Russian President Vladimir Putin is a very mysterious person. While being the President of a so-called world power, not much is known about his personal life. It is estimated that Putin is the richest head of state in the world, while taking home only $102,000 in salary a year. It is assumed that Putin has his hands in many of the countries biggest industries. Recently sanctions have been imposed on many people believed to be in Putin's financial circle. This circle includes Yuri V. Kovalchuk, Vladimir I. Yakunin and Arkady and Boris Rotenberg. It is also believed that Igor Sechin and Aleksei Miller. Sechin is the president of Rosneft, the governments oil company. Miller, is the head of Gazpom, the worlds largest natural gas company in the world. By sanctioning these individuals close to Putin, they are putting on pressure on Putin to admit he is personally benefitting from his government position.
