Forbes names Duma as world’s richest Parliament
April 1, 2008 - Russia Today - In recent years it has become a cliché that the Forbes rich-list is packed with the names of Russian citizens.

There are no less than 12 billionaires with seats in the State Duma. Leading the pack by miles is stockbroker Suleiman Kerimov. He’s worth an incredible $U.S.17.5 billion. Next richest is businessman Gleb Fetisov, worth $U.S.3.9 billion. But what makes Russia's parliament the world’s richest is the total net worth of all twelve men - a staggering $US 41 billion
