Just call him Vladimir Poopin’.
Of course, Earth’s own real-life Dr. Evil has a gold toilet paper dispenser and brush on his $700 million superyacht, the Scheherazade — named for the princess who tells a story each night to a homicidal king, always with a cliffhanger so she can stay alive.
Putin’s flexing, as revealed by leaked pictures inside his boat, is like the worst dating profile ever: “When not carpet-bombing maternity hospitals and old folks’ homes or threatening global nuclear annihilation, Vlad enjoys the tackiest in interior decorating.”
You just know he’s got a gold toilet bowl to match.
Oh, Freud would have a field day.
Clearly, Putin’s not just a maximalist in war but design. Where there’s gold here there’s marble, plus tile plus accents layered with crystal and glass.
There’s simply nowhere for the eye to rest — not that anyone in Putin’s circle is ever at rest.
Maybe that’s the point?
One would think a mature, worldly warmonger might want to show more restraint in décor than, say, a billionaire tech-bro or a Real Housewife of New Jersey — viewers will know who I’m talking about, the one known for “dictator chic.”

Photos reveal that the interior of the Scheherazade is flooded with gold and marble. The SunBut no. In fact, Putin’s done them all better. What else would you expect from a madman bent on world domination? Yes, Mad Vlad also has a gold-plated toilet seat on his private plane and an $824 gold toilet brush in another secret lair.
Only the finest for the world’s most despised piece of s—t.
Is there any greater metaphor for the rule of Vladimir Putin? A downtrodden nation strains to eliminate political toxins and thieving oligarchs, eager to flush them all down and start anew — with a fresh bowl, as it were?

What else have we learned from these pictures? He seems partial to veined marble, perhaps the better to ponder bloodshed. He’s also got a dance floor on this yacht that drops down into a pool — you can imagine the hijinks that might ensue! It’s like the trickiest trap door ever.
And that’s not all! There’s a huge home cinema for fun nights in watching state-run TV, a ghost piano that plays itself (not at all creepy), two helipads for swift, mid-sea exits, and a hospital — hey, better safe than sorry, right?

The Scheherezade is named after a fairy tale princess who tells a story each night to a homicidal king, always with a cliffhanger so she can stay alive. The SunThere’s only one thing this toilet paper holder is missing: custom toilet paper for the man himself, his face on every square. Note to Vlad: Some rolls are available in 3-ply, assuring comfort for even the most aggravated asshole.
