Who says government bureaucrats can’t show initiative? Here’s an amazing story from Russia, where a lowly tax official making about $40,000 a year, as amassed a personal fortune. Anyone want to guess how? In addition to real estate in Dubai and Montenegro, Olga Stepanova has millions of dollars in Swiss bank accounts. And The Moscow Times has determined that she own Russia’s second-best country house. Pretty amazing accomplishment as a tax official in the land of the oligarchs.
