Related: About this forumReportedly, Vladimir Putin is the richest man in the world
His estimated net worth is $200 billion.
Three times as much as Bloomberg, to give you a perspective.
Bernie has been attacking Buttigieg for the past month for getting $2800 donations each from 40 billionaires.
And during that month, Bernie knew that his own campaign was getting help from the richest billionaire in the world, in the form of Putins massive troll/bot farms. It was an in-kind contribution worth way more than the donations Pete got from billionaires.
And Bernie said nothing.
Bernie is a shameless hypocrite.

(5,556 posts)Putin is probably the richest guy in the world, as you say. After all, he owns a whole country and everyone works for him.
But Bernie? Can't agree with the convoluted way you get to that final conclusion.
