Doctor Sport was founded by SMP Bank, which allocated a budget of $20 million for three years to finance the new project. According to the company, it aims to provide athletes with quality and doping-free nutrition. The idea to create a Russian manufacturer of sports nutrition belongs to Alexander Medvedev, who in 2010 instructed Roman Rotenberg, together with the KHL Medical Center, to study the issue of import substitution. The American company GNC, one of the largest manufacturers and sellers of sports nutrition, vitamins, energy drinks and proteins, was taken as an example of a business model.

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, then 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.

Member of one of the richest and most influential Russian families Roman Rotenberg, like his relatives, is a sports fan. Success in business is accompanied by participation in hockey life countries. A love relationship the young oligarch is reminded of Mexican passions.

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 schoolboy went to regular school 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 with an excellent understanding of hockey and many connections, he 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.

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, CEO sports club judo "Yawara-Neva". 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.

Rotenberg is now in 40th place on the list richest businessmen Russia according to Forbes calculations. The publication estimated his fortune at $3 billion, and also awarded him third place in the 2018 “Kings of Government Contracts” ranking.

As for his personal life, it is known that the entrepreneur has five children and was married twice.

First wife: Galina

Nothing is known about Rotenberg's first wife except that her name was Galina and she gave birth to her husband's three children - daughter Lilia, sons Pavel and Igor.

Second wife: Natalya

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

Most recently, the ex-wife of the oligarch came out, in which she said that she was good to ex-husband and "always puts him on a pedestal":

He was my teacher, sage, father, husband, friend, helper, everything, he was God in general for me. You know, and now there are not enough conversations with him, because now I have become independent, strong. Sometimes I miss those times when I want to pretend to be weak, forget about stilettos, just dissolve in a man.

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

In addition, Natalia organizes events, design and her charitable foundation.

It is only known that he has already divorced his wife Alina.

Alina Rotenberg: "A moment of nostalgia. My first wedding and my wonderful first husband! I sorted out the secret drawers of the table and found a lot of funny pictures. By the way, I don't understand people who talk badly about the former"

I started playing hockey by accident. A friend who is a year older than me started playing hockey, and then I did too.

— 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 the president of the Dynamo hockey club, then headed the board of the Russian Hockey Federation.

61-year-old Boris Rotenberg is a co-owner and member of the board of directors of SMP Bank, vice-president of the Russian Judo Federation. In the Forbes ranking, he is this moment ranks 83rd with a net worth of approximately $1.2 billion.

My marriage with Boris was based on feelings of first love. At the age of 17, we were both incredibly beautiful, smart, intelligent... And this marriage took place, and it was happy. Years have passed, a lot has changed, but I still have good relationships with Boris, with his brother Arkady, with Arkady’s children from his first marriage to his wife Galina - Igor and Lilia, and - his children from subsequent marriages.

Second wife: Karina

The girl has always loved horses, now she is the head of the Moscow Equestrian Federation. They say that one of the Rotenbergs' dachas near Monaco was designed specifically for working with horses.

On Karina’s Instagram page, many photos are dedicated to this hobby of hers; she also often publishes family shots, including romantic photos with husband.

We are like “Masha and the Bear”. I’m so small and clingy, but he’s big, strong, no matter what he puts up with me and doesn’t let me go anywhere,

— Karina signed one of the frames with Boris.

The couple has three children: 8-year-old twins Sofia and Dani, and youngest daughter Leona. It is known that Sofia Rotenberg is making her first successes in music: for example, at the anniversary of Viktor Drobysh, the girl sang a song together with the daughter of the hero of the day, Lida. And this year she already sang a duet with Valeria (the singer and her husband Joseph Prigogine are friends with Karina and Boris).

Children of Boris Rotenberg

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 press, of course, was ironic about the fact that Boris’s sports career was promoted mainly thanks to his influential father. The football player 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.

Son: Roman

Roman's first wife: Marta

Rotenberg was married to a fairly famous Latvian model Marta Berzkalne. The couple met during a hockey match in the stands thanks to a mutual friend. As the girl said in an interview, at first future husband seemed very arrogant to her and she didn’t even intend to communicate with him. 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.

Roman's second wife: Galina

In August of this year, Roman met his beloved, 30-year-old model Galina Keda. They have been together for a long time: six years ago, the girl gave birth to the businessman’s daughter Arina, and then his son Roman. Galina describes her occupation on Instagram as “twice mother, dreamer.”

Bastard
