Putin: Revelations About Secret £100 Million Palace in Occupied Crimea – Will Feature Private Hospital and Gold-Plated Bathroom (Pictures)

Vladimir Putin is reportedly the owner of a lavish £100 million palace in occupied Crimea, built on a cliffside and equipped with a private hospital, operating room, cryochamber, and gold-plated fixtures. The extensive complex is located at Cape Aya, on the southern tip of the Crimean Peninsula, and was originally built for former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, but allegedly taken over by the Russian president, according to investigations by the team of the late Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. The estate includes two buildings, a private beach promenade, a pier, an artificial white-sand beach, and a newly constructed helipad. The interiors, according to project documents and photographs, are luxurious even by the standards of Putin's other palaces, such as the one in Valdai – which Ukrainian drones reportedly attempted to strike this week – and in Gelendzhik, an even larger residence on a cliff overlooking the Black Sea. “The excess of luxury is starting to cause a slight nausea,” the Navalny team stated. There are two “royal bedrooms” in separate wings. Putin’s master bedroom alone covers 2,600 square feet, with a 538-square-foot bathroom. The “boudoir” is “roughly the size of three typical two-room apartments.” The gold-plated bathroom fixtures, shaped like flowers, are estimated to cost around £28,330. The total cost of the faucets, toilet paper holders, and bathrobe hooks reaches £104,000 in each of the main bathrooms. The palace also features a women’s bedroom, as well as bedrooms for Putin’s children, aged ten and sixteen. A whole floor is dedicated to a private hospital, a feature also found in his other palaces, raising further questions about the 73-year-old former spy’s health. Simultaneously, Putin signed a decree to conscript 261,000 recruits in 2026, indicating continued military mobilization in Russia.
