Saw someone claim Xi's net worth is like 1.2 billion dollars. No one idea where they got this, but i seriously doubt it's true

As PolandIsAStateOfMind said. Its the same reason why they said Stalin was one of history's most richest men even though he died with very little to his name. You take the total estimated material wealth of the communist country they rule then say that's how much they're worth. A completely fabricated and fictitious method of measuring personal wealth, something capitalist worms are good at.

If you apply this logic to capitalist nations then Joe Biden is on Mars compared to Xi.
