Mikhail Rybolovlev. Dmitry Ryboblev - biography, information, personal life. At the beginning of a business career
Chuprakova Elena Anatolyevna graduated from the Perm Medical Institute, where during her studies she met her future husband and the father of her two daughters, now a famous billionaire.
Business and marriage
A student romance seven years later resulted in marriage, and two years later, in 1989, the couple had their first child - daughter Ekaterina.
In the late 80s, the newly made spouses began to build own business. Their first enterprise was a clinic specializing in magnetic therapy treatment. Having earned a certain amount, the businessman spouses invested them in Russian industrial enterprises. Investments began to bring them income: for example, in 1995, her husband became a co-owner of Uralkali and acquired shares in Silvinit (Solikamsk), Azot (Berezniki), Metafrax (Gubakha), and Solikamskbumprom. In the same year, the Rybolovlev family moved to Switzerland, where in 2001 they had the birth youngest daughter Anna.
Despite their growing prosperity, their marriage began to crack at the seams, and in December 2008, Elena filed for divorce in a Swiss court. The reason for her drastic decision was, as the media write, infidelity on the part of her husband. The marriage contract between them was never concluded, and therefore the division of property dragged on for years. Tatler wrote that in 2005, the oligarch invited his wife to sign a marriage contract, according to which in the event of a divorce she would receive 100 million euros, but she refused. According to various publications, ex-wife billionaire decided to defend her rights in several courts at once different countries. Thus, in 2010, the Geneva court imposed interim measures on the assets of Dmitry Evgenievich until the end divorce proceedings.
The ex-wife of the main shareholder of Uralkali has already announced her husband’s attempts to hide part of the assets, for which he organized two trusts in Cyprus and a number of companies in Virgin Islands. In August 2013, she filed an additional lawsuit in Hawaii state court due to the fact that ex-husband buys real estate en masse in order to avoid divorce payments.
In May 2014, a Geneva court ordered the oligarch to hand over ex-wife half of his fortune - $4.5 billion, as well as other property. The decision made their divorce settlement the most expensive in history. However, the businessman began to challenge it, and in June the second instance reduced the amount of the payment to $604 million, in addition to which she received two houses in Switzerland. Thus, the litigation, which lasted about seven years, ended with a settlement agreement only in the fall of 2015. At the same time, a ruling was made on the businessman’s assets, transferred in the interests of the heirs to a trust before the divorce began in 2008: they were declared inviolable.
It is unknown what the oligarch’s ex-wife does; the media call her a private investor.
Having received a decent fortune at the end of the divorce proceedings, the businesswoman immediately entered the top 200 richest Russians according to the Forbes magazine rating. Moreover, she became the first woman to participate in this rating due to separation from her husband.
On August 26, 2016, Elena Anatolyevna entered the list of 25 for the first time richest women Russia and immediately found itself in an honorable 2nd place. Then his fortune was estimated at $600 million, and among the two hundred richest businessmen in Russia she took 142nd place.
April 21, 2017 Forbes Woman noted the five richest women in the country, among whom she has been in the top three for the second year (2nd position with $600 million).
