Russian oligarchs are so cringe.

The oligarchs in question are the wealthiest individuals in America today.

The vast majority have connections to the powerful and organized money forces running America.

How much money gets bought by oligarchs in the US is something we're very, very curious about.

By some measures, they're pretty impressive.

They're well-mannered, they're well paid, they have very little political or military experience, and they're probably more effective than just sitting around and talking politics.

In fact, the most interesting parts of their lives are a lot more mundane. It doesn't make them more relevant, but it does help us figure out exactly how much money they make, and how they've betrayed democracy.
