  It's hard to nail down Putin's wealth, but some people estimate him to have assets worth somewhere between $10 and $50 billion. http://time.com/money/4641093/vladimir-putin-net-worth/ http://time.com/money/4641093/vladimir-putin-net-worth/

    but nothing on him becoming a monarch? that's the alarming bit to me... also, that link uses an unnamed source they themselves call "unreliable" to come up with 200M, as was the basis of the commenter's point.

    According to this source [1], dictator not monarch would be the proper term, as the transfer of power for a monarchies is familial, and the transfer of power for a dictator is political/a coup. Without seeing into the future, everything since 1917 has been the latter.

  He's been in sole control of Russia for 18 years

    Is he going to pass that control to his children? I think that would be the definition of monarchy, not the term length.
