Is kasparov a billionaire yet?

Avatar of MrEdCollins

I truly doubt it.  A millionaire many times over, surely.  But does he have more than 999 million dollars?  I wouldn't think so.

No.

You don't really get to a billion dollars from winning chess tournaments.

It's much more than that, most likely 20-30 million at least.

Only $5M?  I think I could get by on that.  I'd certainly be willing to try...

hey, it's from a site on the internet.  nobody argues with the internet.  nobody.

Ok, go check out (on the internet) who his buddies are. He is also "well funded" to go and fight Putin. Find out who funds him ;) That, and such a long career. No way he is only $5 million.

That is a nice site tkbunny

It is possible that this site, in Kasparov's case, does not include what he owns in Russia (if anything at all), I can see whatever assets he has there being basically forfeit to the Russian government at this point.

tkbunny, we asked you not to tell anyone.  Secrecy is of UTMOST importance.  Don't tell anyone else, mkay?  And remember, we need to "verify" all your bank account info before we can pay you your winnings.
