Roman Abramovich was born on October 24, 1966 in Saratov. His father Arkady worked at the Economic Council (state body for territorial management of the national economy) of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Roman lost his father at the age of four when he died in a construction accident. He lost his mother even earlier. Irina died when Roma was just one year old.

It is known that the family had a difficult history even before these tragic events. The grandfather and grandmother of the future businessman (Nakhim Leibovich and Toibe Stepanovna) lived in Belarus before the First World War, then in Lithuania. The June 1941 deportations led to the family being sent to Siberia. But the couple did not reach the place of exile together: they were divided into different carriages, after which they lost sight of each other. Toibe raised three sons alone.

After the death of his parents, Roman was taken in by the family of his uncle Leib Abramovich. Roma grew up in Ukhta, and then in Moscow, where he moved in 1974 to his other uncle Abram Abramovich.

In 1983, after graduating from secondary school No. 232, Roman Abramovich returned from Moscow to Ukhta, where he entered the industrial institute. Studying at the Faculty of Forestry Engineering did not interest him too much, but he managed to demonstrate his organizational skills. There is no official information about graduation from this university.

In 1984, Roman Abramovich was called up for military service. He spent two years in the auto platoon of an artillery regiment in the Vladimir region.

For the first time, Roman Arkadyevich married Olga Lysova, a native of Astrakhan, but the marriage did not last long. His second wife, Irina Malandina, who once worked as a flight attendant, gave him five children: Anna, Arkady, Sophia, Arina and Ilya. In March 2007, Roman Abramovich divorced her. The third wife was designer Daria Zhukova. She gave birth to the businessman's son Aaron Alexander in 2009 and daughter Leah in 2013. In the summer of 2017, it became known about the breakup of Daria and Roman’s relationship.

Career

Roman Abramovich’s first place of work was SU-122, which belonged to the Mospetsmontazh trust. There he worked as a mechanic from 1987 to 1989.

Around the same time, the man realized that the future lay in business, and, feeling an entrepreneurial spirit in himself, he acquired the Uyut cooperative. Officially, the company was engaged in the production of polymer toys. Roman Abramovich’s partners were Valery Oif and Evgeny Shvidler, who would later manage Sibneft.

In the early 90s, Roman Arkadyevich opened a large number of companies: from joint-stock companies to individual private enterprises. He makes money from the so-called small business. First in production, and then in trade and intermediary operations. At a certain period of his life, he makes friends with his congenial friend Boris Berezovsky, as well as with the closest circle of the head of state - Russian President Boris Yeltsin. It is believed that these connections were in the “useful” category and helped Abramovich become the owner of the Sibneft oil company.

In 1995, 28-year-old businessman Roman Abramovich and his friend Boris Berezovsky began a large-scale project. They are going to create a single vertically integrated oil company, which will be based on the Omsk Oil Refinery and Noyabrskneftegaz (both enterprises were then part of Rosneft). Already in the summer of 1996, Abramovich became one of the members of the board of directors of the Noyabrskneftegaz joint-stock company, as well as the head of the Moscow branch of Sibneft (by September of the same year he joined the board of directors of the enterprise).

The Prosecutor General's Office, using computer analysis, concluded that one of the reasons for the 1998 default in Russia was speculation in the market for government short-term bonds. And Roman Abramovich was involved in these speculations. Former Prosecutor General of the country Yuri Skuratov writes about this in his book “Kremlin Contracts: The Prosecutor’s Last Case”.

The media first started talking about Roman Abramovich and his activities only in November 1998. The former head of the Russian Presidential Security Service, Alexander Korzhakov, said that the businessman is the “treasurer” of Yeltsin’s retinue. The Russians also learned that Abramovich pays for all the whims of Yeltsin’s daughter Tatyana Dyachenko and her fiancé Valentin Yumashev. The media also wrote that Abramovich financed Yeltsin’s election campaign in 1996 (the famous Russian pop all-star tour under the slogans “Yeltsin is our president” and “Vote or lose”).

The year 1999 ended extremely successfully for Roman Abramovich. His fortune was $1.4 billion. By the way, in the same 1999, the businessman tried himself in politics. He is elected as a State Duma deputy in one of the Chukotka single-mandate constituencies. He never became a member of any of the factions, but since February 2000 he has held the post of member of the committee on problems of the North and Far East.

In December 2000, he was elected governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The media then wrote that Abramovich sought to improve the standard of living of the local population and develop the region in every way. To do this, he invested his own funds.

In the summer of 2003, Roman Abramovich became the owner of the English football club Chelsea, which was then on the verge of ruin. Many media outlets wrote that the rich man is developing foreign sports with Russian money. However, there was information that before this Abramovich was going to acquire CSKA, but the deal fell through.

Since the summer-autumn of 2003, Sibneft has been constantly inspected by the Tax Inspectorate and the Prosecutor General's Office. Another attempt to merge the company with Yukos fails. Soon Abramovich decides to sell first stakes in Aeroflot, IrkutskEnergo, RusPromAvto, Russian Aluminum, Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Plant, and then Sibneft. During this period of his life, he actually lives in Great Britain, but still holds the post of governor of Chukotka.

On October 16, 2005, Abramovich was nominated for reappointment as head of the regional administration by President Vladimir Putin. On October 21, the Duma of Chukotka approved the businessman in his position. He will hold the post of governor until July 3, 2008, until Dmitry Medvedev, who had become president by that time, terminates his powers. Later, Abramovich would make his contribution to the politics of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, holding the post of chairman of the local Duma.

In the spring of 2018, the UK tightened the requirements for obtaining an investor visa. Abramovich became a citizen of Israel. Having a passport from this country gave him the opportunity to visit the UK visa-free.

What now?

Now Roman Abramovich is 52 years old. He rarely gives interviews, and media interest in him has almost died out. It is almost impossible to calculate how much he earns now. It is known for certain that he actively invests in businessmen whom he considers promising.

Until recently, he could often be seen at events dedicated to contemporary art. According to the print and online press, he actively supports Russian football. He is involved in charity work. For example, in 2006, he donated 26 hectares of land in the Moscow region worth about $52 million so that the Skolkovo Moscow School of Management could be built on this site.

Roman Abramovich is the owner of a villa in West Sussex (worth £28 million), a penthouse in Kensington (£29 million), a house in France (£15 million), a five-story mansion in Belgravia (£11 million), and a cottage in Knightsbridge ( £18 million), houses in St. Tropez (£40 million), dachas in the Moscow region (£8 million). The businessman has a special weakness for beautiful and large vehicles. He owns the yacht Ecstasea, which has its own swimming pool and Turkish bath (worth £77 million). His yacht Le Grand Bleu (£60 million) has its own helipad. The Eclipse yacht is a record holder with a cost of 340 million euros. This is a 170-meter vessel with a bulletproof steel hull and armored glass windows. It is capable of notifying of a missile attack thanks to the German warning system. The yacht has hangars and two helicopters.

23:00 20.01.2013

The name of Roman Abramovich is on everyone's lips: some know him as the owner of the Chelsea football club, others as the head of Chukotka, and others as a crime boss. In any case, the biography of one of the most influential people in the world is unlikely to reveal all the secrets of his wealth. However, a mystery man, Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich does not try to hide his condition from the public, despite the fact that there are many blank spots in his business activities.

Childhood and youth

Roman Abramovich was born on October 24, 1966 in an ordinary working-class family, but tragic circumstances were such that at the age of one he lost his mother, and at the age of 4 he experienced the death of his father. In this regard, Roman was taken into care by his uncle, and spent most of his childhood in the city of Ukhta, where he studied until the 2nd grade.

In 1974, he was adopted by another uncle - Abram Abramovich - and moved to live in Moscow. Here he graduated from school, and after school he went to serve in the army in the Vladimir region. This is one of the versions. According to other sources, Roman Abramovich entered a university, which he never graduated from. Whether this is true or not, only the billionaire himself knows.

First steps and success in business

In the late 1980s, Roman Abramovich began to take his first steps as an entrepreneur. The Russian oligarch himself claims that while still studying at the institute, he and his comrades organized the “Uyut” cooperative. They made toys from polymers and sold them in Moscow markets.

In 1992-1995, he became involved in intermediary activities and organized five companies. The activities were based on the production of consumer goods and sales of products. Abramovich's commercial activities have constantly attracted law enforcement agencies. So, in 1992, he was accused of stealing cars with diesel fuel. How the matter ended is also not known.

In addition, Abramovich was actively involved in oil sales. For this purpose, the offshore company Runicom Ltd was created. and a number of subsidiaries throughout Western Europe.

During these same years, he became close to the families of Boris Yeltsin and Boris Berezovsky. These influential connections are still considered one of the factors in the success of the current billionaire. It was together with Boris Berezovsky that Roman Abramovich created and privatized the Sibneft company in 1995, over the shares of which a conflict subsequently arose between the two partners. In 1996, Roman Abramovich joined the board of directors. Together with Berezovsky, thanks to the companies that emerged immediately before the auction for the sale of Sibneft shares, they were able to buy ownership of the largest oil company.

There is also information that Roman Abramovich even financed Yeltsin’s election campaign and paid the expenses of the president’s daughter. It was thanks to his influence in these political circles that he managed to take the post of governor of the Chukotka region in 1999. However, despite the fact that many consider the election victory to be fabricated, Abramovich invested $18 billion from his budget into the development of the Chukotka region. They say that Abramovich needed to take the post of governor for several reasons, one of which was minerals, gold and biological resources. But, according to the billionaire himself, “some people think that I began to help Chukotka because I spent part of my childhood in the Far North, others think that I began to help Chukotka because I had a difficult childhood, and others it seems that I began to help Chukotka because I stole money. Neither one, nor the other, nor the third. When you come, you see such a situation, you see fifty thousand people - you go and do something. I have never seen anything more terrible than what I saw there in my life.”

In the early 2000s, Abramovich bought shares of Aeroflot and Slavneft, created several more companies, and also bought the almost bankrupt English club Chelsea. He completely repaid the club's debts and bought the best players to complete it. These events caused a wide resonance in the media, which accused the Russian oligarch of investing Russian money in foreign sports. However, this did not bother the billionaire at all, especially since the investment of 140 million pounds paid off: Chelsea began to win one major victory after another, and in 2012 won the Champions League for the first time. In addition, we should also remind all patriots of Russian football that it was thanks to the financing of this businessman that it became possible to invite Guus Hidding to the post of head coach of the Russian national football team. Also, on the initiative of Roman Abramovich, the National Football Academy Foundation was created in 2004, which is actively investing in the development of sports for children and teenagers.

The following are known from the oligarch's latest major transactions: the purchase of shares in a well-known British company that produces fuel from natural gas, as well as an increase in its stake in Norilsk Nickel to 10%.

• In 2000, he received a premium weapon as a gift from the Federal Tax Police Service - a personalized pistol.

Roman Abramovich's net worth

Today, according to Forbes magazine, the Russian oligarch ranks 68th in the ranking of the richest people in the world and 9th among the richest Russians with a fortune of more than $12 billion. Abramovich was forced to lower his position compared to previous years after divorcing his wife. However, this does not prevent him from owning several mansions on different continents, his own planes and helicopters, a fleet of several yachts and even a bulletproof submarine! Such a variety of real estate gives some journalists a reason to make fun of the businessman, saying that he “lives between London and Anadyr, which does not prevent him from having dinner in Canada sometimes.”

Well, who he is is the mystery of Russian business - Roman Abramovich, everyone decides for himself. But one of the richest and most influential people in the world himself claims that: “It seems to me that the person about whom certain media are talking and I are different people. Which of them is better is not for me to judge. But one thing is clear: they are not talking about me.”

One of the richest and most respected businessmen in Russia, Roman Abramovich, never ceases to be the center of attention of the Russian and world media.

As you know, Roman Abramovich is considered one of the richest businessmen in Russia. According to Forbes, he has been among the top 10 domestic billionaires for many years in a row. Interest in his fortune is largely due to the fact that the businessman, unlike other moneybags, does not try very hard to remain in the shadows, and information about his activities quite often appears on the pages of both foreign and Russian periodicals.

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

short biography

The billionaire's childhood can hardly be called cloudless. He was born in 1966, October 24. At just 4 years old he became an orphan. After this, his uncle named Leib took up raising the child. The latter worked as the head of the ORS in Lesprom in the city of Ukhta. It was in this locality 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 college. Studying was difficult for him, but he more than compensated for his weak performance there with his outstanding talent as an organizer. Nevertheless, he never managed to obtain a higher education.

Roman Arkadyevich took up entrepreneurship back in the late 80s. His first business is the production of toys from polymers. Subsequently, business partners in the Uyut cooperative began to join Abramovich at the helm of such a large company as Sibneft. As experts note, the billionaire owes such a hectic career to close relationships with such famous people as:

• B. Yeltsin;
• B. Berezovsky.

However, his path to 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 totaling 4,000,000 rubles.

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

By 1999, Roman Arkadyevich successfully earned 14 billion. Then his assets include:

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

Since 2001, the billionaire has served as governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Over the next 7 years, he is actively developing the oil industry in this region.

In 2003, Abramovich became the owner of the British FC Chelsea. Having paid off all the club's debts, 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 position of head coach of the Russian national team.

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

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

The businessman owns mansions in:

• 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 attack early warning system and a small submarine. The latter is capable of moving underwater at a depth of 50 meters. Moreover, all its portholes are made of bulletproof glass, and the lining of the sides can even withstand hits from artillery shells.

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

The oligarch moves around the world 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 to be the 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 Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.”

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

This, however, does not prevent Roman Arkadyevich 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. His plans are to unite them all into one mansion. He paid over $70 million for these properties.

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

In addition, he also bought houses in the United States (with an area of ​​more than 1.3 thousand meters) and in France (910 sq. m.).

Abramovich is also actively involved in collecting art. His collection is valued at approximately a billion dollars.

What is the oligarch's earnings?

On average, he earns 28,652,500,000 rubles per year. This means that his wealth increases by almost 78.5 million every day.

Taking the above figures into account, it is not difficult to find out that Abramovich earns more than 54.5 thousand per minute. Which in general constitutes the monthly income of a representative of the Russian middle class.

Per second, the oligarch’s capital increases by 910 rubles.
