The EU has sanctioned both Andrey and his wife Aleksandra, following Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Melnichenko ceded ownership of coal company SUEK AO and fertilizer company EuroChem Group AG to Alexandra on March 8, a day before the EU put him on a sanctions list.
The EU accused him of being close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Melnichenko has challenged the sanctions by lodging an appeal with the EU’s General Court, which handles complaints against European institutions.

Melnichenko owns many houses. A villa in Cap D’Antibes named Villa Altair and a $12 million penthouse in New York. And the US$ 40 million Harewood Estate in the UK. The house is legally owned by a company named Sablon Holdings LTD on Guernsey.
According to a 2008 building permit the Harewood Estate employs 14 gardening staff, 4 housekeepers, 2 house managers, and 3 security guards. The Harewood Estate lies just to the south of Windsor Great Park. And approximately 1.5 miles to the east of Ascot.
It comprises some 14.8 hectares of associated formal gardens, parkland and forest/woodland. Still, it is not as expensive as Bill Gates’ house which has an estimated value of US$ 131 million.
He is owner of the amazing Sailing Yacht A, which is sometimes called a sail-assisted motor yacht. We actually have some photos of the yacht under sail. See some here. Melnichenko used to own Motor Yacht A which he sold to Japanese Billionaire Masayoshi Son.
