Roosevelt put his face in stone.
Now one leader has out done them all. Russian President (and shirtless horse riding trendsetter) Vladimir Putin has put his face on something he knows will be seen by all … their smart phones!

The back of the phone is made of 18-carat gold and is engraved with a portrait of Putin along with a quote from the Russian anthem.

Perla Penna, the makers of the phone, say that the phone is aimed at those “patriotic senior government officials and top executives,” or anyone Putin has yet to send to Siberia.
