unlike wages, for the most part, V.V. Putin's assets are practically not advertised. As for the official information that the World Wide Web has, the property of the head of state has remained in the same quantities as it was before. In particular, according to available data, the President of the Russian Federation currently owns:

Apartment with a square of 77 sq. m in Moscow. The estimated cost of housing is estimated at half a million dollars.
Garage, the square of which is 18 square meters. m.
Land plot in the Moscow region with an area of 1,500 sq. m.

The official place of residence of the head of state is the estate, built in the 19th century in the Moscow region. It is owned by the state and does not belong to Putin. The arrangement was carried out in accordance with the wishes of the president, in particular, the following objects are located on the territory of the house:

stable;
swimming pool;
gym;
premises for an official reception;
building for guests;
church;
Helipad.

This estate was provided to Putin in accordance with the Federal Law "On Guarantees to the President", and after he completes his activities as head of state, he will be obliged to leave the house. In addition, Putin is entitled to certain guarantees even after he ceases to be president, thanks to which he will receive payments corresponding to ¾ of his income.

In addition, the head of state owns the securities of some enterprises. Thus, V.V. Putin acquired 230 shares of Bank Saint Petersburg, owns 37% of the shares of Surgutneftegaz, is a shareholder of OAO Gazprom, owning 4.5% of the issuer's securities. In addition, the president is the main shareholder of the Gunvor company, which is engaged in the oil business. He owns 75% of the issuer's shares. But at the same time, V.V. Putin is not listed as a shareholder of these companies and owns them through a chain of persons, so far it has not been possible to prove his attitude towards them.

And it's all?

VV Putin is considered one of the most influential people in the world. Moreover, this year this fact was officially confirmed when Forbes magazine published the corresponding rating. Therefore, many people treat official data with distrust, believing that the true state of the president is an order of magnitude greater than they say about him.

The president himself was repeatedly asked about his attitude to the data of various ratings, but Putin himself claims that he does not pay attention to them. Similar questions concern the presence of this or that state in him. The head of state calls all these rumors nothing more than empty chatter, and the ratings themselves are mere pieces of paper.

However, according to various sources, V.V. Putin heads a business of colossal proportions, and, holding the post of president, he works not only in the interests of the state, but also does not forget about himself. For example, the authoritative British publication The Sunday called the President of the Russian Federation the richest man on the planet. According to the resource, the president's fortune was estimated at a cosmic $130 billion! This figure allowed Putin to overtake the Mexican cellular giant Carlos Slim in the ranking of the world's richest people. However, there is no official confirmation of this data and probably never will be.

It is noteworthy that prior to this, the president's salary had not been subject to recalculations for a long period of time, which took place in the annual calculations of the salaries of other civil servants, and thus, before this increase, Putin's salary really looked “ridiculous”. According to the officially published annual report, Vladimir Vladimirovich's income in the specified period amounted to 3,600,000 rubles. Based on the data indicated in the official declaration for 2016, V.V. Putin earned approximately 8,860,000 rubles, and the total income of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at the end of the same year amounted to 8.5 million rubles. By the end of 2017, Putin's income was estimated at 10 million rubles more.

At the beginning of 2018, the President of the Russian Federation issued and signed a decree on a “discount” of 10% on the salaries of top Russian officials. Throughout 2018, the reduced income will apply to the position of president, and to the prime minister, deputy prime ministers, and ministers. The effect of this decree affects the salaries of the Prosecutor General, the heads of the Investigative Committee and the Central Election Commission.

Other sources of income for Vladimir Putin

Of course, the official salary is not the only source of income for the president of Russia. This is an obvious fact, even though information and other sources of income are not so much. Every year, the president files an income tax return that shows no dramatic changes from previous years. However, the following is known:

As of 2008, V.V. Putin's official bank accounts were about $180,000.
From then until now, Putin has at his disposal such real estate as a 77-square-meter apartment (approximately worth about $500,000), an 18-square-meter garage, and a 1,500-square-meter plot of land in the Moscow region.
The President of Russia acts as a shareholder in such enterprises as the bank OAO Saint Petersburg (23%), Surgutneftegaz (37%), Gazprom (4.5%). The president is not officially the owner of these shares, but his involvement in the enterprises is determined through a chain of mediation.

It is problematic to estimate exactly how much Putin earns, since there is an opinion that he hides part of his income. But citizens are also interested in knowing this information about Putin, in addition to his personal life. In 2017, the head of state filed an open declaration of income, from which one can judge at least part of his fortune. Let's consider what Putin's salary is and compare it with the property that he officially and unofficially (presumably) owns.

On January 1, 2018, Vladimir Putin signed the last decree on raising the salaries of some officials, including himself, by 1.04 times. After that, the president's official salary was 667,347 rubles a month. The president earns about 8 billion rubles a year. Compared to what the leaders of other countries earn, this income is considered low.

In a recent interview, Putin admitted that he himself does not know what his salary is. This is explained by the fact that the cost of maintaining the president is separately allocated from the budget, and Putin can put his salary on bank accounts or buy shares in various organizations from which you can also receive income.

According to data from the official declaration for 2017, Putin received a total of 18,728,268 rubles in income.

In addition to Putin's salary, it also includes profits from his shares, bank accounts and the sale of land. In 2016, the president's income was more modest and amounted to only 8.8 million rubles. In total, over the past 6 years, he has earned 38.5 million.

At the same time, the official status of the president is rather modest. He has:

Bank accounts for a total of 13.8 million (in rubles);
Shares of Bank Saint Petersburg (230 shares);
An apartment in St. Petersburg (77 sq.m.);
Garage in St. Petersburg (18 sq.m.);
3 domestic cars (2 Volga and Niva);
Car trailer.

No more property on Putin is registered. Such a modest fortune does not allow him to enter the list of the richest people in the world, so many financiers doubt that this list really reflects his real situation.

State benefits

In addition to the salary, the president has a military pension. After his resignation, he will also be entitled to an additional pension in the amount of 75% of the salary of the current head of state. Today, such a pension is more than 500 thousand rubles, and Dmitry Medvedev is also entitled to receive it.

Vladimir Putin also has the right to:

security;
special connection;
Transport service;
Medical care in special institutions;
Life and health insurance.

After the resignation, the president will have the right to live in one of the state dachas. Now he has been given an apartment in Moscow with an area of more than 150 square meters for unlimited use. All of these benefits are paid from the state budget.

Also, the president is inviolable, cannot be prosecuted, subjected to searches, etc.

Who determines the salary of the president

The financial allowance of the president of Russia, as well as his official salary, is determined when drawing up the country's budget for the year. The budget is adopted on the basis of the Budget Message drawn up by the President. The finished document is considered by the State Duma, then approved by the upper house of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation - the Federation Council. The approved budget must be signed by the President, who has the right to reject it.

Thus, how much money from the budget will be allocated to which items of expenditure today depends to a greater extent on the president. Among other things, he independently determines what funds are necessary for his annual maintenance, as well as the maintenance of his administration.

Information about the president's requests can be found in the Federal Law "On the Federal Budget".

The budget for 2019 and budget plans for 2020 and 2021 are now publicly available.

What are the expenses for the president

Separately, the budget provides for the following items of expenses related to the president:

For the organization of work;
to the administration;
For business management.

About 16 billion rubles are planned to be allocated for organizing the work of the head of state this and next year. This includes hospitality expenses of the president, expenses for business trips, maintenance, transportation, payment for the services of various employees, the purchase of goods related to ensuring the work process of the president.

About 10 billion rubles have been allocated to ensure the work of the presidential administration. This includes both the payment of wages to employees and the payment for a variety of services and goods to ensure the work of the administration.

A little more than 5 billion rubles were allocated to manage the affairs of the head of state, which is quite small compared to 2017, when 106 billion were allocated for the same item of expenditure.

Putin's condition according to unofficial data

Vladimir Putin is the most powerful person in the world. Based on this, the information that he lives on the money he receives a month as a salary, and his property is only one apartment and several shares of the St. Petersburg Bank, seems to many doubtful. In any case, nothing more than what is listed at the beginning of the article is officially registered as Putin's property.

But according to anecdotal evidence, Putin is arguably the richest man in the world, with a net worth of around $200 billion in total. This is almost 2.5 times more than the fortune of Bill Gates, who officially ranks first in the Forbes rating.

Whether this is so in reality can neither be confirmed nor refuted. It is only known that the organizations supposed to be Putin's main sources of income deny cooperation with him in every possible way. Officially, the president is not engaged in commercial activities.

General assessment of Putin's condition

The first official public assessment of Putin's unofficial fortune was given in 2007 by former presidential adviser Belkovsky. Then he voiced the assumption that the minimum Putin has 40 billion dollars.

He was able to earn such money, presumably receiving income from the following sources:

Shares in large oil companies (in particular, 37% of the securities of Surgutneftegaz);
Gazprom shares (4.5% of the total);
Shares of Gunvor (information revealed during a US investigation);
Unknown shadow business.

In a more recent interview, Belkovsky gave information that Putin's fortune has increased to 70 billion. According to him, this information is known to him from people close to the president. Whether the expert thickens the paint or not, it is difficult to find out.

According to the American financier Brider, this estimate is greatly underestimated. He believes that thanks to corruption and financial fraud, Putin has amassed a fortune of $200 billion. In an attempt to expose these machinations, the expert was expelled from Russia.

Sergei Kolesnikov confirms Brider's assumptions.

The businessman claims that the oligarchs of the Russian Federation organized a fund for bribes to Russian officials, to which Putin also has access. Also, presumably, Putin owns the shares of his friend, musician Sergei Roldugin.

According to Briler, Putin can keep his funds in secret accounts in Swiss banks and offshore. There is another widespread opinion that Putin invests money in real estate, located in particular on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as in the purchase of valuable things.

What else does the President own?

Putin is credited with owning luxury items, some of which are officially owned by his friends or Russian organizations. The total value of such property, according to preliminary estimates, is expressed in millions of dollars.

The belonging of some of these things to the president can be indirectly confirmed. For example, it is known that he has a collection of watches worth at least several hundred thousand dollars. With them, the president appears at official events. Only one of these watches costs about 500 thousand dollars. To afford them for his salary, the president would have to work for many years.

Putin is also credited with owning 20 palaces in Russia, in some of which he actually spends his time. The cost of one such palace can reach up to a billion dollars.

In addition, the president can own an air fleet: a dozen passenger planes and helicopters worth millions of dollars.

The president also has other modes of transport at his disposal - yachts worth about 3 billion rubles and luxury cars.

Whether all this property or part of it is really the property of the head of the country is difficult to determine reliably. Putin himself officially declares that his greatest wealth is the trust of the citizens of the Russian Federation who elected him president. If you trust only official data, it really is.

Each of us to the question: “Who do you want to become?” at least once in his life answered: "President." Every adult has a clear understanding that the best lives in the CIS countries are those who have political weight in the country, access to the treasury, resources and other material benefits.

For the rest of the citizens, there is a certain limit, above which it is practically impossible to legally increase their wealth.

But this absolutely does not apply to those who govern the country, manage the treasury and the fate of the state. In Russia, persons who are members of the Federal Assembly, the Government, as well as the President of the country, constitute the financial elite of the state.

Every citizen of the country is interested in how much their chosen ones earn, and what salary does Russian President Putin receive today? This is not idle curiosity, because taxpayers' money goes to the maintenance of the political elite.

Simple numbers: according to data for 2016, deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation receive an official salary of 450 thousand rubles, which is 15 times more than the average citizen of the country earns.

For comparison, in the United States, the income of members of Congress exceeds the average salary in the country by only 3.9 times.

But most of all disputes and gossip are caused by the President of the Russian Federation, V.V. Putin.

Bill Browder, head of investment fund Hermitage Capital, was once a Putin supporter and one of Russia's top investors. Recently, the situation has changed and, Browder explained why in an interview with CNN:

There is a significant difference between the amounts that were produced by the country and how much was spent on social needs - educational and medical institutions, road repairs, restoration of monuments and other needs of the state. I am sure that this money did not disappear without a trace, but is on accounts in European banks, invested in shares of enterprises and various funds managed by Putin and his henchmen.

Today, according to Browder's calculations, Putin's fortune is estimated at no less than $200 billion.

This statement is impressive. In 2014, The Sunday Times (UK) published a ranking of the richest people in the world, in which the Russian president took first place.

Putin's fortune was estimated at 130 billion dollars. This amount exceeds the fortune of Carlos Slim Etu, who is the richest man in the world according to official figures.

Regarding Putin's recent policy, which was aimed at fighting the oligarchs, Bill Browder expressed his opinion as follows:

I absolutely did not understand then that the President of the Russian Federation did not control the oligarchs, but was himself the largest oligarch. Vladimir Putin arrested one of the richest and most influential people in the country to make it clear to the rest that if they do not share with him, they will suffer the same fate.

Bill Browder has many like-minded people abroad who once invested in the Russian economy. Now the situation has changed, as the confidence in the current president of the Russian Federation abroad has significantly decreased.

It can be seen that since 2014, according to expert data, Putin's fortune has increased by 70 billion rubles, and this amount is only approximate.

This is not surprising, because the current president is a co-owner and shareholder of many large enterprises in Russia, such as Bank St. Petersburg, Surgutneftegaz, OAO Gazprom, and the oil company Gunvor.

But officially, Putin has nothing to do with these companies, all the papers are issued to other persons.

At the same time, Putin entered the amount of 8,900,000 rubles in the official tax return for 2015. This amount is even lower than the officially declared income of the former press secretary of the president. Dmitry Peskov indicated the amount of 36,700,000 rubles.

Dmitry Peskov and his wife Tatyana Navka did not hesitate to declare a residential building, seven apartments for two, one of them in the United States, and two personal parking spaces. There is also a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 car in the declaration of the press secretary and, three cars and an all-terrain vehicle - with his wife.

At the same time, the head of state has been modestly adding only an apartment in Moscow, a land plot, a garage and a couple of domestic SUVs to the declaration for more than a year.

Precisely because Vladimir Putin carefully hides his income, it is very difficult to calculate the exact amount that he has at his disposal. Forbes magazine in 2015 did not include the president of Russia in its rating, since there is no official data on the billions in the president's accounts.

The official annual income of the President of Russia

As for official data, it is also difficult to give exact figures here. The fact is that the maintenance of the president is taken into account separately and the amount “for hospitality expenses” is included in a separate article in the budget.

The last column appeared back in the 90s, during Boris Yeltsin's tenure as head of state.

At that time, the incumbent president received a negligible salary, but it was not possible to increase it due to the difficult economic situation in the country.

The public would react immediately. Then they found a way out, in the adopted budget for the next year, an article appeared "for the president's hospitality expenses." Money in an envelope was handed over to Boris Yeltsin personally.

When the post of head of state passed into the hands of his successor, the item in the budget still remained. At the beginning of the year, a certain amount of money is laid under this article. But at the end of the year, the amount of funds spent “on entertainment” expenses is usually much larger.

So it is easy to hide from the public how much was allocated for this article and what was spent on.

For example, by his decree last year, the President reduced his salary by 10%. This caused a great resonance in the press. But, no one paid attention to how much the amount under the item "representation expenses" increased.

*numbers in the table are rounded to the nearest tens

As you can see, the salary even decreased slightly compared to the one that the incumbent president got from his predecessor. However, representation costs have increased significantly.

We can also trace how much Putin’s salary as president has increased up to this year:

“The fact that in 2012 the president received more than in 2011 is due to the fact that in 2012 he received additional funds for unused vacation days,” commented Dmitry Peskov.

In 2014, in an interview with the Rossiya24 TV channel, Vladimir Putin said that he had no information about how much he received: “They bring me money in an envelope and I send it to my account without counting it.”

Although in April 2014 he himself signed a decree in which he increased the maintenance of the president and the salary of the prime minister by almost 3 times.

From official sources it is known for certain that in 2014 the head of the Russian Federation wrote down the figure of 7,654,000 rubles in the tax return. At that time, his monthly salary was about 637 thousand.

In 2015, Putin reduced the maintenance of the president, as well as the heads of some ministries, by 10%. As a result, for 2015 his total income, officially recorded, was 8,900,000 rubles.

It is known for certain how much the president earns at the moment. Putin's salary is 715 thousand per month.

The total income of the President of Russia today is quite difficult to calculate, since in addition to the amount that he officially earns, there are also “representation expenses”.

In addition, it is difficult to name the exact figure of the annual income that he receives from unofficial sources, due to the careful concealment of the involvement of the President of Russia in the shares of the companies mentioned above and accounts in foreign banks.

Additional benefits of the President of the Russian Federation

Vladimir Putin lives in a 19th-century mansion. The estate is the property of the country. It was equipped at the expense of the treasury.

The amount spent is not advertised, but it is known that a helipad, a reception hall for officials, and a separate building for guests were located on the territory of the mansion.

Also, by order of V.V. Putin, a swimming pool, a gym, a stable and even a church were designed here.

By law, Putin will leave this house when he transfers his powers to a successor. After Vladimir Vladimirovich retires, he will receive regular payments equal to 75% of his monthly income.

The head of state can use for his own purposes other residences located in all corners of the country, as well as the car park of the Presidential Administration and the air fleet.
