Putin’s alleged mistress has $100M, ‘Pandora Papers’ reveal

His secret girlfriend has lots of secret wealth.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s longtime mistress has an estimated net worth of $100 million in “shadow wealth,” including swanky apartments and a yacht, despite her modest background, a trove of newly leaked documents reveal.

Svetlana Krivonogikh, 46, has been romantically linked with the Russian strongman since he was still deputy mayor of her hometown of St. Petersburg, and reportedly has a daughter with him.

But Krivonogikh — who grew up in a communal apartment — and other Putin cronies have been enriched through shell companies in the Virgin Islands and elsewhere, the Guardian reported.

In September 2003, an offshore company called Brockville Development Limited — through two other Panamanian companies — bought her a luxury fourth-floor apartment in Monte Carlo. She’s also acquired a flat in St. Petersburg and other valuable assets, according to the reporting.

Krivonogikh is far from alone in benefiting from a long-standing relationship with Putin. For years Russia’s inner circle has gravitated to Monaco, where lax tax laws and policies have made the waterfront city a favorite for the wealthy.

“It has become Moscow-on-Sea. The mentality is to show off,” local lawyer Dominique Anastasis told the Guardian. “Nobody asks where your money comes from. There’s no culture of checking. You don’t make a tax declaration.”

Among the wealthiest of the Russian-Monaco circle is Gennady Timchenko, a former Soviet bureaucrat who has been friends with Putin since the 1990s.

Neither is secret now.

Can't wait for the next shoe to drop. Expose the scum!

Putin, unlike most of the oligarchs, has to be a lot more careful about his dalliances. No one is snooping around looking at what they do, bot there is a cottage industry based on getting “candid” photos of Putin.

Meet the new czar, same as the old czar.

History is replete with these sorts of professionals . Pick a country, any country, even those in the Bible, and a little digging will turn up the whores.

Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.............

History is replete with these sorts of professionals.

They're just leveraging the weak, unprincipled men like Putin.

God bless 'em.

not sure anyone in the US cares about foreign political types who find ways to keep money from being stolen by their govt

and strangely enough, no documents detailing how US politicians become multi millionaires within a few years of making just $200k annually.

that kind of information people would like to know

Hoe much does Pelosi have?

Wow! Biden getting $100M for being Putin’s play toy brings a whole knew meaning for getting 10% for the big guy.

Read “Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible”. The lifestyles these oligarchs are living puts the Romanovs and the Bourbons to shame.

I figure, everyone quoted in the article and the other sources (The Guardian's writer) and this writer, will enjoy their last Christmas this year.

I guess, for the Mistress, it’s similar to being in a 007 Movie, but done in real life.
Many women seem drawn to some level of danger.

[PGR88]

She’s probably worth every penny.

Well, as an alpha-male, Putin has a right to do with the people’s money as he wishes, and can do with his females as he wishes.

Ask that other alpha-male, Bill Clinton how that works. Heck, he was even allowed to sexually harass and rape women his entire career. It’s all about the benefits allowed on the job if you’re an alpha-male. Even Joe Biden has gotten in on the action, and his son has joined in.

007 movie women....

One had the Russian counterpart of the British intelligence head speaking on the phone from Moscow. “How is it with you?” “Oh, as I’m sure you would know it’s sheer Hell doing what we do.”
The Russian was kissing a beautiful woman’s hand as she stood behind his chair and smiled at him.

And they supposedly have a daughter: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9273495/Vladimir-Putins-secret-daughter-says-loves-limelight.html

Interesting part of article:

During the interview, Luiza was asked about her thoughts on a chilling quote from Vladimir Putin suggesting that if the Russian secret services had wanted to kill his poisoned foe Alexei Navalny, they would have finished the job.

She replied by alluding to a conspiracy theory over coronavirus which claims it is a plot by elites to reduce the world's population.

She said: 'There is this thing - don't know if I'll say it correctly - it's called the golden billion.

'It's a society of super wealthy people who have arranged all this coronavirus gimmick.

'This means that they are killing people.

'Why if they can do this, a government cannot (too) - for a reasonable cause?

'I can't say that I am for it, but this exists, this is what we are living in.'

We should all have to endure such ‘suffering’!
