The short answer is that he is not anywhere close to a billionaire.

To the extent he has money (20 or 30 million), it appears to stem from his prior life as a tv star.

Little Pukin could be the richest person in the world from all his corruption. Stolen from the people of Russia.

He answered this ad, is how he got the money ...

MAKE MONEY AT HOME just investing U.S. tax dollars in your spare time. All you need is a smart phone, and Hunter Biden’s cell number. More information from Box 1984, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC. Reference “10% Big Guy Enterprises”

For example, at least two sites, TimiSsss News and Pledge Times mention that Zelenskyy would have money stashed in the Dresdner Bank Lateinamerika, a financial entity that does not even operate in Costa Rica.
Both publications claim that their sources of information are Telegram channels associated with Ukrainian opposition politicians and circles close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I trust FORBES to come close: “...But unlike his predecessor, Zelensky never was a billionaire. He’s currently worth roughly $20 million, based on reporting by Forbes Ukraine. Additional reporting by Forbes US puts that number at less than $30 million.

His main asset: an estimated 25% stake in Kvartal 95, a group of companies that produce humorous shows, which he transferred to his partners after being elected president, though he’ll likely regain his shares after leaving office. Kvartal 95 produced and owns the Servant of the People series, a popular political comedy starring Zelensky as a Ukrainian high school teacher who is elected president. Netflix, which previously streamed the show between 2017 and 2021, snapped up the rights again in March. With estimated revenues of $30 million annually, Forbes Ukraine values Zelensky’s stake at $11 million...” https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2022/04/20/president-zelensky-is-not-a-billionaire-so-how-much-is-he-worth/?sh=73c1f1f95bb0

It must have come from donations to the Zelensky Foundation - set up to help orphans in poor Caribbean countries 🤪

Those are highly credible sources, if they exist at all.

RE: You mean the evidence that law enforcement has been in custody of for over two years and done nothing with?

I’d like more information on this, specifically as it relates to Zelensky. Which Law Enforcement entity has this information?

A lot of people seem to conflate Zelensky’s wealth with that of Ihor Kolomoyskyy, who owns the Florida mansion.

Personally, right now, I am taking most everything I see about this war very skeptically. Too many people in power are chin deep in this crap.

I was talking about Hunter’s laptop and all the evidence on it that law enforcement is still ignoring.

George Webb had a video of Zelinsky’s Fort Lauderdale mansion, which I did not look at, but he said it’s worth $35 million. Zelensky must’ve had that before the war so I don’t know where he got it but maybe from some kind of corruption? Or maybe it’s because he’s an actor and a comedian that he amassed a fortune. I’m sure I don’t know.

Democratic Forum asked a question. This isn’t proof of his net worth.

As to Zelensky’s supposed billion plus, why do we not know of his mansions and yachts, his stock holdings, or other forms of wealth, or for that matter of his mistresses?

We know these things about Putin.

What we know of Zelensky is that he owns a modest home, and stock in a company that owns his the comedy series he starred in and produced before he became president, and some other things.

By the way, here’s the low down on a few other presidents:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_net_worth

You will notice that we’ve only had one billionaire president, and that person made his money before becoming president. Trump was worth $4.5 billion before becoming president, according to Forbes. That was his “peak” net worth. His net worth, according to Forbes fell during and following his presidency.

The bigger figures on the list (e.g., G. Washington), similarly made their money before becoming president; plus, inflating their wealth - mostly land holdings - to current dollars is a but tricky.

People become mega-rich while president, as Putin has become, because of corruption.

Now, check out Hunter Biden’s net worth, and note that the article gets specific about his luxury homes and cars. It’s not a billion, but it’s not nothing either.
