His first financial resource was the wedding gift received from his parents-in-law.

Shortly after the wedding, he gave up on his studies to follow his dream: to become a businessman.

The first phase of his dream included the sale of some plastic toys that looked like ducks from his Moscow apartment.

This young man’s parents died when he was four and he was raised by his grandmother and uncle.

At the age of 21, Roman Abramovich made his debut on the black market after collecting the money from the wedding.

His companies became legal in the early 90’s. By then, Abramovich opened and dissolved more than 20 different companies.

At the age of 26, Roman Abramovich was arrested and accused of stealing the country’s belongings.

Nine years later, the young man who sold plastic ducks in his apartment was to become a Chukotka governor.

According to the Russian businessman, he was totally innocent when he was arrested in that case.

‘There were problems with the banking system. The money lost by the refinery were discovered and I was freed’, said the Russian billionaire.

Luxury and opulence are the best words to describe the life of this Russian billionaire.

The parties organized by Roman are legendary, including the New Year’s Eve high-class event on the St. Barts island.

Currently, the Russian legend owns the Chelsea football club and he is Russia’s third wealthiest man.

His massive fortune is worth a staggering 12 billion euros.

Roman lives in London and has six children.
