From this article, everyone will get an idea of ​​how much Mr. Abramovich earns specifically.

short biography

The childhood of a billionaire can hardly be called cloudless. He was born in 1966, October 24th. At just 4 years old, he became an orphan. After that, his own uncle named Leib took up the upbringing of the child. He worked as the last head of the ORS in the Lesprom of the city of Ukhta. It was in this village that Roman spent almost all of his childhood.

At the age of 8, the boy moved to another uncle Abram, who lived in Moscow. Here he graduated from school 232. Then he went to serve in the Soviet army.

After military service, he returned to Ukhta, where he entered the institute. Studying was given to him with difficulty, but he more than compensated for the weak performance there with the outstanding talent of the organizer. However, he never managed to get a higher education.

Roman Arkadievich took up business in the late 80s. His first business was the production of toys from polymers. Subsequently, business partners in the Uyut cooperative became, together with Abramovich, at the helm of such a large company as Sibneft. According to experts, the billionaire owes much of his stormy career to close relationships with such famous people as:

  • B. Yeltsin;
  • B. Berezovsky.

However, his path to the financial Olympus in 1992 was overshadowed by a conflict with the law. It was then that he was arrested on charges of stealing diesel fuel for a total of 4,000,000 rubles.

In 1998, Abramovich tried to organize a merger between his Sibneft and Yukos. But this idea remained unrealized. It was in this year that the oligarch cut off all ties to Berezovsky due to disagreements, both financial and political.

By 1999, Roman Arkadyevich had successfully earned 14 billion. Then, among his assets appear:

  • Rusal company (together with Deripaska);
  • controlling stake in Aeroflot.

Since 2001, the billionaire has been working as the governor of the ChAO. Over the next 7 years, he has been actively developing the oil industry in this region.

In 2003, Abramovich became the owner of the British FC Chelsea. Having paid all the debts of the club, the oligarch invests more than 150 million pounds in its development.

But the billionaire did not forget about domestic football.

In particular, he created the NAC fund, through which he paid for the services of Guus Hiddink, who took the post of head coach of the Russian national team.

State

In 2009, Abramovich became the 51st in the world rating of moneybags according to Forbes magazine. But in Russia, he never rose to the first step in wealth. For a long time he was ahead of Mikhail Prokhorov.

After the start of the economic crisis, Abramovich's capital decreased markedly. For example, in 2015 their size was estimated at only $9 billion.

The businessman owns mansions in:

  • the United Kingdom;
  • Russia;
  • France;

In addition, he has 2 yachts. One of them - Eclipse - costs more than 340,000,000 euros. Its length is 170 meters. It has a modern missile strike early warning system and a small submarine. The latter is able to move under water at a depth of 50 meters. Moreover, all its windows are made of bulletproof glass, and the side plating can withstand even artillery shells.

Abramovich also has two planes (Boeing and Airbus), for which he paid more than 100 million pounds.

The oligarch moves across the land in armored limousines, of which he has two. In addition, for many years he has been collecting a collection of sports cars, the pearls of which are considered Bugatti Veyron.

In 2006, Abramovich was awarded the Order of Honor with the wording "For the development of the social and economic infrastructure of the ChAO".

Nevertheless, Abramovich's fortune continues to decline. So, last year he was only on the 13th position in the domestic ranking of the rich. But basically there is only one reason for this - the devaluation of the ruble.

This, however, does not prevent Roman Arkadievich from continuing to be active in the global real estate market. So in 2014, the billionaire became the owner of 3 houses in New York at once. He plans to unite them all into one mansion. For these objects, he laid out over 70 million dollars.

According to the income statement of the oligarch, the most expensive real estate owned by him is located in the Moscow region. Here he owns two huge houses at once, one of which has an area of ​​​​almost 2.5 square kilometers, and the second is somewhat more modest - about 1.2 thousand meters.

In addition, he also bought houses in the United States (more than 1.3 thousand meters) and in France (910 sq. M).

Abramovich is also actively involved in collecting art objects. His collection is estimated at about a billion dollars.

What is the income of an oligarch

For a year, on average, he earns 28,652,500,000 rubles. This means that every day his fortune increases by almost 78.5 million.

Taking the above figures into account, it is easy to find out that Abramovich earns more than 54.5 thousand per minute. Which in general is the monthly income of a representative of the Russian middle class.

In a second, the capital of the oligarch increases by 910 rubles.

Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich- Russian entrepreneur, billionaire, former governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, deputy of the Chukotka District Duma (2008), chairman of the Duma of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (2008-2013). Owner of Chelsea Football Club (London).

Childhood of Roman Abramovich

Father - Arkady Nakhimovich Abramovich (1937−1969) - worked in the economic council of the Autonomous Republic of Komi. Roman Abramovich's mother, Irina Vasilievna Abramovich (maiden name - Mikhailenko) was a music teacher, died when Roman was 1 year old.

Abramovich's grandfather Nakhim (Nakhman) Leibovich and grandmother Toibe (Tatiana) Stepanovna (according to other sources - Semyonovna) were wealthy residents of the Lithuanian city of Taurage, after the annexation of Lithuania to the USSR, they lost their property and were deported to Siberia, having lost each other on the train. Abramovich's grandfather died in 1942 in the Reshety camp (Krasnoyarsk Territory) as a result of an accident, a tractor with Nakhim Abramovich fell into a pit, as the biography of the oligarch says. Toybe raised three sons - Roman Abramovich's father Arkady and his brothers Leib and Abram. As a neighbor of the Abramovichs recalled in an interview with SP, Tatyana Semyonovna was a seamstress, she sewed clothes even for actors in Syktyvkar theaters.

Abramovich's maternal grandmother Faina Borisovna Grutman (1906-1991) was evacuated to Saratov from Ukraine at the beginning of the war. There is almost no information about Abramovich's grandfather Vasily Mikhailenko in biographies. In Alexander Khinshtein's book "Berezovsky and Abramovich: Oligarchs from the High Road", it is said that "only the euphonious surname Mikhailenko" remained from him.

Abramovich's parents met in Saratov, where Arkady Abramovich studied in absentia at the Road Institute. Irina Mikhailenko graduated from a music school and worked as a piano teacher at a school at the garrison officers' house. Having married, Arkady and Irina left for Syktyvkar, where Abramovich's father rose to a senior position in the supply department of the Komistroy construction association. Irina for the birth of Roman Abramovich came to her mother in Saratov, and then returned to Syktyvkar with the child. Abramovich's mother died of leukemia in 1967, according to Khinshtein's book, the cause was an unsuccessful abortion.

Arkady Abramovich, who blamed himself for what happened, outlived his wife by 18 months. On May 5, 1969, during a community work day, a multi-ton reinforced concrete slab fell on Abramovich's father, flying off a crane. On May 13, 1969, Arkady Abramovich died (in the biography of Roman Abramovich on Wikipedia, 1970 is indicated as the year of his father's death).

After life took little Roman into its cold embrace, making the boy an orphan, his uncle Leib Abramovich took him into his family for education. Roman lived with his uncle in the city of Ukhta (Komi ASSR), where Leib Abramovich worked as the head of the Pechorles working supply department at KomilesURS. In Ukhta, Roman studied in the 1st-2nd grade. In 1974, Roman Abramovich moved to Moscow to live with his second uncle, Abram Abramovich. In 1983 he graduated from Moscow secondary school No. 232.

At school, as his classmates recall, Roman Abramovich was quiet and modest, he studied averagely and there were no fives in the certificate of the oligarch. At the same time, already at school, Abramovich showed commercial abilities: he traded cigarettes, “farted” at the Moscow Intourist hotels. Singer Natalya Shturm, who studied with Abramovich, recalled the signature smile of the future billionaire.

Immediately after school, Roman Abramovich entered the Ukhta Industrial Institute at the Faculty of Forestry Engineering. However, he did not show much zeal for study and did not receive a diploma. In 1984-1986, he did military service as a private in the air defense training center (military unit No. 63148) in Bogodukhov (Kharkiv region). Later, Roman Abramovich studied for six months at the evening department at the Moscow Road Institute. In 2000 he graduated from the Moscow State Law Academy.

Business of Roman Abramovich

Returning from the army, the guy decided to devote himself to business, especially since Roman, even as a student, showed excellent organizational skills. At first, Abramovich went into small business (in the late 1980s and early 1990s). In 1988, he headed the Uyut cooperative, which produced rubber toys. In 1991-1993 Abramovich headed the small enterprise AVK, which was engaged in commercial and intermediary activities, including the resale of petroleum products. In 1992, the investigation issued a decision to place him in custody, suspecting Roman Abramovich of stealing 55 tanks of diesel fuel from the state-owned Ukhta oil refinery worth about 4 million rubles (criminal case No. 79067 of the Moscow city prosecutor's office). The damage to the Ukhta refinery was compensated by the actual recipient of the fuel, the Latvian-American enterprise Chikora International. Roman Abramovich himself, as reported in the news, actively helped the investigation, in December 1992 the case was dismissed due to the lack of corpus delicti.

From June 1993 to December 1995, Abramovich was the director of AOZT Petroltrans. From 1993 to 1996, Roman Arkadyevich headed the Moscow branch of the Swiss company RUNICOM S.A. In 1995-1996, together with Boris Berezovsky, he became the founder of several new companies, in particular CJSC PK-Trust.

In early 1995, 28-year-old Roman Abramovich, together with Boris Berezovsky, embarked on a joint project to create a single vertically integrated oil company based on Noyabrskneftegaz and the Omsk Oil Refinery, which at that time were part of Rosneft. In June 1996, Roman Arkadievich became the head of the Moscow representative office of Sibneft, and then joined the board of directors of this company.

It was only in 1998 that Roman Abramovich was first mentioned in the media by the ex-head of the presidential security service Alexander Korzhakov, who described Abramovich as the treasurer of the "family", that is, Boris Yeltsin's entourage.

In 2005, Roman Abramovich made $13 billion from the sale of a 73% stake in Sibneft to Gazprom.

London's serious attack on the interests of Roman Abramovich received an immediate rebuff from Moscow. Moreover, at the highest level, spoke the press secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov and representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. According to Peskov, the report of the International Affairs Committee of the House of Commons of the British Parliament "on dirty money" from Russia, published on May 21, is "another step in the direction of unfriendly and unfair competition." He recalled that in recent decades, Russian business has been growing, developing and leading a peaceful economic expansion to other countries, and suddenly this process has come to such an unfortunate ending.

Israeli citizenship gives Abramovich the right to visa-free entry to dozens of countries, including the UK, and the status of a “new repatriate” gives him tax exemption for 10 years and assistance in settling in his new homeland, the so-called “absorption basket”.

Recall that in Israel, a Russian businessman has long been engaged in philanthropic and commercial activities, investing in companies in the high-tech sector and real estate. In particular, Abramovich is building a large mansion in the prestigious tourist area of ​​Tel Aviv, Neve Tzedek.

As written in the news, Roman Abramovich left Israel almost immediately after obtaining local citizenship, having spent a few hours in the country. The billionaire went to the airport terminal on a general basis - to the room where the arrived repatriates are processed. There, Abramovich was issued a certificate of a new repatriate (“teudat-ole”) and an identity card (“teudat-zeut”), RIA Novosti reported.

At the same time, Roman Abramovich and Daria Zhukova emphasize that they remain close friends, parents of two wonderful children and partners in projects that they developed together (the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and the cultural center in St. Petersburg).

About why Roman Abramovich and Daria Zhukova are getting divorced, the tabloids can only guess for now. Undoubtedly, the topic of the oligarch's divorce, as in other similar cases, will be a hot topic in the news in the coming years.

After the news of Abramovich's divorce, it became fashionable in the media to write about the future new wife of the billionaire.

A former classmate of Roman Abramovich, Natalya Shturm, suggested that the billionaire had already decided on a replacement for Darya Zhukova. “I think that most likely this place has been occupied for a long time. I'm even sure. For the public, they "dotted the i's for something. Whether it will be an official marriage or Dasha, or Roman Arkadyevich, or a new union will be announced, ”Sturm noted.

Natalia also told what will be the new wife of Abramovich. “Slightly imagining the personality of Roman Arkadyevich, I think that it must be a very beautiful woman. And she's beautiful in her work too. An outstanding personality, relations with which, perhaps, have been tested for years, ”the singer made a prediction about the new love of the oligarch. Later, Natalya Shturm added that the news about the reunion of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could have appeared thanks to Abramovich, since Roman Arkadyevich allegedly wanted to divert attention from his person and discuss his new companion.

If this is true, then the idea was not successful, at least in Russia. The yellow press of the Russian Federation continues to discuss Abramovich's new novel, in particular, rumors about the connection between Roman Arkadyevich and the star ballerina Diana Vishneva have intensified. The press recalled that Abramovich and Vishneva appeared together at the Sochi Olympics, and the oligarch is also a sponsor of Vishneva's projects. However, Diana Vishneva is married to her own producer Konstantin Selinevich.

Abramovich and Zhukova were co-founders of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and the New Holland Cultural Space in St. Petersburg.

Their divorce could be one of the most expensive in history. The couple will share a business in Russia, a large art collection, a giant mansion on the Upper East Side and other jointly acquired property.

Abramovich and Zhukova have a son, Aaron, and a daughter, Leah. Pictured is Abramovich with Aaron at a Chelsea match in 2015.

Before that, Abramovich was married to Irina Malandina for 16 years.

The couple has five children: daughters Sofia, Anna and Arina and sons Arkady and Ilya.

When they got married in 1991, Abramovich had not yet managed to make a big fortune, but at the time of their separation in 2007, he already had $ 18.7 billion.

Although the court usually awards the wife half of the property acquired in marriage, Malandina agreed to $ 300 million - 1.6% of Abramovich's fortune.

Abramovich's first marriage to Olga Lysova lasted 3 years, from 1987 to 1990.

From 2003 to 2008, Abramovich was the governor of Chukotka and during this time allocated $1.3 billion from his own money to the region in the Far North.

Abramovich has homes around the world, including a $118.4 million London mansion on Kensington Palace Gardens, dubbed "Billionaires Boulevard."

However, in May 2018, it was announced that due to an unexpectedly long delay in renewing his British visa, the Chelsea owner had acquired Israeli citizenship and was moving to Tel Aviv.

In recent years, Abramovich has paid $96 million for four townhouses on New York's Upper East Side that he planned to transform into one huge mansion. He also bought a property two blocks from this place. Pictured is a view of Google Street at 9 to 15 on East 75th Street in New York City.

However, in September 2018, it became known that Abramovich sold 4 out of 5 houses in New York (all on East 75th Street) to his ex-wife Zhukova for $91.4 million.

Zhukova is the founder and editor-in-chief of Garage magazine, now owned by Brooklyn-based Vice Media.

Abramovich owns a luxurious villa in Antibes on the French Riviera.

And in 2001, he bought the Chateau de la Croe mansion on the Mediterranean coast.

It used to be the summer residence of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

The press wrote that Abramovich spent almost $40 million on the renovation of this villa.

In September 2018, a French court ruled that Abramovich had underpriced his summer residence and underpaid taxes in 2006 and 2007.

In 2009, Abramovich added a $90 million estate on the Caribbean island of St. Barth to his real estate collection. This 28-hectare estate features several Balinese-style bungalows with ocean views, tennis courts, pools and entertainment pavilions.

However, Abramovich likes to collect not only at home. Over the course of his life, the Russian billionaire has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on yachts.

In 2004, Abramovich bought the Pelorus superyacht, which at the time was the 11th largest in the world.

Abramovich's ex-wife Irina received the yacht in a divorce and later sold it to American tycoon and film producer David Geffen for $300 million. The last owner of this yacht was the Chinese billionaire Samuel Tak Lee. Pictured is Abramovich on Pelorus in Lisbon, 2004.

Roman Abramovich was lucky with partners and friends, and even with the main one - who later became his sworn enemy. Together with Yevgeny Shvidler, in the late 1980s, he opened the Uyut cooperative and sold children's toys. In 1993, Shvidler shared Abramovich's new passion - oil trading. But rather quickly, Abramovich's "shares" rose. He met Berezovsky, and he, with the support of Boris Yeltsin, helped him create the Sibneft company. In exchange, Abramovich was to support Yeltsin in the 1996 presidential election and sponsor the Berezovsky-controlled ORT channel.

Abramovich became a full-fledged member of the Yeltsin family and entered into the confidence of Tatyana and Valentin Yumashev. The last joint project of Abramovich and Berezovsky was the creation of the Rusal company. In order not to conflict with a "difficult" partner, the businessmen agreed to consolidate assets. But in May of the same year, Vladimir Putin became president of Russia, and in August the Kursk submarine sank. ORT's coverage of the tragedy angered Putin and forever quarreled between Abramovich and Berezovsky.

Under Putin, Abramovich was the governor and donor of Chukotka for eight years. And in order to get rid of possible political risks, he sold Sibneft to Gazprom and for three years remained the richest man in Russia.

Although Abramovich rarely gives interviews, he is the most famous Russian businessman in the world. This happened thanks to the purchase in 2003 of the English football club Chelsea. Another hobby inspired by the billionaire Daria Zhukova is contemporary art: investments in the Garage center, annual visits to the Venice Biennale, visits to the Strelka Institute sites (Abramovich watched the World Cup final there and listened to his favorite singer) . Only the Western press is indignant. Residents of the same Venice have repeatedly complained that the billionaire's gigantic yacht blocks their view of their beloved city.

First business In 1988, he headed the Uyut cooperative (production of rubber toys). In the early 1990s, he engaged in the sale of petroleum products.

Deal In 2005, he received $13 billion from the sale of a 73% stake in Sibneft to Gazprom.

Capital Evraz (29.7%), ports, real estate.

Deal In March 2019, he sold the remaining stake in Channel One (20% of shares) to the investment company VTB Capital.

Second citizenship In May 2018, Abramovich became an Israeli citizen after failing to renew his British investor visa.

Number He received $13 billion in 2005 from the sale of a 73% stake in Sibneft to Gazprom.

Sport Since 2003 he has owned the English football club Chelsea. In 2018, Forbes valued the team at $2.062 billion.

Detail In the fall of 2017, the Caribbean island of St. Barth, where Abramovich has a house, was at the epicenter of Hurricane Irma and was badly damaged by the elements. The traditional New Year's party was held on a yacht near the shore.

Divorce Abramovich broke up with his third wife, Daria Zhukova, and gave her New York real estate worth more than $90 million.

Collection According to experts, Abramovich's art collection is worth at least $1 billion. In January 2013, he bought a collection of 40 works by Ilya Kabakov, with an approximate cost of $60 million.

Charity In 2006, he donated 26 hectares of land near Moscow for the construction of the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo. At the time, the site was valued at $52 million.

heirs The eldest son, 25-year-old Arkady, has his own investment company ARA Capital, founded in London in 2011. ARA Capital owns 56.2% of the ordinary shares of Zoltav Resources, an oil company with a capitalization of $23 million.
