Putin has a lot of money. In the billions of dollars, although much of it is likely currently inaccessible due to sanctions. A good deal of his money is held by family members and is not held directly in his name. It has been argued that if the West were to disclose the scope of Putin's wealth, that he may lose many of "normal" Russian people.

Most Russian people wouldn't know or care about anything disclosed by "the West". Many already know and still don't care. Corruption in Russia is not really a secret to anyone, nor are the yachts and palaces of oligarchs or Putin himself.
