The Rotenberg family is practically our answer to the Kardashians, although the domestic dynasty of billionaires is still less public. The names of its representatives appear every now and then in business publications and gossip columns, but not everyone knows who is who in this family. If you haven’t figured it out yet, let’s explain who the brothers Arkady and Boris Rotenberg are and who is in their immediate circle.

66-year-old Arkady Rotenberg is the chairman of the board of directors of Stroygazmontazh LLC, general director of the Yavara-Neva judo sports club. By the way, it was the passion for judo that played a decisive role in the life of the businessman: one of young Arkady’s comrades in the martial arts section was Vladimir Putin. They still maintain friendly relations.

From 2005 to 2013, Arkady was married to Natalya Rotenberg, who now lives in England with their common children, Varvara and Arkady.

More recently, the ex-wife of the oligarch came out, in which she said that she treats well ex-husband and "always puts him on a pedestal":

He was for me a teacher, a sage, a father, a husband, a friend, a helper, everything, he was God in general for me. You know, even now I don’t have enough conversations with him, because I have now become independent and strong. Sometimes I miss those times when I wanted to pretend to be weak, forget about stilettos, and just disappear into a man.

Now, apparently, everything is fine with Natalia again on the personal front: shortly before the release of the sensational interview, she published a romantic photo on Instagram with 52-year-old Armenian businessman Tigran Arzakantsyan, adding the caption “as one of the hashtags.” new story love."

In addition, Natalya is involved in event organization, design and her own charitable foundation.

— Pavel said in an interview.

He first appeared on the ice at the age of five. However, it’s probably not entirely accidental: his father was once president hockey club"Dynamo", then headed the board of the Russian Hockey Federation.

Son: Boris

Boris Rotenberg Jr., who is now 32 years old, has been playing football since childhood. He currently plays for Lokomotiv Moscow, played in the Finnish national team, and played in several Russian teams.

The footballer himself tries not to pay attention to such conversations and says that for him, on the contrary, they are motivation for self-development.

The athlete has a 5-year-old daughter, Leah, and a son, about whom we were unable to find any information. As well as about Boris’s wife: he is so closed about his personal life that all the information that journalists learned: they met while studying at St. Petersburg University and Rotenberg had to make an effort to win the girl’s favor.

However, after some time, the young man finally got hold of Martha’s phone number, and it turned out that they had a lot in common. They decided to get married just a couple of months after they met.

When people fall so in love with each other, there is no point in delaying the wedding. We all coincided in an amazing way,

— the girl said in an interview.

However, the marriage was not happy: the wife left the billionaire in the fifth month of pregnancy and returned to New York. Now she is raising them common daughter Martina, Rotenberg supports his daughter and ex-wife.

Rotenberg Roman Borisovich: personal life

The successful Russian businessman in secular society was known as a true admirer and admirer of the fair sex, and for a long time remained a desirable spouse for hundreds of its representatives.

At the age of 26, Roman met the Latvian model Marta Berzkalna, with whom he married a few months after the start of the relationship. The newlyweds often appeared in public, and, at first glance, the couple was absolutely happy, but the family did not last long. At the time of the divorce, Martha was five months pregnant, but this factor did not become an argument for continuing the relationship. However, the born child ex-spouse provides decent financial support.

Roman Borisovich Rotenberg met his next wife in 2012. A girl named Galina became Russian businessman common-law spouse and bore him two children: a girl Arina and a boy Roman. As it turned out later, Rotenberg had another son in October 2015. His mother was a famous model in Russia, Margarita Banet.

Roman Rotenberg has many positions, and very high ones - he is a manager, a director of a company, and a sports functionary. Whatever he undertakes, success accompanies him everywhere. But how did this fairy tale begin? Happy acquaintance. Or rather, the acquaintance of his father, a master of sports in judo, with another judoka.

Roman Borisovich Rotenberg: family and childhood

Rotenberg was born into the family of Boris Rotenberg in 1981. My father attended the judo section at the police academy, and it was at one of these training sessions that he met the future President of Russia Putin. In the early 90s, the country was falling apart, and Roman’s parents decided to emigrate to Finland. Therefore, the whole family began to study Finnish and English in advance. In Finland, Roman went to third grade. In his new place, Roman Rotenberg fought a lot: at that time Russians were not very liked in Finland. This is where Roman was helped by the fact that he and his father attended the judo section since childhood.

Then Roman developed a new hobby - hockey. He went to the local hockey school, where he spent time from morning to evening. Roman Borisovich Rotenberg always remembered this period with warmth. But the children's happiness did not last long - in 1999 the parents divorced. The mother insisted on her son moving to London, where he could study business and make many useful connections. Despite the fact that his father was against it, Roman still left for this metropolis.

Return to Russia

The studies were successful, and Roman Rotenberg defended his diploma, but he did not stay in London to implement his business plan, despite great prospects, and returned to Russia. In one of the interviews, when asked by a journalist why he did this, Roman replied that he was drawn to Russia “as a human being.”

Returning to Russia, Roman refused the offer of his father Boris and uncle Arkady to get a job in their already successful business. He didn’t want the employees of their company to say behind his back that he got a job through connections. Instead, he gets a job at Gazprom Export, although he still cannot do without his father. He arranged an interview for him, but an interview is not the same as getting him a job. He was hired by the head of the company, Alexander Medvedev.

Rotenberg and hockey

Roman did in his position something completely different from what he was trained in London. He prepared press conferences and organized meetings. Roman did not refuse any work, and fate rewarded him. Since at that moment Russian hockey needed reforms, the head of Gazprom Export, Alexander Medvedev, was tasked with developing a plan for the creation of the KHL (Continental Hockey League). This is where the talents of Roman Rotenberg came in handy. The KHL Marketing company was created to implement this business idea, and Roman was appointed deputy general director.

In 2009, an economic forum was held in St. Petersburg, which was attended by many successful businessmen. Representatives of Gazprombank were also there, with whom Roman met. Deciding to change his life after talking with them, he decided to go to work in this bank, but difficulties arose. Firstly, he did not have the necessary citizenship, and secondly, he did not have a Russian financial education. The process of obtaining citizenship took three years, during which Roman Rotenberg managed to obtain the necessary financier diploma.

Hockey is not a thing of the past either. Gennady Timchenko, president of the SKA hockey club, suggested young specialist become vice president of marketing. Roman happily agreed and began working in his new position to attract new viewers, sell rights and club paraphernalia, and organize broadcasts of matches.

Rotenberg and personal business

Everything Roman did was work for someone, but not for himself. Since he loves sports with all his heart, he personal business must be related to sports. In 2011, the younger Rotenberg founded the Doctor Sport company, which produces sports nutrition.

After some time, it becomes clear that Roman Rotenberg is a good businessman, because the company began to make a profit. Due to his success, he decides to start producing special magnets that give strength and accelerate the healing of injuries.

Roman Borisovich Rotenberg: personal life

Roman met his wife, Latvian top model Marta Bezkalna, in March 2011, and five months later the wedding took place. They live in Moscow and are quite happy. According to Martha, they are not planning to have children yet.

In 1999, the father separated from his wife and returned to the city of St. Petersburg. By Roman’s own admission, building a sports career was risky, so the young man went to study in London. After a year of studying at the preparatory courses, Rotenberg entered the European Business School London at the Faculty of International Business and received a master's degree in entrepreneurial management. After graduation, my father offered to stay and work at Barclays Bank in London, but my mother invited me to Finland.

Rotenberg decided to return to Russia and find work outside the structures of his father and uncle Arkady, who at that time had already become well-known entrepreneurs and co-owners of SMP Bank. On the advice of his father, Roman chose Gazprom Export, where international connections and foreign languages ​​could be useful.

A year later, Gennady Timchenko, president of the St. Petersburg hockey club SKA, invited Roman Rotenberg to the position of vice president of the club. Later, Roman Borisovich Rotenberg was appointed to the position of advisor to the chairman of the board Andrei Akimov and is responsible for attracting large clients.

In the summer of 2013, the Rotenberg family and Gennady Timchenko bought 100% of the Finnish holding Arena Events OY, which owns and manages the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki.

In December, Roman Rotenberg acquired 80% of the Telesport marketing agency from Pyotr Makarenko. The latter remains the owner of 20% of Telesport. The entire team - 60 people - will continue to work. The agency became part of the Sportconcept group of companies. In May 2015, it became known that the deal had not been finalized. The reason given was that there were serious disagreements between Telesport and the Russian Football Union.

Rotenberg joined the KHL board of directors on January 20, 2015. After half a year, Doctor Sport had more than 50 stores, which makes the company one of the largest players in the sports nutrition market in Russia. The company is a sponsor of the SKA club.

In July 2015, it was announced that Rotenberg intended to buy Rossport Sewing and Printing Production LLC, a manufacturer of sports uniforms and paraphernalia and the main supplier of Russian sports clubs. By expert assessments, the cost of the share could be about 60 million rubles, with the entire business valued at 75-80 million rubles. At the end of July, the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control expanded its sanctions list, including Roman Rotenberg and the Finnish Oy Langvik Capital Ltd.
