Emin Agalarov, biography, news, photos. The story of Araz Agalarov - one of the “kings of Russian real estate Aras Agalarov and his mistress

The public is always interested in women who long years live with very wealthy men. One of these ladies is Irina Agalarova, whose biography, date of birth, details of her personal life constantly attract the attention of journalists and the general public. Let's talk about some of its details life path and about her worldview.

The beginning of the way

Most ladies, especially those who have crossed a certain age limit, try not to advertise their age. Irina Agalarova is no exception, whose date of birth is classified as classified information. However, simple arithmetic operations allow us to determine the approximate time of her birth; this is 1955-1956. A girl was born into a family of mountain Jews named Grill, in the Azerbaijani city of Baku. Irina Agalarova, whose nationality was never a reason for her to think about, grew up in an international environment and the Azerbaijani traditions are closest to her in life.

Wife

While still at school, Irina Agalarova (photo attached) met a classmate and a strong mutual sympathy arose between them. After school, each of the young people went their own way. Irina entered the Pedagogical Institute, Araz entered the Polytechnic Institute. However, this did not destroy their feelings for each other. And in their last year of university, the lovers got married. And for almost 40 years now, the Agalarovs have been happily married.

This, of course, is the great merit of a real woman - Irina Agalarova. She says that the secret of family longevity is “sincerity of feelings and a little intelligence”; she believes that you should not conflict on any issue, but should always strive for compromise and harmony. Irina has put her family first all her life, although she cannot sit idle.

Agalarova’s husband is today a major entrepreneur, owner of the Crocus Group company. He began his career at a research institute, then worked in the city party committee. In 1983, he was sent to Moscow, and Irina, without hesitation, went with her little son to pick up her husband. With the beginning of perestroika, Irina’s husband began doing business - selling souvenirs in the USA. In 1989, he and his father-in-law created the Crocus Group company, and later the family decided to move permanently to America.

In the early 2000s, the husband’s business required his constant presence in Russia, and a period began when the family lived in two countries. Irina alternates her stay in the USA with life in Russia. She says that the separation only strengthened her and her husband's feelings for each other. Although he admits that it was very difficult. She missed her husband and was jealous of him, but she also couldn’t be separated from her children for long. When the children grew up, Irina packed her things again and moved to Moscow to be with her husband.

Irina says that her husband is a democratic and sensitive person. He always listened to her wishes and did not put pressure on her. As an example, she gives a story about how she dreamed of having a house by the sea, where she could relax with her little son. And Agalarov built such a house, although the family did not yet have excess funds.

Mother

Irina Agalarova, a biography whose nationality is of such interest to the public, has always considered her family Azerbaijani. In the traditions of this culture, children are the most important thing in the family. Therefore, Irina always considered raising children to be her main task. The Agalarovs had two children: Emin in 1979 and Sheila in 1987. The family tried to give the children the best, but at the same time they did not spoil them, but raised them seriously. When the Agalarovs realized that in perestroika Moscow it was difficult to find a good education for their son, they sent him to Switzerland. And after moving to the USA, they sent me to an American school. Since 2001, Emin has been working in a family business. Since 2006, he has been engaged in a singing career. Irina notes that her son has always been musical, so it is not surprising that he began to study vocals.

Daughter Sheila studied at American school fashion and design. And Irina lived in two countries. She lived on constant flights, as she was needed by both her husband in Moscow and her daughter in the USA. When Sheila grew up, Irina moved to Moscow.

Irina Agalarova is a wonderful mother, she is friends with her children, knows well about their problems and difficulties, and always supports them in any situation. Emin Agalarov always speaks very tenderly and reverently about his mother.

Grandmother

Every woman experiences three main roles: wife, mother and grandmother. They say that the third role is the most conscious and deep, and Irina Agalarova is proof of this. Biography, nationality, income - all this does not play any role when we talk about grandmothers. Irina passionately loves her two grandchildren Ali and Mikail. They were born in the first marriage of her son Emin with the daughter of the President of Azerbaijan Leyla. This marriage has already broken up, but Irina continues to communicate with her grandchildren. She also considers Emina’s adopted daughter, Leila’s daughter, Amina, to be her own granddaughter. Despite being very busy, she spends a lot of time with her children and they often visit their grandmother.

Businesswoman

Modern women often cannot imagine their lives completely idle, and so is Irina Agalarova. A woman’s biography, nationality, and family are often studied, but few people know that she is also a working lady. At the beginning of its family life Irina did not consider it necessary for herself to sit at home, and went to work at the school where she taught English language. Later in Moscow she got a job as a translator at the Ministry of Consumer Services. Only when a second child appeared in the family did she become a housewife for some time. But later she decided to go into business. Together with a friend, she opened a beauty salon in the USA, and then two more Olivia beauty salons in Moscow. But she soon parted ways with the American business. In 2015, Agalarova decided to try her hand at trading and opened a fur store where exclusive fur coats will be sold.

Hobbies

The wife of a wealthy entrepreneur, Irina Agalarova, whose biography, whose nationality is always viewed through the prism of her husband’s success and fame, always says that her main concern is family. In addition, she devotes quite a lot of time to sports. She enjoys tennis and swimming. Unlike many women, she does not like shopping, although she knows how to appreciate beautiful things and always follows fashion trends when choosing clothes for herself. Despite the fact that Irina often has to take long flights, she does not like traveling. Just like her husband, she is a homebody. For her, there is nothing better than a family evening when her husband and children are nearby. All her dreams are always connected with children; she wants their life to turn out no worse than hers.

Life principles

Irina Agalarova, whose nationality implies special wisdom, says that her main slogan is: “No one can change, but everyone can become better.” She believes that every person should constantly work on themselves and expand their horizons. By the way, she also sees this as a guarantee that the husband will not lose interest in his wife.

Since then, Nobu's dishes have been driving us crazy. Hollywood stars and celebrities.

Attempts to open a Nobu branch in Moscow were made by famous metropolitan restaurateurs several times, but only the Agalarov family managed to convince the great chef that the quality of food and level of service in the new restaurant could be as high as in the entire chain. In April 2009 Nobu Moscow opened its doors to the capital's public. The project was the result of a partnership between Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, Meyer Teper, Aras and Emin Agalarov.

For a long time, people have been interested in how their neighbors, relatives and other families around them live. In the modern world, one of these niches is rightfully occupied by well-known and popular personalities, about which people are ready to talk for days on end, discussing who had how many wives and husbands, who earns and spends how, where they relax and how to promote themselves. But one of the most sensitive topics is considered to be the marriages of celebrity personalities, or rather, interethnic marriages among celebrities. The most interesting thing is how strong and sincere such relationships are; this is exactly the question that the experts from the department of the “Stock Leader” publication thought about.

The marriages of some of the artists became less successful, although people from different nationalities did not always get along

Subsequently, the couple’s breakup was very loud and even scandalous. Meanwhile, both Yana and Victor were born and raised in

When were you born in famous family, then he is practically doomed to be “the son of such and such” or “the daughter of so and so.” This feeling can either destroy your life, or, conversely, force you to prove to everyone that you are talented in your own right.

Emin Agalarov is primarily the son of Aras Agalarov, who created a luxury empire called Crocus City, a huge mall built outside the Moscow Ring Road. Having received an excellent education, Emin became the commercial director of Crocus City Mall. But, apparently, the painfully familiar whispering behind my back (“of course, daddy has already done everything for him”) did not allow Emin to sleep peacefully. And he decided to discover new talents in himself. I already knew that Emin has a sure-fire way to make any girl fall in love with him - take her to a karaoke bar and sing there. How many women's hearts were broken by My Way performed by him!

Digressing a little, I want to say that karaoke in Moscow is a whole world with its own laws and favorites, closed, unfortunately, to voiceless people like me. It turns out that, like good gamblers, known by name and merit, “karaoke players” are a special caste in which there is no place for strangers... As for Emin, having learned that on April 30 he will marry Leyla Aliyeva, the daughter of the President of Azerbaijan, I did not I was surprised. Although he is not a sea siren, he sings no worse!

Apparently, moving from a free life to a family life, Emin decided to move from karaoke to the big stage. A week before the wedding, he invited me to the presentation of his first disc. The entrance to the hall was decorated simply but tastefully: huge black and white photos from the first video by Emin Agalarov, directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk and cameraman Maxim Osadchiy. The best equipment was on stage - not every Kirkorov has this! There are only family friends in the hall, among whom are many stars: Vinokur and Leshchenko, Katya Lel with her boyfriend Igor, Zhanna Friske - alone, as always, but in stunning jeans, Timothy, Lada Dance and Ksenia Virganskaya-Gorbacheva.

Emin, as befits a star, came out late, but sang very soulfully. It was nice to see how happy his parents were. Irina Iosifovna Agalarova was the very first to come out with a huge bouquet of roses. “This is my mother,” the singer said modestly. In the video, which was shown on big screens, Emin was sad and hugged with beauties, apparently saying goodbye to his single life. I don’t know if his fiancee liked the clip, but during the concert she looked at the performer himself without stopping.

The songs turned out really beautiful and lyrical. I was glad to learn that Emin wrote 6 of the 12 songs on his first solo album himself, because it is so unusual when a man, instead of football and hunting, chooses writing poetry and music as a hobby. The only thing you need to know when meeting Aliyev’s future son-in-law is: why is the album of such a successful young man called Still or, as he himself translates, “For the time being”?

Emin Agalarov – famous singer, businessman, organizer music festivals. With the help of his talent, perseverance and hard work, he managed to conquer the heights not only in commerce, but also to win recognition from the capricious and fickle show business. Not everything in his career and personal life went smoothly, but he was used to achieving everything on his own, going through a sea of ​​failures in order to achieve oceans of success.

Biography of Emin Agalarov

Emin Aras Ogly Agalarov was born in Azerbaijan, in the city of Baku. His parents knew each other since school. After school, my father entered the Polytechnic Institute, and my mother entered the Pedagogical Institute. Having received higher education, the couple decided to get married.

Creativity and musical talent of Emin Agalarov

Emin combines seemingly two incompatible natures. One is a practical businessman, the other is a lyrical soul of a musician. They coexist remarkably well in his character and are expressed in the excellent vocal creativity and business qualities of a sharp businessman. Emin’s grandmother instilled a love for music. She performed touching and tender romances on which she was brought up a little boy. Growing up, he also showed good taste in music - he liked the rock and roll compositions of Elvis Presley.

Emin with grandmother

For the first time, the aspiring musician tried to perform a song on the well-known show “Open Mic Night” in America. Then he was only 18 years old, and he felt how exciting it was to go on stage and how much adrenaline was released into the blood when the aspiring singer met the audience.

The first album, 'Still', was released in 2006. Other collections of songs followed. Now their names are known to all fans of the artist’s work - “Incredible”, “Obsession”, “Devotion”, “Wonder”. The musician began to appear more and more often on the most prestigious stages of the world. He chose a pseudonym for his work that is completely in tune with his name - Emin.

Singer Emin's performance at Eurovision in 2012

Another achievement of that time was the release of the album “After the Thunder”, after which the organizers of the Jennifer Lopez tour invited Emin to perform at her concert in Baku.

One of the recent joint work– Emin and A-Studio’s song “If you’re near”, the video for which was released in 2017.

Emin’s business acumen also came in handy in musical creativity. In 2016 and 2017, he became the organizer of the “Heat” festival, which was held in the city of Baku. Most likely, this event will become an annual celebration of Russian music.
