He set up and liquidated at least 20 companies during the early 1990s. In sectors as diverse as tire re treading and bodyguard recruitment.

What about this Sibneft company?

In 1995, Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky acquired the controlling interest in the large oil company Sibneft. Berezovsky was an associate of President Boris Yeltsin.

Each partner paid USD 100 million for half of the company and rapidly turned it into billions.

He also owned the gas turbine powered yacht Sussurro. Sussurro was given to his ex-wife as part of a divorce settlement. And he owned the expedition yacht Luna.

He also owned the yacht Le Grand Blue, but he gave her to his friend Eugene Shvidler in 2006. Early 2014 Abramovich sold a London mansion for US$ 40 million to Tetra-Pack heir Hans Rausing.

In 2014 Abramovich sold Luna to Azerbaijani billionaire Farkhad Akhmedov. Akhmedov acquired his wealth through natural gas producer Northgas. Akhmedov sold Northgas in 2012.

We heard he is building a new private yacht, but we have not been able to identify the project. Update: its the new Solaris yacht.

Is the Yacht Solaris the largest in the world?

We were told that Abramovich is the new owner of the yacht Solaris. Project Solaris is an expedition yacht. She is more than 140 meter long. Some sources claim she will be much longer: near 200 meters.

She is under construction at Lloyd Werft in Bremen Germany. We found an article in a German newspaper, more or less confirming this news. Production started in 2017, which makes sense given the current status of the hull.

Lloyd Werft also built his previous expedition yacht Luna, which he sold to Farkhad Akhmedov.

Who is Abramovich Wife?

He was married to Dasha Zhukova and they have two children. Dasha comes from a rich family, her father is oligarch Alexander Zhukov.

He was married twice before, his first wife was Olga. That marriage was before he became rich.

His second wife Irina was a stewardess. She apparently rece ived a US$ 300 million divorce settlement. And is said to have received the yacht Sussurro as part of the settlement.

When did he Divorce from Dasha?

In August 2017 it was announced that Roman and Dasha will separate after a 10 year marriage. But they will continue to work together in business. She will probably receive a divorce settlement of a few hundred million.
