What is the life of the offspring of businessmen, can you envy them or not? Children of wealthy parents do not deny themselves anything: they rest in elite clubs and best resorts, acquire luxury clothing and vehicles, have huge mansions and apartments. What are the features of such life support or what it is fraught with - will be discussed in this article.

A responsibility

Children of wealthy parents do not just waste their lives, being the most enviable, "golden" grooms and brides. Over time, they bear all the burdens and troubles and responsibility for the business that their ancestors developed. They have to work in the sweat of their brow, continuing the work of their fathers and mothers, because even with every effort, you can easily get into trouble, and then all the works of previous generations will be buried.

Usually, the children of wealthy parents from an early age prepare to continue the family business with dignity: they study in good and appropriate schools and universities, practice, and get into business in advance. The magazine "CEO" has identified the richest heirs of millionaires. I had to calculate the capital and divide it by the number of children in each such family.

Rating

In the place of the leader of this rating, the children of wealthy parents change quite often. The first step is either Victoria Mikhelson - the most coveted bride of Russia, and quite possibly of the world (Novatek, Leonid Mikhelson, chairman of the board), or the heir of Lukoil.

Those willing to take risks from time to time become richer, and Mikhelson invests in various and numerous areas - development, petrochemical companies, and Alekperov's son is clearly following in his father's footsteps: he graduated from an oil and gas university, worked in the fields from a worker to a technologist and an engineer. This means that he knows exactly how the oil is produced.

Third and beyond

Not all children of wealthy parents in Russia are ready to study family business... And Polina Galitskaya, the daughter of Sergei Galitsky, owner of the Magnit chain, closes the top three of the "golden" heirs. Polina, according to forecasts, is going to become an economist, that is, she will be able to continue the business if she has such a desire.

Roman Abramovich is also preparing a change for himself in the person of his eldest son. However, there are many children in the Abramovich family, and their number is growing, so they cannot take high places in the ranking of the heirs. Nevertheless, daughter Leia is not in vain called the most golden child of the planet: her father's expenses for her birth were not limited to several hundred million dollars.

Mysteries

Personal life and information about the family are most often kept secret by businessmen; it is almost impossible to find out about many and, perhaps, the richest heirs. But there are also "golden" children of wealthy parents who do not shy away from publicity. It is no secret that the owner of Chelsea transferred to his son Arkady, even before he came of age, up to forty percent of the shares of Zoltav Resources Inc, and most recently he acquired shares in CenGeo, an oil company in Western Siberia. And everyone knows that Anastasia and Ivan Potanin, the children of the president of Interros, became famous thanks to sports.

The richest Russian - but his children are legal heirs - do not make it to the list of the richest, since journalists divide the parents' capital by the number of children. In this case, Anton Viner is the billionaire's stepson, and Babur Usmanov is the nephew, but both of them are claiming the state of Metalloinvest. The list of the richest heirs, like all ratings, is very conditional, if only because the number of children in the families of millionaires is steadily increasing, therefore, they all receive a smaller share of the inheritance with each replenishment. It is also possible that parents can write a will in favor of one of the children and not even leave anything to anyone.

Heirs

Judging by the information on social networks, including the visual confirmation of the facts, Instagram, the life of the children of wealthy parents is sheer delight. They travel a lot, most often use private jets, fly to relax in fashionable resorts, buy all kinds of brands in bulk - in short, they do not deny themselves anything.

Moreover, they want the world to know about this lifestyle in every detail. One hundred thousand subscribers of Rich Kids of Instagram are closely following the emergence of new photos, which show not their gray everyday life, but the triumph of the golden youth - the heirs of multimillion and billion dollar fortunes that live all over the world. And how do the children of rich parents dress! Peers cannot lose interest in savoring the details of the unattainable.

Life on display

While their fathers do not have time to demonstrate the external attributes of their own wealth, young shoots are throwing dust in their eyes, and the dust, of course, is "golden": these are private helicopters on the roofs, luxury cars, pools in inhabited skyscrapers, luxury resorts, indoor clubs. Shoes self made and designer clothes - this is how the children of wealthy parents dress. Everything related to the differences in their lifestyle from the average cannot be enumerated.

Alcohol can be considered a separate topic. When champagne is pouring in at the price of many thousands of euros per bottle, these are clearly not ordinary teenagers. On the Instagram network, you can see the characteristic yellow labels on the bottles on every still life. Captions for pictures are appropriate, from time to time even almost without grammatical errors: "This is not a boyfriend, this is my butler (butler)", "Miss Saint Tropez" and "Bentley" on a snowy road.

The habit of envy

Negativity, naturally, pours down on such ostentatious demarches as from But the heirs of large capitals are not only accustomed to this state of affairs - it even flatters them. Girls and boys who light up at private parties, celebrating birthdays with multimillion-dollar investments in pop and rock stars on distant islands with favorable climate, also have some kind of a different future from today's.

Someone dreams of launching a reality show, someone - a line of designer clothes. In the meantime, there are pictures from gourmet restaurants, and they are taken as cheerful as selfies with friends at McDonald's, and black caviar does not in the least make them closer to art. The envy of others is the engine Have a good mood... Some peers of the same age are outraged by the ostentatiousness of luxury, others would like to live the same way, but they are unlikely to succeed without their daddy with billions. And there are only twenty "daddies" in Russia. And a "beautiful" life is expected only in forty-seven of their offspring.

According to teachers

Most often, as the children of wealthy parents are called, he studies at MGIMO, like their parents. The profession of the most chosen is management. Methodologists from the Ministry of Education collected contextual information to assess the cultural capital of first graders.

One of the main criteria is the number of books in the family library. It turns out that high-status schools teach children who use the richest book collections. The children of Moscow's wealthy parents, if they do not prefer the institutions of London and Paris, study in Moscow gymnasiums and lyceums. The rest are in ordinary general education schools.

Education

The second criterion is parental education. In such schools, more than seventy percent of the mothers of pupils have a higher education. Fathers are much more likely to work in more prestigious jobs and leadership positions. In ordinary schools, a completely different alignment. But for some reason it turns out that about seventy percent of wealthy families almost completely lose their fortune when their children start to run the business.

And the grandchildren squander the fortune of their grandfathers, if their parents did not completely do it. And it's not even about knowledge. The younger generation, who grew up on everything ready-made, is not able to feel responsibility the way their parents felt when developing their business. They are brought up most often as party-goers. Rich children are poor parents, this already sounds like an axiom.

Why is that

These children have everything, and therefore they do not want anything, they do not need to strain in achieving certain benefits. They had governesses and nannies, not kindergartens and nurseries. They rode in hot countries and did not hear about pioneer or sports camps. By the time of adolescence, they speak English better than Russian, but both do poorly, because vocabulary is small, and there is no extensive communication experience.

They are sick of the colossal prospects of Cambridge and Harvard, they are bored. Their adapted to modern world parents are rich, successful, correct, ambitious and educated people, trying in every way to reveal the inclinations and abilities of their children, not sparing the money invested in education and upbringing, as well as attention, strength and parental love.

Life lessons

Excessive expressions of concern are most often encountered along the way. complete absence goals, desires, ability to work. Children are mostly sociable and intellectually developed enough, but passive in all manifestations. They do not have a system of values, and therefore it is difficult to find motivation and direct the child towards this or that goal.

They know exactly what they don't want - to make the effort. Such children need difficulties in childhood to overcome them, to foster independence. A person acquires his best qualities together with victories over difficult life circumstances, and this "golden" children of rich parents in Russia and abroad are deprived of. The positive lessons of life, unfortunately, are much less learned than the negative ones. And too much comfort will surely slow down development.

Problem of choice

Knowledge and skills cannot be bought, it is not a ready-made computer program. A huge amount of effort is needed to do the routine work. There are, say, in England expensive boarding schools for the elite, who, even in everyday life, live there very ascetic, with a strict disciplinary order and the most complete training program. There crown princes wash toilets and cook porridge for themselves, which does not interfere with academic success at all, even helps. And it is in vain that not all rich Russians take this experience into account.

Their own world almost completely closed, children leave it for a short time and under supervision - to visit a music or art school, theater, and so on. Otherwise, the life of the heirs of capital is extremely structured, despite the desire to satisfy the needs of the child, even the most scanty ones. They are entitled to the very best: personalized and the best tennis and swimming teachers, foreign languages and the rest of the activities, everything is planned up to the minute. And some children join this routine, becoming adults ahead of time, one hundred percent knowing what they want.

The list of heirs is headed by the 17-year-old son of the president of the company "LUKOIL" Vagita Alekperova Yusuf and the children of the owner " Base element"Oleg Deripaska Marina and Peter.

The rating includes 70 children, whose fortune, according to the experts of the magazine, is at least 1 billion dollars. The total notional capital of billionaire children is $ 231 billion. The children mentioned in the list have 36 parents, that is, the families of the richest people in Russia have an average of two children.

The oldest heiress of billions in Russia is the daughter of the co-owner of Eurocement Group Georgy Krasnyansky Kristina. She is 36 years old. The smallest owners of an impressive fortune - the twin daughters of the owner of the Russian Standard bank Rustam Tariko - turned only three years old this year.

As for the five children of the richest Russian, the governor of Chukotka Roman Abramovich, they were in the ranking only in the third ten. The thing is that there are too many offspring of Abramovich, and if you divide the $ 21 billion that he owns father of many children, then the children only get a little over 4 billion dollars each, KP notes.

the heirs were headed by Anna Anisimova, daughter of the co-owner of the metallurgical
holding "Gazmetall" Vasily Anisimov.

Most of the richest children were born in 1995 (five children a year), slightly less in 1990 and 1992 (four children a year).

Participants of the rating "Finance." determined as follows: at the first stage, the magazine, using various sources, established the number of children of each of the "defendants" annual ranking billionaires. The state of each of them was equally divided between the heirs.

Nasha Versiya continues to study the caste of the Russian “golden youth”. In No. 12 dated 26.03.2018, we already wrote about the children of famous politicians, thanks to whom the phenomenon of "hereditary democracy" appeared. Now it's time to look at the offspring of Russian oligarchs - billionaires who occupy the top lines of the Russian part of the Forbes list.

Leo Tolstoy wrote: “All happy families similar to each other. " If we consider that happiness is impossible without great material wealth, then in Russia today no more than a hundred families have the best opportunities for this. Forbes estimates that for 2018, there are 102 dollar billionaires in our country. The total fortune of this "golden hundred" is over $ 400 billion. A total of 274 children are being raised in these families. So was the classic right? Of course, we will not be able to tell about each of these offspring. Therefore, let's take a look only at the topmost rating of the “majors” and see how far apples have scattered in this case from their luxurious apple trees.

Alekperov does not trust the business to his son

The richest heir today is 28-year-old Yusuf Alekperov - The only son President of the oil corporation LUKOIL. As it should be, from childhood, my father was preparing a successor for himself, because Yusuf received a red diploma at Kerosinka - the University of Oil and Gas. Gubkin with a degree in petroleum engineer. Then Alekperov Jr. received another diploma with honors - with a degree in economics and management. The heir also worked for over two years at the LUKOIL fields in Western Siberia. In general, it seems that the necessary school has been passed, and therefore it is quite logical that Vagit Alekperov bequeathed his son's stake

LUKOIL worth $ 17 billion. That's just ...

It seems that the highly experienced Vagit Yusufovich, for some reason, did not completely believe that his son would preserve and increase his life's work. Therefore, he introduced a strict restriction in the will: the heir will own a block of shares, but without the right to split it. For this, the shares will be transferred to a special charitable foundation, which is why Yusuf will not be able to dispose of them directly. The oligarch himself told about this: “In my will it is formalized that the block of shares cannot be divided, because, of course, I am worried about the future of LUKOIL. The stability of the company will be ensured not only during my life, but also after. I do not admit the thought of dispersing the block of shares, which will lead to some unpredictable actions. "

Moreover, in last year's interview, Alekperov admitted dejectedly that he was looking for another successor, since his son was not suitable for this role, they say, the management of the company is too much. hard work for him. According to him, he will not choose a successor from among his close relatives. However, there is no need for Yusuf to grieve, because daddy's billions will still go to him, and possibly will increase.

Former member popular television show "Battle of Psychics" shared details about his "wrong side" and told how much it cost to reach the final in the fourth season of the show. He also said that many of the participants have nothing to do with real psychics.

Mikhelson is building a huge museum for his daughter

His 26-year-old daughter Victoria Mikhelson (second in the ranking of heirs) will not continue the work of her father, the largest shareholder of Novatek and Sibur. At least so far, her area of ​​interest is too far from the oil and gas business. When Victoria decided to study art history at New York University after school, her dad specially created for her a foundation to support young Russian artists "Victoria - The Art of Being Contemporary" ( V-A-C Foundation) so that my daughter does not have to look for a job after university. Now V-A-C is arranging the art space in the building of the hydroelectric power station-2 on Bolotnaya embankment in Moscow. Two years later, there, on an area of ​​almost 40 thousand sq. square meters, it is planned to open a museum of modern art. The cost of reconstruction is estimated at 150 million euros. For Michelson, this is not money.

Who will take the reins of the billions? Three years ago, the oligarch had a son, that is, there is a potential heir, but you just have to wait a long time until he reaches a responsible age.

Also young and the offspring of Andrey Melnichenko, who are in the third place in the ranking of Forbes heirs. Their future is still in question, in contrast to the cloudless present. Five-year-old Tara Melnichenko and her one-year-old brother Andrian (father is the owner of Eurochem and SUEK, mother is former model and the lead singer of the Serbian group Models) while traveling between their parental houses in Monaco, France, the USA, Great Britain, Switzerland and Russia on the world's largest sailing yacht.

As you can see, the upbringing and training of oligarchic "majors" takes place, as a rule, far from their native land. So, the last of the top 5 heirs, 31-year-old Jahangir Makhmudov - the son of the main shareholder of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) Iskander Makhmudov - graduated from London school economics and then Hult Business School. He is now a partner in the Israeli venture capital firm Singulariteam, which invests in artificial intelligence and robotics. True, at the same time, Jahangir is one of those rare examples when the offspring work in their father's business. He holds the position of Deputy General Director of the Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant, which is part of the UMMC empire.

Younger daughters continue the business of Timchenko and Rashnikov

A similar biography for carriers of three other surnames from the Russian rating of heirs. Let's start with the children of the owner of the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works (NLMK) Vladimir Lisin (seventh place in the rating). In particular, 37-year-old Dmitry Lisin, having graduated from the London School of Economics, has been working in his father's companies since the mid-2000s, is a member of the boards of directors of enterprises belonging to him - First Freight Company, North-Western Shipping Company, Volga Shipping Company, Rumedia media holding; is engaged in NLMK's strategy. According to Dmitry, “Father will gladly put everything on us as soon as we feel ready”.

Of the two daughters of the owner of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) Viktor Rashnikov (ninth line in the ranking), the father's business was initially continued by the eldest, Tatyana, who was involved in the supply of MMK abroad. But then she went into her own business - construction company"Reconstruction". The parenting business is now continued by the youngest daughter, 41-year-old Olga, who holds the position of financial director of the Moscow office of Magnitka. As a reward for this, her father gave her a third of the shares of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works and both of his French villas - Villa les Figuiers and Villa Nellcote.

One more example youngest daughter continuing the business of her father, one of the most influential oligarchs of today, is 33-year-old Ksenia Timchenko (eighth place in the rating). After graduating from the University of Edinburgh (Great Britain), she returned to Russia and is now a member of the Board of Directors of Transoil. Her father, the owner of the investment holding Volga Group Gennady Timchenko, has already transferred his 12.5% ​​stake in Sogaz to her. The eldest daughter Natalya after Oxford University decided to take up cinema, and the youngest son, 23-year-old Ivan, is still studying international relationships at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). As you can see, apparently, none of them began to study at home.

Rybolovlev's daughter received an island as a gift

An illustrative example is the offspring of the owner of the Renova corporation, Viktor Vekselberg (sixth in the ranking) - 39-year-old Irina and 30-year-old Alexander. Both graduated Yale university... Irina worked in New York as a financial analyst at Citigroup, and now, having moved to Moscow, she and her husband run a company specializing in Russian-Chinese transactions. Alexander Vekselberg also lives in the USA, owns Ferrari showrooms in Denver and Philadelphia. The ambitious boy once became famous all over the world when he publicly outraged - they say, his father spent $ 100 million to buy Faberge eggs for Russia, but he was not given a paltry $ 3,000 to buy a racing car! Well, now any car is at his service. It is curious that Vekselberg Sr. was included in the US sanctions lists, but his son lives quietly on the land of a “potential enemy”.

Many children of oligarchs prefer to settle abroad. So, the 33-year-old son of the co-owner of Lukoil, Anton Fedun, graduated from a university in Britain and now lives in London, managing his own hotel The Ampersand Hotel in Kensington, the most prestigious area. The children of the head of Alfa Bank, Peter Aven, graduated from Yale University, also staying to work in New York. A eldest daughter ex-owner of Uralkali, a graduate of Harvard University, Yekaterina Rybolovleva, first received from her dad an expensive penthouse in New York at a cost of $ 88 million. And then Rybolovlev Sr. gave his beloved daughter the whole Greek island of Skorpios, where her wedding took place with a Uruguayan financier. The same island where its former owner Aristotle Onassis married Jacqueline Kennedy. The youngest heiress, 17-year-old Anna Rybolovleva, lives with her mother in Geneva.

Abramovich Jr. follows in the footsteps of his father

It would take a long time to enumerate further. Alexander Frolov, the son of the co-owner of Evraz, who lives in London, has his own venture fund Target Global there. 30-year-old Said Gutseriev, the son of the owner of the BIN group, lived for 17 years in Britain, where he studied at Oxford and at the University of Plymouth. Arkady Abramovich, following in the footsteps of his father, who owns the Chelsea football club, tried to acquire the Danish club Copenhagen, but, however, failed.

Well, at least someone in Russia, right? However, the exceptions only confirm the rule. For example, three children of the owner of "Severstal" Alexei Mordashov from his new wife- Masha, Nastya and Daniil are studying at a school near Moscow. However, do not rush to be touched by their proximity to the people. We are talking about the elite created with the money of Mordashov himself private school Wunderpark in New Riga.

There are only two really exceptions in the top 20. One of them - only daughter general director Andrei Kozitsyn's UMMC 19-year-old Maria, who graduated with a gold medal from the Lomonosov school "Intek" and entered the Faculty of Economics High school Economics (HSE). The second case is the daughter of the founder of the Magnit network, 23-year-old Polina Galitskaya, who graduated from the Krasnodar gymnasium No. 54 and the Kuban State University under the economics program.

Potanin and Fridman want to deprive children of inheritance

Against this background, one cannot fail to mention two truly unique cases. The owner of Interros, Vladimir Potanin, said that he did not intend to bequeath the bulk of his fortune to his heirs, but to donate to charity. According to him, by this decision he wants to protect his own children "from the burden of excessive wealth", otherwise they will not have "the motivation to achieve something in life." Potanin has five children in total. The two elders - 34-year-old Anastasia and 29-year-old Ivan - were multiple champions of Russia in aquabike. Now Anastasia helps her father in managing the ski resort "Rosa Khutor" and organized the Artis project, which popularizes young Russian artists. Ivan works as an analyst in financial company LR Global. In addition, there is also Andrei Potanin, who graduated from Friends Academy in New York, and still preschoolers Varya with his younger brother.

The practice of writing off most of the fortune not to heirs, but to charity has long existed among Western billionaires. Nearly 200 holders of multibillion-dollar assets for several recent years joined this movement. Among those world famous businessmen who have done this are Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg. For example, Zuckerberg said he was going to donate 99% of his Facebook shares "to advance human potential and promote equality."

In Russia, apart from Potanin, only the founder of Alfa Group, Mikhail Fridman, has done this so far. He said: "It seems to me that giving a child or a young man a serious amount of money is in many ways a risk to ruin his life." And he expressed the hope that his children will independently achieve career success. His 25-year-old daughter Laura graduated from Yale University, but then joined the troupe of the Israeli National Ballet. Katya Friedman, 22, also graduated from Yale and works for the Swiss bank Credit Suisse. Their younger brother, 18-year-old Alexander, is just finishing his studies at a British school.

BY THE WAY

The personal life of the richest heir in Russia

Yusuf Alekperov once made a photo of himself, signing it with The Don. In the picture, he looks like Vito Corleone from the legendary movie - a black and white tuxedo and a bright red scarf in his buttonhole.

While working in his father's firm, Yusuf does not forget about the pleasures of high life. He likes to travel and relax with friends on a yacht, play tennis and football. Yusuf plays in an amateur football team wearing a red No. 1 T-shirt. He also loves cats - expensive, thoroughbred.

In addition, the heir has a whole fleet of vehicles, and the cars owned by Alekperov Jr. are produced in limited quantities, have exclusive characteristics and letter numbers "LU-K" and "UK", reminiscent of the company "LUKOIL". Among Yusuf's expensive toys is a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class Brabus jeep. The cost of this model in the basic configuration is about 14 million rubles.

Another chic car in his collection is the Porsche 911 Turbo S, a unique sports car with a 1000 hp engine. It is capable of reaching a speed of 100 km / h in just 3.1 seconds! The cost of the car is 13-15 million rubles. In addition, Alekperov Jr.'s fleet includes Mercedes S63, Mercedes-AMG GT S, Mercedes CLS, Porsche Panamera, a tuned model Mercedes ML63 AMG DECEPTIKON. Another car - a juicy BMW X6 Green colour- Yusuf recently sold for 160 thousand dollars.

In 2016, Alekperov Jr. married a girl named Alisa. They spent their wedding month traveling around Spain by car.

It is always interesting how the life of the heirs of the richest people in our country develops.

Arkady Abramovich

Roman Abramovich is perhaps the most famous Russian oligarch, and even a father with many children. He has seven children: 26-year-old Anna, 24-year-old Arkady, 23-year-old Sophia, 17-year-old Arina and 15-year-old Ilya from ex-wife Irina, as well as 8-year-old Aaron Alexander and 4-year-old Leia from ex-girlfriend (broke up in August 2017) gallery owner Daria Zhukova.

It's too early to talk about the minor children of the ex-governor of Chukotka, but there is some information about the elders.

The main heir to the oligarch's fortune, Arkady, began to dispose of his father's assets at a fairly young age. At the age of 19, he has been the owner of the ARACapitalLimited investment company, ZoltavResources Inc., named after the initials of Roman Abramovich. Eyewitnesses claim that Arkady is doing business just as well as his mentor. He is known to make big deals, and his income level is growing every year. According to Forbes magazine, in April 2015, Arkady owned 39.62% of Zoltav shares, the company's capitalization at that time was more than $ 98 million.

By the way, Arkady, like his father, is a football fan. Together with Roman Arkadievich, he often appears at Chelsea matches.
