Topic question.

For those who are curious. Kasparov's net worth is estimated to be over $150,000,000 US dollars.

Wow! I would guess somewhere around 25 mill. Not based on anything.

That would make him worth even more than celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo (around 130 mil), Lebron James (90 mil), Lil Wayne (135 mil), Taylor Swift (105 mil), etc. Which of course cannot possibly be true.

Usain bolt's net worth is "only" 30 mil, so Kasparov's should definitely be a lot lower.

It says in the article itself, the story is not true!

And just take a look at the titles of the other articles at the bottom of the page.

Who are Lil Wayne and Taylor Swift?

The website is hilarious. Thanks.

fwiw, I was only responding to McHeaths question of who "claimed" that Kasparov is worth 150mil. Assuming that I believe the claims of the article would be mistaken. :=)

ColonelKnight

Still

Serphiot

LOL

I particularly like the headline "Garry Kasparov´s Dog Recovering From Surgery".

Sounded to me as though they may have something to do with the Chinese ministry for family planning.

So you know who Lebron James is?

LoekBergman

Yes, he is a very well known basketball player. Used to play for Indianopolis if I remember correctly and then transferred to Miami Heat. Played there with two other seemingly very good basketball players, but I don't know who they are.

No, my friends!

Kasparov's networth is about $7Million USD.

Remember he lived in Russia until recently, which is still communist.

The govt takes away most of people's money. It's only after he moved to the US he's making a little bit of money.

He should've moved to a tax free country like Monte Carlo a long long time ago.

TheRocketKing

wow...so that's why all the rich people move to monte carlo lol! But yeah kasparov's net worth is most likely to be under 10 $ millions, at least less than carlsen's net worth
