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…

        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.

            “He then pursued a career in comedy and created the production company Kvartal 95, which produced films, cartoons, and TV shows including the TV series Servant of the People, in which Zelenskyy played a fictional Ukrainian president. The series aired from 2015 to 2019 and was immensely popular.”

            So this guy started his own media company and then was the star actor in Ukraines most popular TV show ever made. Which is how he gained the popularity to win the election.

            “Servant of the People” is on Netflix, FFS. As well as licensed to around 30 different companies. Zelensky created the show. That’s probably where he made his money.

            You’re just full of shit.
