Putin's Palace Or A Hoax

 A couple of years ago.....someone came up and got photos over this 'palace' built in Gelendzhik, Russia (Black Sea region).

The original claim was that Putin himself financed it, and owned it.

Cost factor?  1.4-billion dollars is the rough estimate.  Since you don't know the layer below the ground (wine-cellars or such).....I'd suggest an amount going past the 1.4-billion.

After this story came out....an oligarch guy came out and stated his ownership of the 'palace'.

Various groups have investigated and each offer some different prospective on the ownership.

Mold and mildew figuring into the situation?  Well....in the last two years....this topic has come up and it's a known fact that some parts of the structure have been reconstructed....to prevent the mold.

The heating bill?  In winter months, I'd be guessing it's near $10k to $20k a month.  

As for Putin owning this?  I have my doubts.  If he were going to retire and live out the final decade of his life around the Black Sea, it'd make sense.  But he has no intention of retirement.

Something to pass to his wife or favorite son/daughter?  I don't see Putin having that attitude.

It does make for a good chat, but without much on facts.....you can't make the case that Putin is the owner.
