So several countries want to inflict economic pain on Russia as a penalty for attacking Ukraine. Financial sanctions are forcing Putin and his co-thugs to pay a price for their brutality.
Forbes estimates that elite Russian billionaires have lost about $290 billion in net worth since before the invasion. They name names and here are a few:
Roman Abramovich, net worth $6.9 billion -- assets frozen so far are a premier soccer team, a Gulfstream jet, and a 15-bedroom mansion in London
Mikhail Fridman, net worth $11.8 billion -- London properties including a $100 million estate have been frozen by the U.K.
German Khan, net worth $7.8 billion -- London properties have been frozen
Alexei Kuzmichev, net worth $6 billion -- his two yachts were frozen by France
Alexey Mordashov, net worth $13.2 billion -- his yacht and $115 million villa were frozen by the Italian police
