Childhood and youth

Roman's biography begins in the city on the Neva on April 7, 1981. In the distant times of perestroika, the boy’s father trained young judokas and taught self-defense lessons at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Mother Irina Haranen held a position in the city's trade department.

Roman has it younger brother, named after his father Boris. Like the rest of the Rotenberg men, the biography of Boris Jr. is inextricably linked with sports. True, unlike his older relatives, the young man plays football professionally.

The family is already in Soviet years occupied far from ordinary positions of ordinary people. Boris’s older brother is also involved in judo and conducted coaching practice. In addition, the current billionaire, the main person of Russian hockey, has often been a sparring partner since childhood.

Roman's mother had Finnish roots. In Leningrad, the boy entered school No. 204 near the Hermitage, the main distinctive feature which was the study of the Finnish language. Knowledge of the language served him well when the family immigrated to Helsinki in 1991. In Finland, a student went to a regular high school and eventually received citizenship of the country.

From childhood, his father instilled in his son a love of sports, and from the age of five he took Roman to training. However, the boy’s heart belonged to hockey, which he became interested in from the age of 11. After graduating from school, the young man entered a sports college, planning to continue his career as an athlete. My father warmly supported this decision.

In 1999, the teenager's parents separated, and Boris returned to St. Petersburg. Irina Haranen, who remained committed to economics and entrepreneurship, insisted on educating her son in London. Roman himself did not speak out against it, because, according to his admission, he understood that a diploma in economics was much more profitable for future profession. In London, Roman received a master's degree in international entrepreneurship.

Career and business

An excellent education, connections between his father and uncle in his homeland, a perspicacious mind and ambition opened the door for Roman to the world of young millionaires. In 2005, Rotenberg returned to Russia, where older family members had already achieved high status, being co-owners of SMP Bank.

However, Roman decided to build a career not in structures belonging to the dynasty. Following the advice of Rotenberg Sr., in 2006, the young businessman successfully passed an interview at Gazprom's subsidiary, Gazprom Export.

And in 2009, a businessman’s career began at Gazprombank, where Roman currently holds the post of vice president. To obtain a position young man I had to go through the procedure for restoring citizenship and receive a Russian economic education.

Despite the fact that Rotenberg did not become a hockey player, his life is associated with Russian hockey. Since 2015, the entrepreneur has been on the board of directors of the Continental Hockey League founded by A. I. Medvedev. Since 2011, by invitation, he has been vice-president of the hockey club of his hometown - SKA. And in 2014 he received the position of vice-president of the Russian Hockey Federation.

An enterprising, diplomatic entrepreneur, well versed in hockey and with many connections, brilliantly copes with the responsibilities of developing a marketing strategy and attracting funding for the national team.

It is not surprising that Rotenberg is developing directions own business directly or indirectly related to sports. In particular, Roman is the founder of a company producing Russian sports nutrition. Conducts business in the field of sports marketing and equipment. Roman developed and popularized the “Red Machine” brand in the symbols and attributes of modern hockey. Owns the Finnish stadium Hartwall Arena.

Personal life

A handsome young wealthy man could not do without female attention and broken hearts. In 2010, the press exploded with the news that the top model from Latvia, Marta Berzkalna, became the wife of a businessman. The young people decided to legalize their relationship a few months after they met. Wedding Dress the bride chose in an accelerated manner. A luxurious ceremony took place near Helsinki in Finland.

A detailed interview with the newlyweds in Tatler, accompanied by numerous photos married couple, unfortunately, did not remain relevant for long.

Soon, Martha, unable to bear her husband’s constant fans, left Roman, being in her fifth month of pregnancy. The girl left for the United States, where she is raising a child on her own. Of course, the young father did not abandon his responsibilities as a parent and financially supports ex-wife.

Eligible groom did not remain single for long after he divorced Martha. Soon he was seen in the company of model Galina Keda. Since 2012, young people have been living together civil marriage. In 2013, the beauty gave Roman a daughter, Arina, and in 2015, a son, Roman.

However, Rotenberg has another son, Robert, who was born in the same significant year of 2015 by another model, Margarita Banet. The entrepreneur’s children do not need anything and are fully provided for, just like their mothers.

It is noteworthy that the girls are aware of each other's existence. The press and subscribers are watching with interest the photos that appear with enviable frequency on the Instagram pages of both young mothers. One gets the impression that the beauties staged an unspoken competition.

The businessman was credited with an affair with a fatal beauty from the world rhythmic gymnastics. However, the girl explained in an interview that she and Roman were just good friends and no amorous relationships arose between the young people.

Roman Rotenberg now

In 2018, the vice president of SKA is making optimistic plans for the development of the club. However, the performance of the players' hockey players' games at the beginning of the year leaves much to be desired. The team was eliminated from the competition for the Gagarin Cup.

The victory of the national hockey team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, according to Rotenberg, will be a new starting point for the development of Russian hockey. At the same time, the national team coach Oleg Znarok, who is also the head coach of SKA, leaves his post after the Olympic victory.

According to media reports, Roman Rotenberg is tired of the rudeness, arrogance and disrespectful attitude of the head coach. And Znarok himself said that he was tired psychologically. In general, the cards fell in such a way that the national team coach, like the SKA coach, changed. Ilya Vorobyov became the new mentor.

Condition assessment

On one's own financial condition Rotenberg's novel has not been evaluated by reputable economic publications. The young entrepreneur was not included in the lists of oligarchs and the wealthiest people in Russia and the world.

But the Rotenberg family, including Roman, has been included in the ranking of the richest dynasties in the Russian Federation for more than one year. In 2014, businessmen occupied first place according to Forbes estimates. Due to the sanctions policy in 2015, the Rotenbergs lost the title of the richest in the country and moved to second place, losing the position of leader to the Gutserievs’ business.
