Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition, but first. This is Brian Dean Wright, filling in for Bill O'Reilly. On this Thursday, I am thinking about Vladimir Putin. Three months after launching his war on Ukraine, the Russian president has gone from tolerated dictator to global pariah. Before the invasion, many believed Vlad may have been the richest person in the world. According to Fortune magazine, Putin is likely richer than Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos combined.

His estimated net worth, $200 billion. As of 2021, Bad Vlad lived in 28 homes, including a $1 billion palace on the Black Sea. His real estate portfolio includes a global network of properties, including pads in southern France, New York City, and nearly every capital in Europe. Vlad even maintains a $5 million apartment located directly beneath the world-famous Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco. Putin operates a personal fleet of 700 cars, 58 private planes, 20 helicopters. Russia's version of Air Force One, called the Flying Kremlin, well, it features two golden toilets and a private three-bedroom residence.

Nearly all of his assets are scattered across tax shelters in the Caribbean, South America, Cuba, and China. While his net worth is valued in the billions, bad Vlad still pretends to be a man of the people, because according to the Kremlin, the president has paid a salary of just $100,000 per year, and Vlad lives in a modest 800-square-foot apartment. Following Putin's misadventures in Ukraine, that may end up being true. Back after this. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust,
