Did you know that Zelensky is a BILLIONAIRE? This was revealed years ago by the Pandora Papers.

Zelensky was a low-income actor who overnight began buying property in London, Tel Aviv and Switzerland, and running offshore accounts. How is this possible?

Too bad your article doesn't support your title. It seems he has part ownership of a few media companies which in turn own part of a holding company and are based on BVI and do/did business in Russia as well as Ukraine. No where are any values close to $1b exposed and the article even notes he passed legislation that if anything would make it even harder for oligarchs and international businesses alike to influence Ukraine...

Ahem. An actual credible source:

https://www.forbesmiddleeast.com/leadership/leaders/president-zelensky-is-not-a-billionaire-so-how-much-is-he-worth

"Why Is Zelensky a Billionaire?” "Forbes’ answer: he’s not."

"But unlike his predecessor, Zelensky never was a billionaire. He’s currently worth roughly $20 million at most, based on reporting by Forbes Ukraine."

Yeah but this guy was a media entertainer for what like 20 years? Of course he's going to have some money.

Not that much. Come on man use your brain, he's a Ukrainian politician, it's the most corrupt country in the world.
