This level of extravagance would embarrass another Russian tsar, writes The Guardian , which publishes photos and data on a holiday villa called 'Fisherman's Hut'.
This villa, or dacha as it is known in Russian, is thought to be owned by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Inside the cottage, a bidet costs as little as $ 10,800, while shower heads go up to $ 4,600 a piece.
The floor is Fior di Bosco marble with a value of 110 thousand dollars. The indoor pool is equipped with a decorative waterfall. Nothing has been spared to furnish the villa located deep in the forests of the northern Karelia region in Russia.
While British intelligence says Putin owns only a small apartment in St. Petersburg, two Soviet cars and a 110 110,000-a-year salary, the Kremlin leader's fortune is thought to be in excess of $ 4.5 billion.
Among Putin's assets is this holiday home, equipped with a private brewery worth 345 thousand euros, which can produce 47 liters of Austrian beer per day. Construction work on it began last year and it is estimated that construction alone has cost at least 8 2.8 million.
Putin himself denies that this villa is his. But area residents know who is coming there for the holiday, heavily accompanied by special forces and intelligence.
The villa is officially owned by a company of an oligarch, who is a shareholder in a bank known by the nickname 'Putin Bank'.
