Talent cannot be bought - one can only be born with talent. Of course, the gift can be different: acting, musical, literary or culinary. Or maybe a producer. The person who fully possesses this ability is Joseph Prigogine. The biography of this tells about the difficult and long path that he had to go in search of his happiness in his personal life and, of course, in the professional sphere.

Childhood and early years

Very often, viewers ask the same question: “How old is Prigozhin Joseph?” And this is no coincidence: after all, the producer does not find signs of old age. He has a beautiful wife famous singer Valeria), six children and a successful job.

The biography of Joseph Prigozhin has its roots in Dagestan - in the city of Makhachkala. It was there that on April 2, 1969, a boy was born who would become a famous producer in the future. In the meantime, he is the beloved son of Igor Matveevich and Dinara Yakubovna. Joseph's family was far from rich, so the boy quickly learned what work is. His first place of work was a barbershop. However, the lack of money did not stop him from dreaming about big stage and profession of an actor.

Way to success

As soon as Joseph turned 16, he receives a passport and leaves to conquer Moscow. No one is waiting for him in the capital of Russia. There are no friends or relatives. In order to get a room in a dormitory, Joseph enters a technical vocational school and masters the profession of "thermal and waterproofing". At the same time, the young man also graduated from school. During his studies, the biography of Joseph Prigogine takes a sharp turn. He overcomes the first step on the way to his dream - he plays in the studio theater. It was at that time that the thought ripened in the mind of the boy that acting life he is not as close as managing it.

Since 1986, the biography of Joseph Prigogine has been replenished with new events: attending theater courses at the Gamma Theater Studio, the first attempt to enter GITIS, which ended in failure (he was accepted only after a long 8 years), the first timid steps in cinema. For two years, the artist achieves a significant result. He makes the necessary acquaintances, visits various events and at the same time mastering a "living organism" called show business.

After some time, the biography of Joseph Prigozhin received a new line: the manager of the organization of concert programs. At the same time, he performs himself, even releasing a collection of his own compositions.

He was the administrator of fashion shows (including Yudashkin) and performances by various groups. Joseph was engaged in the promotion of singers and singers (Sona, Vakhtang Kikabidze, Nikolai Noskov and others). In addition, he was the promoter of "Inveterate scammers", Christina Orbakaite and Alexander Marshal. His company ORT-Records is recognized as one of the best in show business.

A significant role in its activities is given to the anniversary concerts of the stars domestic show business. Most of these events were organized under his direct supervision.

This is Joseph's second official marriage. The first wife of the producer was the beautiful Muscovite Elena. In that marriage, the couple had two children. Son Dmitry is already 18 years old, daughters with nice name Danae - 10 years old. Then there was Leyla Fattakhova. They were not married, but they have joint child- Elizabeth is nine years old.

The production center "NOX MUSIC" was founded in 2000.

Personal life

Iosif Prigozhin and Leyla Fattakhova met about twelve years ago. She worked as an artist selection manager at the Soyuz company. And then unknown to anyone, Prigozhin served as director of Vakhtang Kikabidze. Eyewitnesses recall that at that time Yosya always wore a suit and glasses for solidity, and his hair (yes, yes!) Combed back.

Prigozhin was captivated by the dark-eyed beauty Leila. Joseph frequented the Soyuz. According to the recollections of colleagues, Leila avoided a strange admirer for almost a year. No one could imagine that this oriental girl, blushing at swear words, would ever reciprocate Joseph. After all, Leila was considered the first beauty in the "Union", it would be difficult to imagine them together.

But Prigozhin turned out to be a good psychologist, for a year he studied the girl, his courtship became more thoughtful. And if you constantly see a person with burning eyes who does not stop repeating how he loves and suffers, then sooner or later you will say yes.

In the fourth year of their relationship, Liza was born ... And three years later, Leila left Prigozhin, starting life almost from scratch. Now she is independent, owns one of the best PR agencies in Moscow, among her clients are well-known businessmen, restaurateurs, such stars as Vladimir Kuzmin, Irina Allegrova, Alla Dukhova, Inna Malikova, the Doctor Watson group, and many others. In her personal life, she also has complete order.

Meanwhile, two children were growing up in Prigogine's first family. Handsome Dima, who inherited sparkle of eyes, a sharp mind and refined features of his mother from his father, as well as baby Danae. It is curious that, according to legend, King Danai, after whom, apparently, the girl was named, had many children, as many as 50 daughters. So Prigogine, without suspecting himself, foresaw his future large number of children.

Prigogine married for the first time very young. Muscovite Elena from the wealthy, intelligent family turned out to be a brilliant match for a visitor from Makhachkala, who, upon arrival in the capital, often spent the night at train stations. It is possible that it was a marriage of convenience, according to Prigozhin's numerous interviews, in which he admitted that "only with Valeria did he experience a real feeling." However, the path to the star was thorny ...

Prigogine never hid from others that it would be nice for him to become a husband ... Christina Orbakaite. Son-in-law of Pugacheva! And what? Sounds tempting. Glory, influence ... There was a moment when Joseph, having promised Christina mountains of gold, attracted her capital to his company Nox Music. However, Orbakaite somehow very soon took her share and for some time did not communicate with Yosei at all.

Another chance came when Abraham Russo appeared on the horizon. His famous duets with Christina are also tactical moves by Prigogine, who wanted to enter the retinue of the Primadonna, if not as a husband star daughter, then at least as a producer of her new admirer.

Prigozhin strengthened his positions by roundabout ways - surprisingly to many. I still remember the scandal of Ernst and Krutoy, respectively, of Channel One and the ARS company. They say that Prigogine is directly related to this quarrel of the titans.

For a long time Prigogine was also persona non grata on Channel One. But a happy card appeared in his life - Valeria. The singer reconciled Joseph with many, if not all.

They say that neither Elena, nor Leyla, nor Valeria are strangers to each other, but their children communicate with each other. True, not very often. It is curious that it was at these moments that Yosya's dad was next to them, accompanied by a couple of photojournalists.

Well, Prigogine achieved his goal. He is rich and famous.

All the women and children of Prigogine

Elena Evgenievna - first wife, housewife. Common children: son Dmitry, 18 years old, and daughter Danae, 10 years old. Lived together for 20 years. Elena lives in isolation and refuses to meet with the press.

Leila Fattakhova - civil wife. Common daughter Elizabeth, 9 years old. Lived together for 7 years.

Katya is a certain model. Joseph met with her for less than six months.

Valeria - current spouse. Children from Alexander Shulgin: Anna, 14 years old, Artem, 13 years old, Arseny, 9 years old. Children are not averse to changing the name of Shulgin to Prigogine, but father does not give consent.

Iosif Prigogine himself believes that he was lucky twice in his life.

“I met two wonderful women, but Lera is my first love. Before her, I knew what affection, respect, gratitude for loyalty, but not love, is,” says the producer. With Lena, our ex-wife, we have recently been connected only by children, But we are completely different people."

"Of course, Lena is offended - divorce was not part of his plans," Prigogine confesses. her to communicate, but only at the level of "hi-hello" and the transfer of money. "

Both wives of Joseph Prigozhin are Christians, but only for the sake of Valeria did he agree to change his faith. In the spring of 2007, Joseph and Valeria got married. “My ancestors on my mother’s side are rabbis, I come from an Orthodox Jewish family. But if, being a Jew, I tied the knot with the Orthodox, then I accept her faith, how could it be otherwise? My children are Orthodox, since the first wife is also a Christian. And I, having married Valeria, was also baptized.".

About common child the couple is thinking, but replenishment in the family is not yet expected.

“She should give birth, not me,” Prigogine argues. “We are in no hurry with a child, certainly not because of business considerations. But Valeria already has three children, I have the same number - they all need to be raised, educated, brought up and then you can relax a little, live for yourself at last. And in general, they don’t plan children. If the baby is born in the near future, I will only be happy! "

Meanwhile in the first family Prigogine two kids were growing up. Handsome Dima, who inherited sparkle of eyes, a sharp mind and refined features of his mother from his father, as well as baby Danae. It is curious that, according to legend, King Danai, after whom, apparently, the girl was named, had many children, as many as 50 daughters.

Well, Prigogine reached its goal. He is rich and famous.

All women and children Prigogine

Elena Evgenievna - first wife, housewife. Common children: son Dmitry, 18 years old, and daughter Danae, 10 years old. Lived together for 20 years. Elena lives in isolation and refuses to meet with the press.

Leyla Fattakhova is a civil wife. Common daughter Elizabeth, 9 years old. Lived together for 7 years.

Katya is a certain model. With her Joseph met for less than six months.

Valeria is the current spouse. Children from Alexander Shulgin: Anna, 14 years old, Artem, 13 years old, Arseny, 9 years old. Children are not averse to changing Shulgin's surname to Prigogine but the father does not agree.

Myself Joseph Prigogine considers himself lucky twice in his life.

“I met two wonderful women, but Lera is my first love. Before her, I knew what affection, respect, gratitude for loyalty, but not love, is,” says the producer. With Lena, our ex-wife, we have recently been connected only by children, But we are completely different people."

"Of course, Lena is offended - the divorce was not part of his plans," she confesses Prigogine. - I left home a year before I met Valeria, but Lena and I did not get divorced at first, and she thought so: Yosya would take a walk and return. We continue to communicate with her, but only at the level of "hello" and the transfer of money."

Both wives Joseph Prigogine- Christians, but only for the sake of Valeria, he agreed to change his faith. Spring 2007 Joseph and Valeria got married. “My ancestors on my mother’s side are rabbis, I come from an Orthodox Jewish family. But if, being a Jew, I tied the knot with the Orthodox, then I accept her faith, how could it be otherwise? My children are Orthodox, since the first wife is also a Christian. And I, having married Valeria, was also baptized.".

The couple is thinking about a common child, but replenishment in the family is not yet expected.

“It’s for her to give birth, not for me,” he argues. Prigogine. - We are not in a hurry with the child, certainly not because of business considerations. But Valeria already has three children, I have the same number - they all need to be raised, educated, educated, and then you can relax a little, live for yourself at last. And they don't plan on having kids. If the baby is born in the near future, I will only be happy!

Russian producer Iosif Prigozhin has been happily married to singer Valeria for more than ten years and is raising her three children with her. However, the provision of heirs from previous unions is still entirely on his shoulders. So, after parting fourteen years ago with his first wife, housewife Elena Prigozhina, the 46-year-old producer bought real estate for their common children. It's about about two apartments in Moscow bought for his son Dmitry and daughter Danai. However, as SUPER managed to find out, 49-year-old Elena suddenly decided to sell the living space without the knowledge of her children, and also without informing Prigozhin himself.

As it turned out, all this time a non-working woman took consumer loans in banks. For them, she paid with the money that Joseph sent to support the children. Several times she turned to her ex-husband with a request to give her a large amount, ostensibly to provide for her family and pay off the bank. After the money was credited to the woman's account, the producer invariably lost touch with his ex-wife.

Moreover, according to relatives, Elena Evgenievna began to live with a 28-year-old security guard named Dmitry. A young man originally from Stavropol is now serving time in a local military colony.

To date, the woman owed the bank about three million rubles. At the same time, immediately after receiving a large amount from Prigozhin, Elena, instead of paying the loan, left for another city and disappeared from communication.

According to Prigozhin's lawyer Sergei Zhorin, in February of this year, Elena sold one of the apartments in the center of Moscow. Odnushka on Pokrovka Street was originally intended for the eldest son Joseph, 26-year-old Dmitry. The producer's children also own another apartment in the same house, which, according to relatives, is also this moment put up for sale.
Zhorin confirmed that the living space intended for the children of his client was sold by his ex-wife. In addition, the eldest son of the producer did not even know that he was no longer the owner of the apartment.

“Yes, some time ago Iosif Prigozhin really contacted me, worried that his children might lose the housing he left them, parting with his wife,” SUPER told the details. family scandal advocate. - I began to raise information and found out that one of the apartments had already been sold. According to information from the real estate register, the apartment intended for Dmitry belongs to the organization, and he himself does not know about it. According to him, Elena explained to the children that she wanted to sell the apartments so that they could move apart and live apart. According to preliminary information, the living space was registered to Elena illegally. I plan to wait for Prigozhin to make a decision whether to prosecute her or not, but there is every reason for this.

SUPER contacted Iosif Prigozhin himself, who said that he was in shock from the actions of his ex-wife.

“I wouldn't like to talk about it. God is her judge,” Joseph shared his point of view on the family conflict with SUPER. - It seems to me that I acted like a man - I left in some shorts and left them everything, including land in the Domodedovo region, which, as it turned out, she had already sold to someone. The children are now of age. It hurts and hurts me that I've been fooled all this time. I bought property not for her, but for my children. I'm just shocked! I'm afraid that she just zombified the children and they were forced to sign a refusal.

The producer also noted that he regularly helped his son and daughter with money. Besides, ex-wife threatens his assistants on the phone.

- All these years I have done everything so that my children are not infringed in anything. Provided, paid for their education, financed, paid for everything, up to the rent. But I could not even imagine that this money went past them for the maintenance of Elena's new men! Joseph is angry. I don't know what's in this man's head. She turns my children against me solely for the purpose of making them sign documents and quickly escape to Stavropol. This news took me by surprise: I am now in China with Valeria and I learn this from you. In addition, today my assistant Stanislav also called me and said that Lena called him. She promised that "her new friends would deal with him if he sticks his nose in other people's business." I didn't talk to her because they don't answer my phone. I will understand this issue in the legal field and look for a civilized solution. I'm afraid that she herself would not become a victim of some criminal fraud!
