Inequality among politicians: the wealthy have 88 times more than the bottom fifth – who are the richest?

Brussels points to inequality problems in Lithuania and here, we even have a massive gap between politicians. The fifth of the wealthiest politicians, officials, judges and leaders have wealth worth 88 times more than the fifth of the poorest, VMI declarations show. Some are overflowing with money, shares or real estate, which are even valuated under market price, while some are completely broke.
