Russian president Vladimir Putin's 'goddaughter' Ksenia Sobchak, who is also the brand ambassador for Samsung, may have lost $1.6 million after she was caught using an iPhone. 

According to Mirror, Sobchak is a journalist, politician, and also a reality TV show host. She is the face of Samsung but was seen using an iPhone X which she was desperately trying to hide under a sheet of paper during a television interview. Sobchak is now reportedly being sued by Samsung for around 108 million rubles ($1.6 million) for the incident.
