The businessman had an affair with a TV presenter. This became known after November 26, 2006 in Nice (France) Kerimov got into an accident on his Ferrari Enzo - crashed into a tree. The airbags cushioned the impact, but burning fuel erupted from the fuel tank, starting a fire. The businessman, engulfed in flames, fell to the ground, trying to put out the burning clothes. He was helped by teenagers playing baseball on the lawn. This saved his life, although for her for a long time fought French doctors. He received severe burns, which is why he is now forced to wear flesh-colored gloves.

Together with Kerimov, Tina Kandelaki was in the car. As a memento of this incident, Tina received two tattoos. On the left wrist is one of the Reiki symbols - chokurei (jap. 超空霊 chō: kurei), the meaning of which has several interpretations, one of which allows you to speed up the healing process. On the left thigh is a Chinese character that means "mother". The tattoos are inflicted on the places of burns received as a result of the accident.

After parting with Kerimov, Ekaterina retired and left for Bali, where she gave birth to a daughter. There were rumors that it could be Kerimov's child, but officially a certain Italian is the father.

Entrepreneurial activity of Suleiman Kerimov

Since 1993, he has been living and working in Moscow - since the Eltav company and its subsidiaries established the Federal Industrial Bank. Suleiman was sent to him to represent the interests of Eltava.

In Moscow, the circle of his business acquaintances is expanding dramatically. The energy of the young businessman, the professionalism of the manager, the desire for independence did not go unnoticed.

In 1995, Kerimov accepted an offer to become deputy general director of the Soyuz-Finance company in Moscow.

Since April 1997 - Researcher at the International Institute of Corporations (Moscow).

At the end of 1999, Suleiman Kerimov bought shares in an oil trading company "Nafta-Moscow"- the successor of the Soviet monopoly Soyuznefteexport. Subsequently, this company became the main business tool of Kerimov.

In 2003, Nafta-Moskva received a loan from Vnesheconombank, which was invested in the shares of OAO Gazprom. Over the next year, Gazprom's share prices doubled and the loan was repaid within four months. In 2004, Sberbank provided Kerimov's structures with a loan in the total amount of 3.2 billion US dollars, which was also invested in shares, and subsequently fully repaid. By 2008, Nafta-Moskva owned 4.25% of the shares of Gazprom and 5.6% of the shares of Sberbank. In mid-2008, Kerimov completely withdrew from the share capital of Gazprom and Sberbank.

In November 2005, Nafta-Moskva acquired a 70% stake in "Polymetal"- one of the largest gold and silver mining holdings in Russia. In 2007, Polymetal successfully completed an IPO on the London Stock Exchange, after which Nafta-Moskva sold the company's shares.

In 2005, the Moscow City Hall and one of Kerimov's structures created a joint telecommunications venture Mosteleset, which became the sole shareholder of Mostelecom, the largest cable operator in Moscow. In 2007, the telecommunications assets were merged into the National Telecommunications holding and a year later they were sold to a consortium of investors led by Yuri Kovalchuk's National Media Group for $1.5 billion.

In 2003-2008, Nafta-Moskva developed the Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye project, which was called the “city of millionaires” in the press, the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bcreating belonged to Kerimov. Later, the project was sold to the president of Binbank, Mikhail Shishkhanov.

In the spring of 2009, Kerimov's structures took up the reconstruction project of the Moskva Hotel. After the completion of the reconstruction, a five-star Four Seasons hotel with a shopping center, offices and apartments was opened in the building. In 2015, Belarusian businessmen, the Khotin brothers, bought the hotel from Kerimov's structures.

In the spring of 2009, Kerimov's structures bought 25% of the shares "PEAK"- the largest developer in Russia. At that time, the PIK group of companies needed additional financial resources: the debt reached $1.98 billion, and capitalization fell to more than $279 million. Nafta-Moskva later increased its stake in PIK Group to 38.3%.

During the first 2 years of Kerimov's ownership (from 2009 to 2011), PIK restored financial stability and strengthened its position in the market. In December 2013, Kerimov sold the entire stake to Russian businessmen Sergey Gordeev and Alexander Mamut.

After losing over time economic crisis 2008-2009, Kerimov changed his investment strategy and began to buy large enough blocks of shares to be able to influence the strategies of the companies in which he invests. In 2009, Nafta-Moskva bought a 37% stake in the company from Vladimir Potanin for $1.3 billion. "Polyus Gold"- the largest gold producer in Russia. Later, the stake was increased to 40.22%.

In 2012, the company held an IPO on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). At the end of 2015, Kerimov's structures consolidated the rights to 95% of the shares of Polyus Gold by redeeming shares from minority shareholders. The offer was followed by the delisting of Polyus Gold from the London Stock Exchange.

In April 2016, the children of the entrepreneur - Said and Gulnara - were included in the board of directors of PJSC Polyus Gold.

In June 2010, Kerimov and his partners Alexander Nesis, Filaret Galchev and Anatoly Skurov acquired a 53% stake in the potash giant Uralkali from the previous owner Dmitry Rybolovlev. The deal was valued at $5.3 billion. For this purchase, Kerimov received a significant loan from VTB.

As the world's largest producer of potash fertilizers, Uralkali sold products on the world market jointly with Belaruskali through a common sales company (BPC). In July 2013, Uralkali announced that it was withdrawing from the marketing agreement with Belaruskali, cutting prices and increasing production to maximum capacity in order to increase market share. On September 2, 2013, the Investigative Committee of Belarus opened a criminal case against Kerimov and a number of employees of Uralkali in the abuse of power and authority. On the evening of September 2, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus defiantly sent an application to Interpol to put Kerimov on the international wanted list, but Interpol denied the message of the Belarusian authorities about putting Kerimov on the “red list”, seeing a political motive in the request. Subsequently, the Belarusian authorities withdrew the request and closed all criminal cases.

In December 2013, Kerimov sold a 21.75% stake in Uralkali to businessman and 19.99% to Uralchem ​​owner Dmitry Mazepin.

Invested outside of Russia, but unsuccessfully. In 2007, as markets around the world began to tumble, Kerimov reduced his holdings in Gazprom and other Russian blue chips and approached Wall Street to invest much of his fortune. In exchange, Kerimov was to receive more favorable credit terms for future loans. In 2007, Kerimov invested billions of dollars in Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse and other financial institutions. Although neither Kerimov nor Western banks have disclosed the exact size of his investments, they are quite significant. Forbes magazine called Kerimov the largest private investor in Morgan Stanley. By 2008, according to Forbes, he withdrew the bulk of his capital from Russia by investing in shares of foreign corporations. Analysts estimate that during the economic crisis, this decision led to a loss of almost $20 billion as a result of margin calls.

Suleiman Kerimov's fortune: In the Forbes ranking of "200 richest businessmen in Russia" for 2017, he took 21st place with $ 6.3 billion. In 2016, according to Forbes magazine, his fortune was $6.1 billion. In previous years: 2013 - $7.1 billion; 2012 - $6.5 billion; 2011 - $7.8 billion; 2010 - $5.5 billion

He was ordered to hand over his passport of a Russian citizen to the French police and pay a bail of 5 million euros in order to avoid detention. In addition, he is obliged "to refuse meetings and contacts with a list of persons that we cannot disclose," the prosecutor said. This means that the billionaire senator will not be able to leave France.

Earlier in March 2017, the Nice Matin newspaper reported on a search at the Hier villa in France, which allegedly belongs to Kerimov. The searches took place on February 15 in connection with the investigation into the acquisition of real estate in France. According to the publication, the senator owns real estate in Antibes, total area which is 90 thousand square meters. The area of ​​the villa itself reaches 12 thousand square meters. The billionaire's assistant then stated that Kerimov had no property outside of Russia. According to him, the newspaper's information is unreliable.

In June 2018, he himself was transferred to the category of witnesses.

From January 2011 to December 2016, Suleiman Kerimov was the owner of the Anji football club (Makhachkala), which plays in the Russian Football Premier League. Under him, the club acquired such well-known players as Yuri Zhirkov (Chelsea London) and Roberto Carlos (Corinthians Sao Paulo), super-forward Samuel Eto'o (Internationale, Milan).

In 2013, as part of the development of a new long-term strategy for the development of the club, it was decided to reduce the club's annual budget to the level of 50-70 million dollars, compared with the previous budget of 180 million dollars per season. Most of the expensive foreign stars were sold, and the club made a bet on young Russian players.

In addition to financing Anzhi, a modern football stadium Anji Arena for 30,000 spectators and the Anji Children's Football Academy.

Political activities of Suleiman Kerimov

In the period from 2003 to 2007, Kerimov was a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the IV convocation from the LDPR, he also served as deputy chairman of the committee on physical culture, sports and youth affairs.

Since 2008, Kerimov has become a member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation of the upper house of the Federal Assembly and represents the Republic of Dagestan.

The entire period of Kerimov's stay as a member of parliament, and then as a senator, the shares of enterprises owned by him, as well as other business assets, were in trust management, and since the end of 2013 they have been transferred to the Suleyman Kerimov Foundation.

In September 2016, he was re-elected as a senator from Dagestan in the Federation Council. In this regard, he prematurely terminated his powers as a deputy in the People's Assembly of Dagestan.

The oil king abandoned the daughter of actor Archil Gomiashvili

Their romance lasted four years. One of the richest people In Russia, the owner of Nafta-Moskva, Suleiman KERIMOV, generously endowed Katya GOMIASHVILI, helping her enter the open spaces of big business. But the heart of the oligarch is prone to treason. The daughter of the famous actor who played Ostap Bender in Gaidai's unsurpassed comedy "12 Chairs" shared the fate of her predecessors - singer Natalia VETLITSKY, ballerina Anastasia VOLOCHKOVA, actress Olesya SUDZILOVSKAYA, and if rumors are to be believed, TV presenter Tina KANDELAKI and pop diva Zhanna FRISKE.

Elena ARONOVA

General public billionaire Suleiman Kerimov became famous after being in a car accident in Nice in December 2006. Then the Ferrari driven by the oligarch crashed into a tree and caught fire. Kerimov was badly burned. sitting next to Tina Kandelaki escaped with minor burns. True, the TV presenter herself later denied everything. But somehow Tina opened up:

I met Suleiman at the time when he was courting my girlfriend, an actress Olesya Sudzilovskoy. Suleiman loves beautiful women - it's true. Soon he left Olesya and became interested in another friend of mine - a fashion designer Katya Gomiashvili.

Sudzilovskaya was only an episode for him, and a tender relationship with Archil Gomiashvili's daughter lasted for four whole years.

Generous Cavalier

When a girl is offered love and friendship by a man exhaling the smell of money, and Kerimov has as much as $ 14 billion, then it is impossible to refuse. So Katya Gomiashvili could not resist, although she herself is not from a poor family. Her dad, in addition to playing Ostap Bender superbly, was also a successful restaurateur in Moscow.

Catherine decided to make a career as a fashion designer. With the help of her father, she opened an atelier. Things were going the way they were. But since Kerimov appeared next to Katya, even world-famous couturiers envied her scope.

If a fashion designer has serious financial resources for brand promotion, he can be successful. You can buy everything now, - says Vyacheslav Zaitsev, having learned that Gomiashvili opens a boutique in London with the money of his lover. Designed by a Russian designer's shop, a very popular architect in England Ab Rogers. Katya's whim cost at least 3 million euros.

In the spring of 2006, at the height of her romance with Kerimov, a boutique "Mia Shvili" appeared on the Patriarch's Ponds in the capital, a little later she changed the sign to "Emperor Moth". At the same time, at the end of the house on Novy Arbat, to the envy of Katya's competitors, there was a giant banner on which the American film actress Chloe Sevigny flaunted in clothes from designer Gomiashvili. Another collection of the beloved oil king was advertised by top models Kate Moss and Devonian Aoki. Models of this level charge from $30,000 to 150,000 just for a fashion show. For participation in an advertising campaign, rates increase tenfold.

shook it off and left

In April, Katya unexpectedly announced the sale of the latest collection and closed boutiques. Everyone wondered why she turned the hyped case. It turned out that the reason is banal: the oligarch abandoned her. And what is the modeling business without his money? Another juicy detail came to light: Katya is pregnant.

And just the other day, the site Spletnik.ru dismantled Ekaterina Gomiashvili and her recent interview with Vogue magazine. The fashion designer shared with the "gloss" her longing for a certain oligarch:

He told me: “Katya, we are very strong. And if you do what I need, then break you. Do what you want - break me. It's impossible". …I have no grudge against him. It just hurts when a person who has done nothing but good to you does this to you.

Spletnik.ru figured out who this oligarch is, for whom the fashion designer suffers so much: “One of the versions says that this is the billionaire Suleiman Kerimov.” And as Spletnik.ru absolutely unambiguously hints, Katya is pregnant from him: “They say Kerimov has fully recovered from the car accident, but there are no rumors of new hobbies. And Katya Gomiashvili is expecting a baby. It is already known that it will be a girl.

Spletnik.ru knows what he writes about, because his mistress is the wife of another respected oligarch.

If the news on the site is true, then Katya had no chance. Suleiman has been happily married for a long time, he has three legitimate children. He just collects beautiful women. As one of the visitors to the Spletnik.ru forum wrote under the nickname blue eyes, "Suleiman ... he dusted himself off, ticked the box and went on."

However, according to information from other sources, Katya was going to marry some Italian not so long ago. But something didn't work out. Perhaps the groom just found out that the girl is slightly pregnant, but from another.

List of Don Juan

* The loudest was Suleiman Kerimov's romance with Natalia Vetlitskaya. The businessman, without hiding, appeared with the singer at social events, and many mistakenly considered Vetlitskaya his wife. On his 38th birthday, he presented Natalya with a diamond pendant for $10,000. And in parting, so as not to remember dashingly, he presented a plane and an apartment in Paris.

* Vetlitskaya was replaced by the ballerina Anastasia Volochkova. The predecessor, not wanting to put up with the loss, threatened her rival that she would pay her off with the help of bandits. Kerimov hired security for a new passion. But she soon did not suit her rich patron, and they parted. After their breakup, Nastya started having trouble in the theater.

* Forgetting the ballerina, Kerimov became interested in actress Olesya Sudzilovskaya, and then met with designer Katya Gomiashvili for a long time.

* The oligarch was also credited with close relations with Ksyusha Sobchak and Tina Kandelaki.

Our extravagant author is eager to fight again. Lena Lenina, a writer and owner of more than 200 salons of the Lena Lenina Network of Manicure Studios franchise chain, manages to do everything: build a successful business and write bright columns for the website. This time the famous blonde who is always in the know latest news show business, I decided to express my opinion about the attitude of Anastasia Volochkova to Suleiman Kerimova, whose history I know firsthand.

Nastya Volochkova recently made a statement that all these years she loved only one person, Dagestan senator and billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, and invited her followers to pray for him. While the news announced that Mr. Kerimov was released on bail of 5 million euros, after being detained by the French police on suspicion of tax evasion. According to rumors, he is accused of a deal to buy a house on the Cote d'Azur of France at a low official price.

The fact that Nastya was a friend of Mr. Kerimov, for show business, is an open secret. Some even claim that it was Kerimov who financed her stellar rise.

Suleiman introduced us to Nastya in Paris. Then, when a friend of mine, in response to my complaint that there was no good caviar in Paris, handed over to me, together with Kerimov, who flew in on his own plane from Moscow, a dozen kilograms of selected caviar. By the way, the fate of this caviar turned out to be sad: I managed to enjoy only a couple of kilograms of it with my family and even gave away a can to my Parisian neighbors, and then flew away with my mother and son to rest on the Cote d'Azur. In my absence, there was a power outage in the Parisian house, and when I returned, the cadaverous smell of dead almost ten kilograms of caviar reigned in the refrigerator. So the gift of my friend and the transport gallantry of Kerimov turned out to be in vain.

Suleiman introduced us to his girlfriend, a ballerina, pretty, thin, but surprising with her manner of behaving with men.

Not embarrassed by those present, she enthusiastically thanked Suleiman for the gift of beautiful toilets and jewelry and told everyone about what a wonderful man he was. It seemed to me then that Kerimov was embarrassed by her speeches. And they flew to Paris, because Nastya had a performance in front of VIP clients of a well-known jewelry brand at a private event. We had a great time in one of the luxury restaurants in Paris. With me was my late friend Lyudmila Bratash, who was recently made notorious by Nikita Dzhigurda, having inherited her fortune. On that day, she ironically made fun of Nastya's technique for seducing men. She also claimed that Suleiman paid for this performance for Nastya, because at that time she was little known not only in France, but also in Russia.

Nastya still has many ill-wishers among women - especially the wives of influential men.

On that day, Nastya looked like a princess: in a beautiful dress with fluffy skirt, graceful, with a chiseled face, exuding sweet speech. And Suleiman, as usual, was a courteous, charismatic, intelligent and incredibly gallant man who behaved impeccably not only in relation to his lady, but to all those present.

Nastya's statement is condemned by the secular party because Mr. Kerimov was and remains a married man, he has children and a family who, according to Eastern customs, will not be delighted with the statement of the outrageous ballerina. After all, her recent times the press more often discusses in the context of much less worthy men than a billionaire.

The media attributed novels to Suleiman himself with a dozen well-known beauties, but only Nastya decided to hype on the loud French scandal of the billionaire.

Whether out of naivety, or out of love, or out of calculation. But it seems that Karimov Nastino will not only not like the declaration of love, but will also cause a lot of image troubles. Indeed, during the period of their acquaintance, she was a promising ballerina. Today, according to her own followers, she has changed a lot.

The hype or sticking to world news is so tempting that it would be hard for anyone to resist. Or maybe Nastya is just naive, trusting "holy simplicity"? Or maybe, indeed, she didn’t love anyone else like Kerimov? "Why shouldn't she love him?" - gossips will say. He is an outstanding entrepreneur, a rich, intelligent and oriental generous man. There is still gossip in show business about a house of three and a half thousand square meters and two hectares of garden, which he gave to one singer.

He will certainly resolve the misunderstanding with the French police in his favor. But he is unlikely to thank Nastya.

Indeed, in the same secular get-together, the rule for reasonable women reigns: meeting with married man, do not seek to discredit his marital status in public.

The opinions of the public regarding Nastya were finally divided: some consider her a sincere and kind girl who wants to help her former lover and asks all her subscribers to pray for him. Others believe that Nastya is promoting herself on the news about the problems of her former billionaire friend. After all, a statement about a connection with such a respected person in society will help Nastya to mitigate the damage to her image that was caused by the disclosure of ties with a socially low-status fraudulent driver and a dishonorable blogger who dared to claim that he knew the exact number of her lovers over the summer.

I wonder if he will be able to confirm this or will he have to answer for slander?

In any case, whatever the number of lovers of a free, single woman, it is unlikely that a big businessman will like to be on this list of men. There is an opinion that Nastya, wanting to attract more worshipers to the fate of the object of her love, seems to have done him a disservice.

Member of the Federation Council, Russian businessman Suleiman Kerimov was detained by police in the French city of Nice.

Let's read what they took for, what he is famous for and with what beautiful famous ladies he lit:

“Late on the evening of November 20, Suleiman Kerimov was detained at the airport in Nice, he was taken to the police station,” TASS reports.

Member of the Federation Council, billionaire Suleiman Kerimov was detained in Nice on a tax evasion case, media reported, citing the prosecutor's office.

Telegram-channel Mash reports that we are talking about the events of 2005-2008. A month ago, searches were carried out at Kerimov's villa in Nice.

This is not the first incident with Kerimov in this French city.
In November 2006, he got into an accident on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, and then ended up in intensive care.

In addition, other people were detained in France Russian billionaires- So, in 2007, police during a raid to combat prostitution took into custody Mikhail Prokhorov and his partner Oleg Baibakov.

Kerimov, a senator from Dagestan, is one of Russia's richest men. Moreover, in recent years, his fortune has significantly decreased: in 2016, according to Forbes, it was $1.16 billion, and in 2011 it reached $7.8 billion.

He is a billionaire because he was given large loans from VTB, with which he bought shares, which he then resold at a premium.

In late 1999, Suleiman Kerimov bought shares in the Nafta-Moskva oil trading company, the successor to the Soviet monopoly Soyuznefteexport. Subsequently, this company became the main business tool of Kerimov.

In 2003, Nafta-Moskva received a loan from Vnesheconombank, which was invested in the shares of OAO Gazprom.
Over the next year, Gazprom's share prices doubled and the loan was repaid within four months.
In 2004, Sberbank provided Kerimov's structures with a loan in the total amount of 3.2 billion US dollars, which was also invested in shares, and subsequently fully repaid.
By 2008, Nafta-Moskva owned 4.25% of the shares of Gazprom and 5.6% of the shares of Sberbank.
In mid-2008, Kerimov completely withdrew from the share capital of Gazprom and Sberbank.

By 2008, according to Forbes, he withdrew the bulk of his capital from Russia by investing in shares of foreign corporations.
Analysts estimate that during the economic crisis, this decision led to a loss of almost $20 billion as a result of margin calls.

Wide coverage in the media received an accident in which Mr. Kerimov got in Nice in November 2006.
While driving a Ferrari Enzo, the businessman crashed into a tree, after which he spent a month and a half in the hospital.

During the collision, burning gasoline splashed out of the bursting fuel tank of the car onto Kerimov's back.

According to eyewitnesses: "Kerimov ran out in flames and rolled on the ground, trying to put out the fire, he succeeded only after three teenagers who played baseball nearby ran up to him."

It was reported that TV presenter Tina Kandelaki was in the car with him.

The loudest was Suleiman Kerimov's romance with Natalya Vetlitskaya.

The businessman, without hiding, appeared with the singer at social events, and many mistakenly considered Vetlitskaya his wife.

Thanks to Karimov's connections and money, the singer's clips were played on television for months.

Replaced Vetlitskaya came new passion. Kerimov's imagination was shaken by the ballerina Anastasia Volochkova.

Having met former lover in a restaurant with Nastya, Vetlitskaya, in a fit of jealousy, promised to give her rival a good job by hiring bandits.

Anastasia made every effort to take Kerimov away from the family. MP and oil businessman was to suffer the same fate as Kerman and Leibman, whose rather happy union with Anatoly Sobchak's daughter Ksenia Volochkova destroyed overnight.

Forgetting the ballerina, Kerimov became interested in the actress Olesya Sudzilovskaya. However, her serious demands turned out to be too high even for an oligarch.

Then Kerimov met with designer Katya Gomiashvili for a long time.

Their romance lasted four years.
Suleiman, generously gave Katya, helping her to enter the open spaces of big business.
But the heart of the oligarch is prone to treason.
The daughter of the famous actor who played Ostap Bender in the unsurpassed Gaidai comedy "12 Chairs" shared the fate of her predecessors.

Suleiman also met with the sex symbol of the Russian showbiz Zhanna Friske.

Suleiman Kerimov is married. He met his future wife Firuza (1968) while studying at the Faculty of Economics of the Dagestan State University. V. I. Lenin, where she was a classmate.
The couple have three children: daughter Gulnara (1990), son Abusaid (1995) and youngest daughter Aminat (2003).

"New Russian sensations": "Zhanna Friske hid him"

At the same time, as a real oriental man, he is distinguished by generosity and recognition of the inviolability of the family institution.

At the same time, as a real oriental man, he is distinguished by generosity and recognition of the inviolability of the family institution. A little biography A native of Derbent, Dagestan, turned in March. From childhood, the young man was fond of sports, which did not prevent him from studying well. The patronage was made by the father-in-law, for while still a student, the young man married a girl named Firuza. She was and remains the main woman in his life, having given three children: For 6 years, an ordinary economist rose to the rank of assistant to the general director and was transferred to Moscow to represent interests in the Federal Industrial Bank, one of the founders of which the company was.

Later he will represent Dagestan in the Federation Council. The emerging connections in government structures helped to solve problems in the companies that he acquired. A photo of the first beauty - singer Natalya Vetlitskaya, can be seen in the article.

The peak of her career also fell on e. Climbing Olympus began with a career as a dancer, and then as a backing vocalist. A few years later, the singer left the band. Before meeting with Kerimov, the woman had three official marriages and civil relations with Vlad Stashevsky, Mikhail Topalov, Dmitry Malikov. Vetlitskaya brought to the stage the image of a socialite, against which the temperamental Lezgin simply could not resist.

Romance with the singer The success of the pop diva on stage is associated with businessman Pavel Vashchekin. After breaking up with him, the singer began a real creative stagnation. The oligarch returned the star to the pop Olympus, investing in its promotion. Suleiman Kerimov and his women always appeared together at social events, since his wife preferred public life home comfort.

The two-year union with Vetlitskaya was no exception, giving the impression that the couple was married. On the th birthday of his girlfriend, the billionaire threw a grand party in the estate of the XIX century with the invitation of world pop stars.

A pendant worth 10 thousand rubles was presented as a gift.

In m, Vetlitskaya gave birth to a daughter, Ulyana. Her real father unknown. The intrigue is reinforced by the fact that outwardly the girl is a copy of her mother.

Before that, Vetlitskaya still performed and lived in Russia, so she witnessed a new novel. According to rumors, she ran into a newly made couple in one of the restaurants, where she promised to take revenge on the ballerina by hiring bandits.

The richest people in Dagestan

The richest people always attract attention. You can often hear about the construction of expensive yachts, the purchase of football clubs and the rest of Russian billionaires in famous resorts. Only residents of the South of Russia, in particular, the richest people of Dagestan, prefer to remain in the shadows. But, despite the fact that it is rare to find mention in the press of the richest people in this republic, they do not go unnoticed by Forbes magazine.

Suleiman Kerimov

Thus, according to the magazine, the Kremlin-friendly politician and owner of the Nafta-Moskva company, Suleiman Kerimov has a fortune of $ 7.8 billion and takes 19th place in the list of the richest businessmen in Russia in 2011. Compared to last year, his fortune increased by $3.5 billion. This richest member of the Federation Council gained notoriety after an accident in Nice, which he got into with famous TV presenter Tina Kandelaki. Currently, Suleiman Abusaidovich is also the owner of FC Anji and seeks to change the face of Dagestan by allocating money for the construction of sports centers and football stadiums.

Gavriil Yushvaev, Sefer Aliyev

On the 83rd place in the list of the richest people in Russia is a native of Dagestan Gavriil Yushvaev, his fortune is estimated by Forbes magazine at $ 1.2 billion.

The son of Suleiman Kerimov Said goes into big business

Compared to last year, the well-being of this Dagestani has not changed. It is noteworthy that in 1980 one of the richest people in Dagestan did not have higher education and spent nine years in prison, serving a sentence for robbery. In February 2011, the first stage of the transaction for the purchase of Wimm-Bill-Dann by PepsiCo was completed: American company for $ 3.8 billion received 66% of the shares (42% was bought from the founders and management of the company and 24% from subsidiaries).

It is very difficult to determine the richest (officially) Dagestanis, because you can find out either from the Forbes list or on the basis of data from the tax authorities. However, the information provided by the richest people of Dagestan to the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Dagestan does not always correspond to reality. So, according to official data, in 2007 the owner of the AS empire Sefer Aliyev, founder of nine legal entities, owning five land plots, four houses, two cottages and garages with seven cars received income from only one legal entity in the amount of 20 thousand rubles a month.

A little biography

A native of Derbent (Dagestan) turned 50 in March 2016. From childhood, the young man was fond of sports, which did not prevent him from studying well. After going through the army and graduating from the university with a degree in economics, Kerimov began his career at the Eltav plant. The patronage was made by the father-in-law, for while still a student, the young man married a girl named Firuza. She was and remains the main woman in his life, having given three children:

• Gulnaru, born in 1990;
• Abusaida born in 1995;
• Aminat born in 2003

For 6 years, an ordinary economist rose to the rank of assistant to the general director and was transferred to Moscow to represent interests in the Federal Industrial Bank, one of the founders of which the company was. The topic "Suleiman Kerimov and his women" is being discussed in the press, because the novice entrepreneur has made a huge capital on investments in assets with growth potential. Having infiltrated the oil and gas industry, he became the owner of Nafta-Moskva, acquired shares in Gazprom, Sberbank, and Polymetal, subsequently selling them at a bargain price.

The appearance of Natalia Vetlitskaya

Having earned the initial capital in the 90s, Kerimov formally retired, becoming a deputy of the State Duma from the Liberal Democratic Party (1999). Later he will represent Dagestan in the Federation Council. The emerging connections in government structures helped to solve problems in the companies that he acquired.

It was during these years that a series of novels began under the title "Suleiman Kerimov and his women." A photo of the first beauty - singer Natalya Vetlitskaya, can be seen in the article. The peak of her career also came in the 90s. Climbing Olympus began with a career as a dancer, and then as a backing vocalist. At 24, she got into the Mirage group thanks to producer Andrei Razin.

A few years later, the singer left the band. Before meeting with Kerimov, the woman had three official marriages and civil relations with Vlad Stashevsky, Mikhail Topalov, Dmitry Malikov. Vetlitskaya brought to the stage the image of a socialite, against which the temperamental Lezgin simply could not resist.

Simple Russian oligarchs. Non-trivial success story: Suleiman Kerimov

Articles on management - Popular management - Simple Russian oligarchs. Non-trivial success story: Suleiman Kerimov

“You love money, but I have a lot of them, and I easily part with them”

Suleiman Kerimov (according to his entourage)

Suleiman Kerimov became, according to many experts, the real reason"potash war" between Belarus and Russia, it was because of Kerimov that it was allegedly decided to organize the United Football Championship (OC) at all costs, which we will talk about separately. And also - a scandalous accident on a chic supercar with Tina Kandelaki, a dozen and a half billion (at least) dollars of personal assets at the peak of a business career, and many, many, even too many other aspects. The success story of this man is quite worthy of attention.

Start

Suleiman Abusaidovich Kerimov was born on March 12, 1966 in a far from the simplest family of Derbent (Dagestan): his mother held a very significant position in Sberbank, and his father was an employee of the criminal investigation department. In the North Caucasus, a child with such parents was automatically guaranteed a prosperous life both then and today.

Suleiman was athletic and smart kid: engaged in weightlifting, wrestling, had obvious inclinations in exact sciences. Admission to the Polytechnic Institute (not in Moscow - in Dagestan) after school ended a year later with conscription into the army and service in the Rocket Forces and, by the way, their elite unit. After the army, Kerimov recovers at school, but is transferred to the Faculty of Economics, where he meets his future wife Feruza. Feruza's father was a match for the parents of Suleiman himself: a prominent party worker who helped his son-in-law take the place of an economist at the prestigious Dagestan enterprise Eltav. The plant produced products from the category of large deficit - electronic equipment. In 1993, this successful enterprise needed its own bank. Such was created and received the name of the "Federal Industrial Bank" (Fedbank), its representative was sent to Moscow. The representative was none other than Suleiman Kerimov.

Moscow. Big start

After a couple of years of Moscow life, Suleiman Abusaidovich became the general director of Soyuz-Finance. In 1998, the businessman invested fifty million dollars in the acquisition of a controlling stake in the future Nafta-Moscow holding. After another 2 years, cooperation with Roman Abramovich and Oleg Deripaska allows Kerimov to receive part of the profits from companies such as Ingosstrakh, Avtobank, Nosta and others no less successful. Stop! Here it is necessary to analyze what is happening in much more detail.

Fedprombank

As we remember, Suleiman Kerimov was in Moscow a representative of Fedprombank, created for the Eltav plant. Its "compatriots" helped the Dagestan bank extremely actively, as a result of which the financial institution grew and developed rapidly. And Kerimov actively bought up his shares. At the same time, the charismatic businessman acquired useful connections in the Russian capital, tried to seek happiness in large and new projects for himself, and even participated in the sale of Vnukovo Airlines. True, the Accounts Chamber had a lot of uncomfortable questions about the deal, but Suleiman Abusaidovich avoided trouble.

Over a “couple of years”, buying shares of an ever-growing bank gave excellent growth initial capital future billionaire.

Oil and Naphtha. Nafta-Moscow

The end of the 90s in Russia is the era of a big war for resources.

Kerimov Suleiman Abusaidovich

Suleiman Kerimov at that time did not yet have enough "muscles" in business for big wars, so he concentrated his efforts on a relatively "small" facility by the standards of billionaires - the company "Varioganneft", naturally engaged in oil. Having won the object, Kerimov did what he would do with all the seized assets in the future: he sold it (in this particular case, to Mikhail Gurtsiev).

And then there was the Nafta company. Suleiman Abusaidovich got this once powerful business flagship "on the cheap": for $50 million in 1998. The businessman acted in the style of "Dancing on the Bones" Sam Zell, taking advantage of other people's problems.

Remark: Nafta was initially headed by General Director Anatoly Kolotilin. His son worked at the Unibest bank, through which it seemed to Kolotilin to turn money into a profitable occupation for his family. But - 1998, the crisis. Unibest collapsed, and because of this, Nafta lost $400 million of its funds and still remained $100 million in debt to Surgutneft. In a word, Nafta would be happy to sell itself to anyone, just to solve the issue of its debts.

Suleiman Abusaidovich did not like trading oil. The assets of the company, bought for 50 million, Karimov soon enough sold for 400 million dollars. And then a new campaign for money began.

Raiding and takeovers: spot the differences if you have enough health

Now this is called "hostile takeover", no one complains about anything to law enforcement agencies, silence remains. But such a business name hid boys with bats and crowbars, decisions of courts in very distant regions on the appointment of new boards of directors, criminal cases against intractable owners, and things that are generally not customary to talk about out loud.

year 2001. Avtobank was lucky with the assets of dozens of promising enterprises, including a whole steel plant, Ingosstrakh, Ingosstrakh-Soyuz, etc. No luck with the other: the attention of the three main sharks of the time: Roman Abramovich, Oleg Deripaska and, of course, Suleiman Kerimov. The latter eventually won, and the owner of Avtobank, Andrey Andreev, according to him, received nothing except for the prefix "ex" to the status of the owner.

In 2005, Kerimov already became the owner of billions of dollars, but he still begins to hunt for another object: Mosmontazhspetsstroy, Glavmosstroy, Mospromstroy - all three corporations were part of the Razvitie SEC, whose office was a couple of hundred meters from the Kremlin . But cute boys with heavy bats and crowbars came to visit this office, while Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov pointedly demonstrated: “Come on, you, a simple economic dispute that has nothing to do with us.” True, it was Luzhkov himself who asked Suleiman to “sort things out a bit” with the presumptuous leadership of Razvitie, who loved forceful methods. Kerimov "figured it out", very quickly reselling the mined object for 80-85 million dollars.

Forbes once wrote that the acquaintances of the businessman often mentioned one ethnic trait of Suleiman Abusaidovich: he certainly strove to take what was “bad”, and he needed psychological actions to use force. The hot Dagestan mentality of a calm, pretty businessman.

Investments in Russian

If Kerimov had relied on "acquisitions" alone, then he would not be the Kerimov he is.

Do you remember how it all started in Moscow? Connections and investments in own bank. And also my mother, who worked at Sberbank. It was along this line that Suleiman Abusaidovich began to build an interesting game.

It's one thing to buy shares in Fedprombank, where there is enough capital, but it's another thing to buy "packs" of shares of Gazprom and Sberbank of Russia. From 2004 to 2006, the value of the first increased by 4 times, and the second - by all 12, and the businessman during this period (or rather, at its beginning) has already managed to buy 4.25% and 5.26% of their shares, respectively. How? Very simple. He borrowed money and bought shares with it. And he left as a pledge ... Purchased shares. Shares rose in price, the amount of collateral increased, opportunities grew - and so on in a circle.

And who borrowed, you ask. Well, first VEB, then - "some other" banks. But the bet was made on Sberbank. It was so simple: you take money from Sberbank, buy its shares, leave them as collateral - and again buy shares from it. All risks - to Sberbank, all profits ... That's right.

Filaret Galchev and Vadim Moshkovich worked with Sberbank according to a similar scheme, but this bank made real curtsy to Kerimov. For example, Sberbank does not consider it possible to issue loans to one creditor for more than 25% of its capital. Nafta approached the limit, and when it seemed that it was absolutely impossible to take out new loans, the rule worked: if you can’t, but you really need it, then you can. Since 2005, loans were taken by ZAO Novy Proekt instead of Nafta-Moskva, and although the owner was the same there, the bank did not notice this. Why? Firstly, business in Russian allows this, and secondly, re-read the words in the epigraph.

In 2007, it became clear that Sberbank of Russia was going under the control of German Gref. Kerimov repays $4 billion in loans (which saves him from the uncomfortable questions “who authorized?”, “who will be responsible?”, etc.) for $ 4 billion and keeps a huge profit for himself.

In addition, there is another state-owned bank that is ready to lend to an expensive client with all its generosity - VTB. Maybe Kerimov's connections at that moment were already extremely powerful, or maybe it was just an accident and VTB without a second thought and "just like that" credited all the businessman's ideas.

Will foreign countries help us?

Indeed, somehow frivolous: everything is Russia and Russia. But what about the expansion of capital to the West? In fact, the question was not about the desire of Kerimov himself: he wanted something, he believed that "there will be more." By 2006, his affairs were going so well that it was possible to take on the world. But ... "There" was not particularly in a hurry to cooperate with the oligarch "from the dashing Russian 90s."

And here we must certainly introduce a new character: Allen Vine was not just a top manager, but the director of the Russian branch of Merrill Lynch. In the future, he gets to know Kerimov, they develop a friendship, and eventually a partnership. Vine leaves Merrill Lynch and heads one of the oligarch's structures, the Millennium Group. Vine became Kerimov's guide to the West. He will be his translator and the "key" to enter those offices in which the young and wealthy Dagestanis were not particularly willing to see before.

The task was simple: Morgan Stanley was the first to decide to check the "purity" of Kerimov's assets. In part, this decision of the bank was due to the fact that Vine and John Mack, who headed MS, were old friends, and in part - the natural charisma of the oligarch. In addition, no one dug particularly hard, and it was impossible to find real buyers for a number of transactions. After the first due diligence, 12 more banks in Europe and the USA began to cooperate with Suleiman Abusaidovich.

At this time, a lover of fast driving and thrills gets into a serious accident with Tina Kandelaki. A businessman receives severe burns, he is treated in the best clinics in the world, he maintains a business rhythm against all odds and partly thanks to a special silicone suit.

From 2007 to 2008, Western bankers helped the oligarch sell off assets in Russia by buying assets abroad. 26 billion was received, 20 billion went to debts and other expenses, 6 billion went "for change".

The package of new acquisitions by Suleiman Kerimov looked like an exhibition: there were shares of almost all structures with large assets and a big name. Deutsche Bank, British Petroleumm, Royal Bank of Scotland, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, E.On, Deutsche Telekom, Barclays, Boeing, Credit Suisse, Fortis and more, more, more…

Then there was a big game, Kerimov became the largest private shareholder in the history of Morgan Stanley itself, he began to play a significant role in voting in the key concerns of the planet. And then there was ruin and revival, a conflict between Moscow and Minsk because of the actions of a businessman and an epic with Anji Makhachkala, a story with OCH and other scandals. Nobody has written about much of what we will tell you before, but it will be in the next article.

Suleiman Kerimov gave his son an airport

The senator is actively transferring business assets to 21-year-old heir Said Kerimov.

When Suleiman Kerimov just created a charitable foundation named after himself, he promised to "help socially unprotected and needy young people." However, the only young man today who fully knew the generosity of Suleiman Abusaidovich is his son Said, to whom the most tidbits of Kerimov's business empire are copied.

Suleiman Kerimov

Such alienation best choice for a senator who wants to do business and sit in the upper house of parliament at the same time. The last of the assets transferred to Said Kerimov was the airport in the city of Makhachkala.

Cinema and "Pole"

The fact that the son of a senator from Dagestan, 21-year-old Kerimov Jr. became the main shareholder of the company " international Airport"Makhachkala", it became known from the SPARK-Interfax database. On January 11, 2017, 99.5% of the shares of the Grandeko company, which owns the airport, were re-registered to it.

A representative of the Makhachkala airport confirmed that Grandeko is the owner of the airport, refusing to name the owners of the company. Employees of the press services of Grandeco and Suleiman Kerimov's holding company Nafta-Moskva did not comment on information about the owners.

By the age of 21, the MGIMO graduate (according to the information on the institute’s website, Said Kerimov was supposed to receive a diploma in the summer of 2016) already has two large assets, including the largest gold mining company in Russia, Polyus, which he became the owner of in April 2015. Previously, it belonged to the Suleyman Kerimov Foundation. In January 2017, Polyus received a license to develop Russia's largest gold deposit, Sukhoi Log.

Said Kerimov also owns the Cinema Park chain of cinemas, which he bought from Vladimir Potanin in 2014. The amount of the transaction was not disclosed, but, according to experts, it could be $ 300-400 million. In March 2016, it became known that Kerimov Jr. decided to expand this business by purchasing the Formula Kino chain, but the negotiations were unsuccessful. In mid-January 2017, as the media reported, businessman Alexander Mamut became interested in the Cinema Park network. Mamut's spokesman declined to comment.

According to the results of 2016, Forbes magazine estimated the fortune of Suleiman Kerimov, excluding the airport, at $1.6 billion (the total cost of Polyus and Cinema Park). It was not possible to obtain an estimate of the cost of the airport at the time of publication.

The sky of Makhachkala

Joint-Stock Company "International Airport" Makhachkala "became the operator of the airport in 2014, follows from the message on the website of the airport. Prior to that, it was owned by the Dagestan Airlines company, which in December 2011 the Federal Air Transport Agency withdrew its license to fly. In 2012, Nafta-Moskva, affiliated with Kerimov, became interested in the airport. And on September 11, 2013, the arbitration court of the republic declared the company "Dagestan Airlines" bankrupt, all its property was put up for auction, follows from the case file. According to the card file arbitration courts Moscow and Dagestan, in 2012-2013 Dagestan Airlines was the defendant in a bankruptcy case, one of the plaintiffs in which was Arolia Holdings, affiliated with Nafta-Moscow.

The auction took place in June 2014, two companies participated in them. The first application was submitted by OJSC Makhachkala International Airport, the main owner of which at that time was Doxa Investments Ltd, registered on the British Virgin Islands. The second application was submitted by the bank "Northern Sea Route" (JSC "SMP Bank") Arkady and Boris Rotenberg. The auction went through in one step, the asset went to the Makhachkala International Airport for 300 million rubles. The representative of the bank did not comment on participation in the auction and interest in the asset.

Formally, at that time there was no connection between Kerimov and Doxa, however, in October 2016, the FAS agreed to transfer shares from offshore to Grandeco, owned by Said and Suleiman Kerimov on a parity basis, RBC reports.

Financial indicators for 2016 have not yet been disclosed by Makhachkala International Airport OJSC. However, according to the company's accounting report, in 2015 its revenue amounted to only 632.2 thousand rubles, net profit - 3.27 thousand rubles.

In 2016, 869.2 thousand passengers passed through the airport - 23% more than in 2015, follows from the company's message. In 2016, the airport served 7.7 thousand flights, which is 9% more than in 2015. Bandwidth on domestic lines is 200 passengers per hour, on international lines - 60 passengers per hour. Every day, eight to ten planes depart from the airport to Moscow, flights to St. Petersburg are made four times a week, and from here you can also get to Surgut, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don, Kazakhstan and Turkey.

What did Kerimov Sr. sell

In 2009, Kerimov bought the Voentorg building on Vozdvizhenka from the AST group Telman Ismailov. Then the deal was estimated at $300 million. In 2010, Kerimov transferred the asset to Rybolovlev's structures against the shares of Uralkali bought from him. In 2013, Kerimov sold a 36% stake in the PIK group to businessmen Sergey Gordeev and Alexander Mamut. Then the transaction amount was estimated at about $500-600 million. Also in 2013, Kerimov sold a 21.75% stake in Uralkali to Mikhail Prokhorov, the owner of ONEXIM. The cost of the package was estimated at 115 billion rubles.

In October 2015, Kerimov sold the Moskva Hotel, which was valued at more than 10 billion rubles, to the owners of Gorbushkin Dvor, Yuri and Alexei Khotin. Later, in August 2015, Kerimov sold the Fashion Season gallery located in the hotel to the Khotins. In July 2016, Kerimov was interested in buying a 17% stake in UC Rusal from ONEXIM, but after some time he fell out of the race, giving way to Sual Partners Viktor Vekselberg and Leonid Blavatnik.

In December 2016, Kerimov Sr. said goodbye to the Anji football club, which he had owned since 2011, transferring it to the president of the Makhachkala Dynamo, Osman Kadiev, with all the debts. From 2010 to 2013, the football club was a loss-making asset, but at the end of 2014 it turned out to be the most successful sports business in Russia: profit for this period amounted to 4.2 billion rubles.

As Ruspres previously reported, prior to leaving Russia last year, Fitch Ratings assigned Said Kerimov's Polyus a long-term rating of speculative grade 'BB-' (creditworthiness below sufficient) with a negative outlook. The rating was later withdrawn, officially for "commercial reasons". It is worth noting that the low rating blocked Polyus from investing NPF funds.
