Though he presents himself as a common man, Russian President Vladimir Putin has led a clandestine life filled with mysterious affairs, czar-worthy palace intrigue and incalculable wealth.
In 2001, Putin awarded Olympic gold medalist Alina Kabayeva with an Order of Friendship during an annual award ceremony in the Kremlin. She allegedly became his mistress.In April 2014, the Kremlin announced that Putin had finalized his divorce from his wife, former flight attendant Lyudmila Shkrebneva, likely because he was romantically involved with Kabayeva.
His most massive and lavish property lies on the Black Sea and cost more than $1 billion to build. “Putin’s Palace” includes a spa, a movie theater, a teahouse, a wine cellar, a casino, a hookah lounge, a pole-dancing disco, a helipad, a hockey-rink, a church and even a gold-plated toilet. An enormous swimming pool, gym with the latest exercise equipment, and a judo mat also help keep Putin in top shape.
Putin’s eight official residencies include his main house near Moscow — a 19th-century mansion built by order of the brother of Emperor Alexander III — and his summer residence, Bocharov Ruchey, in Sochi, which sprawls across 40 hectares of woodland and boasts a majestic view of the Black Sea.Sasha Mordovets
