Wigs, guns and a giant sledgehammer: Russian media attacks mercenary chief over lavish home

The footage of what appears to be Prigozhin’s home shows the opulence of the Wagner chief’s lifestyle, including lavish decor, a private helicopter pad and a spa alongside private prayer and well-equipped medical rooms. It also shows bars of gold, boxes filled with reams of cash, several passports, a cache of weapons, various items bearing the Wagner insignia and multiple wigs.

A giant sledgehammer was also shown in one of the rooms, a potential nod to a video shared online earlier this year that appeared to show a Wagner fighter who had defected to Ukraine being killed with a sledgehammer by his former comrades.
