00:00Putin's three daughters, Maria Voronsova, Katerina Tikhonova and Luisa Rozova, lead lives dripping with luxury.
00:07Their wealth was so intoxicatingly immense that it provoked the U.S. government to sanction them.
00:12From Maria, whose collaboration with the medical enterprise Nomeco brought her an impressive sum of 597 million rubles,
00:19to Katerina, whose magnetic leadership spearheaded a provocative $1.7 billion campus expansion project,
00:25to the youthful allure of Luisa, who seductively claimed a luxurious mansion on Kameny Island at just 18 years old.
00:32These young women, hidden in an irresistible veil of secrecy, have seductively woven their innuence into academia, business and global politics.
00:40In this video, we will uncover how their power pulsates through every whispered story of their accomplishments.
00:45Let's begin with the net worth and lifestyle of Putin's daughters.
00:49Putin's daughters, Maria Voronsova and Katerina Tikhonova, do not lead public lives.
00:54Their public appearances are as rare as whispers on the wind, with no tantalizing glimpses of their world gracing Russian papers.
01:00The public is left to wonder, their lives cloaked in a veil of quiet elegance and unspoken allure.
01:05More than anything else, Putin does this out of concern for their safety, knowing fully well that he has made a few enemies after all.
01:12In a bid to keep his daughters a secret, it was alleged that his children went to school using false identities.
01:17He did this by ensuring they did not bear his name in school.
01:19But now, his daughters have blossomed into captivating young women, each carving out her path with poise and ambition.
01:26The eldest, Maria, has drawn attention not only for her striking elegance, but also for her impressive acumen.
01:31It's reported that she has amassed a fortune exceeding $10 million within three short years, thanks to her aliation with a prestigious and well-connected medical enterprise.
01:40Despite the shadow of her father's political stature, Maria has carved out her own identity, particularly in the eld of medicine.
01:47Her expertise in endocrinology did not just remain within the conners of academia.
01:52Maria Vorontsova took her knowledge and applied it to real-world scenarios, which eventually led her to the new medical company called Nomeco.
01:59In 2019, Maria made a significant career move by becoming a co-founder of Nomeco.
02:04As a co-founder, Maria poured her passion and energy into shaping the vision and direction of Nomeco.
02:10Her involvement was far from supercial.
02:12She was intimately engaged in the strategic planning and decisions that would carve the company's future.
02:17Her presence on the director's council exuded a commanding allure, amplifying her innuence and allowing her to guide Nomeco with a seductive blend of ambition, vision and determination.
02:27Nomeco, under Maria's alluring and visionary guidance, quickly rose as a formidable force in the medical industry.
02:33The company pursued innovative medical solutions and forged partnerships that redeigned healthcare delivery with elegance and precision.
02:40Maria's role was magnetic, her seductive charm and strategic nests drawing in powerful alliances and securing investments that fueled Nomeco's meteoric rise, solidifying its place as a trailblazer in the eld.
02:53From 2019 to 2022, Maria Vorontsova's involvement with Nomeco was not just about leadership and vision.
03:00It was also about financial success.
03:01During this period, she earned an astounding 944 million rubles, equivalent to $10.7 million.
03:08This impressive earning was a result of her strategic decisions and the protable ventures that Nomeco embarked upon under her leadership.
03:15Under Maria's leadership, Nomeco's annual earnings saw a dramatic increase.
03:18In 2018, the company had no prots.
03:21But by the time Maria joined as a co-founder and member of the director's council, the company's earnings skyrocketed.
03:27By 2021, Nomeco's annual earnings had reached V197 million rubles, nearly $6.8 million.
03:34In addition to her earnings from Nomeco, Maria also received a monthly salary from Moscow State University, where she was nominally registered as an employee of the Fundamental Medicine Faculty.
03:44This position, while not as naturally rewarding as her role at Nomeco, provided her with an additional income stream.
03:50Her monthly salary of 110,000 rubles, approximately $1,250, added to her overall earnings, showcasing her ability to maintain multiple income sources.
04:01Maria Voronsova is now married to Yevgeny Nagorny, 33, who complained over a decade ago online about police torture under Putin's repressive rules.
04:10These achievements make it clear that while Putin kept his daughters out of the public eye, he ensured they received a quality education and the tools needed to carve their own paths to success.
04:20The second daughter, a former acrobatic dancer with a grace that commands attention, is no exception to the legacy of Inuits shaping Moscow's elite.
04:28Katerina Tikhonova, widely believed to be Vladimir Putin's second daughter, has woven an intricate tapestry of wealth and power.
04:35Her allure lies not only in her poised elegance, but also in her sharp intellect, driving her success through high-prole academic achievements, corporate prowess and state-backed ventures.
04:44Her rise is further adorned by intimate connections with innuential Russian oligarchs, solidifying her place among the next generation of power players in Russia's elite circles.
04:53Katerina was largely unknown to the public until 2015, when Reuters conramed her identity after rumors about her role in Russian academia began circulating.
05:02Reportedly using her maternal grandmother's surname, Tikhonova, she held a prominent position at Moscow State University, where she directed numerous state-funded projects and led a high-prole $1.7 billion campus expansion project.
05:15At the university, her social advisors included close Putin allies, many of whom were former KGB associates of her father.
05:22This elite network has not only provided her with professional support, but has also helped channel state resources toward her initiatives.
05:29Her research contributions and leadership in developing scientific projects further solidied her academic reputation.
05:35Tikhonova has also represented Russian science at international events such as the St. Petersburg Economic Forum.
05:41The extent of her innuence in Russian scientific circles is dikult to measure, but it is clear that her ties to the Kremlin have facilitated her projects,
05:49as seen in the substantial government funding and organizational support she has received from her marriage to Kirill Shamalov.
05:56In addition to her academic career, Tikhonova's wealth grew substantially through her marriage to Kirill Shamalov, the son of Nikolai Shamalov, a close associate of Putin and a shareholder in Bank Rossiya.
06:07Bank Rossiya is widely considered a personal bank for Russia's elite, and it has reportedly played a role in managing the wealth of high-ranking Oshals and oligarchs.
06:15Shortly after his marriage to Tikhonova, he purchased a 3.8% stake in Sibur from Gennady Timchenko, another close Putin ally, for a reported $100, far below the stake's estimated $380 million market value.
06:29This deal not only elevated Shamalov to billionaire status, but also underscored the advantages available to individuals in Putin's inner circle.
06:37The wealth from these corporate ventures enabled Tikhonova and Shamalov to enjoy a life of opulence with luxury properties in Russia and abroad.
06:45They acquired a villa in Biarritz, France, valued at about $3.7 million.
06:49This villa, along with other high-end properties in exclusive Russian neighborhoods near Putin's residences, illustrates the luxurious lifestyle aordid to them through these deals.
06:59Investigative reports based on leaked emails and documents by iStories and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, OCRP, revealed the couple's extensive spending on property and furnishing.
07:10Aside from the two older daughters of Putin, there is another alleged daughter of Putin named Luisa Rozova.
07:16It was reported that it was Putin's former maid-turned-millionaire, Svetlana Krivonogic, who birthed her.
07:22Luisa was born into a wealthy and privileged family, but her life has always been surrounded by mystery.
07:27People whisper about who her real father might be, making her story even more fascinating.
07:31Though no oshal connomation exists, the threads linking Luisa to Putin have sparked endless curiosity.
07:37Her lavish lifestyle, marked by indulgence and luxury, serves as a seductive hint of her possible ties to the powerful Russian leader, leaving those who follow her story captivated by the mystery she embodies.
07:48The wealth that surrounds Luisa and Svetlana is staggering.
07:51Svetlana is reported to have amassed a fortune estimated at $100 million, a gur that includes nantial and property assets.
07:58In the heart of St. Petersburg, surrounded by lush greenery and the tranquil waters of the Neva River, lies Kameni Island, an area known for its luxury and exclusivity.
08:07Here stands a grand property, rumored to be the childhood home of Luisa Rozova.
08:11This residence represents the lavish lifestyle of Russia's elite.
08:15Listed by the prestigious real estate RM Engel & Volkers, the property is a penthouse that covers over 4,800 square feet.
08:22It is one of only 21 apartments in the private Berezovaia alley complex, known for its seclusion and exclusivity.
08:29The building's classical design is surrounded by a moat, enhancing its privacy and prestige.
08:33This isn't just a home, it's a fortress of luxury.
08:36Inside, the RS level of the penthouse features a grand living room decorated with plush furniture and elegant decor.
08:42Adjacent to the living room is a large terrace owing stunning views of the Neva River, creating a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.
08:50On the second floor, a serene bedroom offers comfort and tranquility, while a playful children's room adds a light-hearted touch.
08:56This floor balances peace and fun, reflecting the diverse needs of the home's residents.
09:01The third floor is where luxury truly shines, featuring a luxurious wet bar for entertaining, a sleek home theatre for private screenings, and a sun lounge decorated in dazzling gold foil,
09:11perfect for basking in sunlight and indulging in the extravagant lifestyle the property owers.
09:16This property is a place where privacy is highly valued, and every need is met with careful attention.
09:21More than just a house, it provides a way of life that most people can only dream of.
09:25After the publication of Louisa's name and her potential ties to Putin last year, her social media following surged by thousands.
09:32The teenager was frequently seen travelling on a private business jet, shuttling between Russia, Monaco and Paris.
09:38By the age of 18, she had launched her own fashion line and was quickly gaining recognition as a sought-after DJ.
09:43Her brand was described as awring, casual clothes for everyday wear.
09:47She was seen arriving at her 18th birthday celebration at a popular Moscow club in a BMW 7 series, which was previously assigned to the Russian culture minister.
09:56Louisa gained 84,000 followers on Instagram, where she shared glimpses of her lavish lifestyle.
10:01Liza has a taste for luxury items.
10:04That's pretty much all that she posts on her Instagram.
10:06Luxury stew that she owns.
10:08However, after receiving significant backlash, she suddenly disappeared from social media, leading to concern and speculation among her followers.
10:15A critic recently commented on Liza's latest Instagram post, pointing out that the caption was a clever pun.
10:21The critic explained that when the letter B was read in Cyrillic and the rest in Latin, the brand name spelled Vovotchka, a diminutive of Vladimir, which referred to her father, Vladimir Putin.
10:31The critic went on to describe some of the reactions to the post, which were all with resentment and frustration.
10:37One comment mentioned that it was nice of Liza to buy luxury items with their money, while another lamented that she had just spent their grandmother's pension.
10:44A third commenter expressed that they saw their parents' money being spent, and another harshly criticized her, claiming that she had bought the items with their taxes.
10:52There were also accusations aimed at her father, with one person, telling her to tell him to go away after claiming he had ransacked their country, and another blamed the city's poor infrastructure, stating that he now understands why the roads in the cities never get X'd.
11:06The critic summarized the more scathing remarks, including one that suggested Liza's lavish lifestyle came at the expense of the Russian people.
11:14One commenter had sarcastically noted that it was not cheap to sustain her luxury lifestyle, and claimed that her father had to kill and poison people with Novichok, raise taxes, and increase the retirement age.
11:24After reading these troubling comments, it becomes clear why Putin was so cautious about revealing too much about his daughter's identities.
11:31U.S. sanctions Putin's hidden heiresses.
11:34Katerina Tikhonova's activities have not gone unnoticed internationally.
11:37Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, both the United States and the European Union placed sanctions on her and her sister, Maria Vorontsova.
11:47The sanctions are designed to curtail Putin's ability to subtly wield his family's innuents as proxies in managing his assets, while also restricting Tikhonova's intimate access to wealth and holdings beyond Russia's borders.
11:58U.S. Oshals have revealed that many of Putin's nantial desires and interests are entwined with the names of his family members, making them alluring targets in a sweeping eort to disrupt the intricate web of global nantial activities tied to the Russian elite.
12:12The roots of these sanctions can be traced back to the ongoing connict in Ukraine, which has seen Russia face widespread condemnation for its military aggression.
12:20The situation reached a boiling point with the horrid events in Bukha, where evidence emerged of civilian massacres allegedly carried out by Russian forces.
12:28These atrocities prompted a global outcry and a renewed commitment from Western nations to impose severe consequences on Russia.
12:35President Joe Biden in particular has been vocal about the need for accountability.
12:40He has repeatedly emphasized that Russia must pay a severe and immediate price for its actions in Ukraine.
12:45The decision to target Putin's daughters is a direct response to this call for accountability.
12:49It reacts a strategic shift in U.S. policy, moving beyond traditional diplomatic channels to apply personal pressure on Putin himself.
12:58The claims that Putin hides his vast wealth under his daughters' names add a seductive layer of mystery to the story.
13:04For years, quiet whispers and rumors have suggested his fortune could be worth billions.
13:08Yet much of it remains hidden, carefully cloaked behind a web of trusted allies and close family connections.
13:14By sanctioning Katerina and Maria, the Biden administration aims to disrupt this network and expose the nantial underpinnings of Putin's regime.
13:22Despite the wealth that Louisa, Putin's third daughter, appeared to have amassed, she was excluded from the sanction.
13:28A few years after the sanctioning, Putin's RST2 daughters resurfaced as speakers at St. Petersburg's Economic Forum.
13:34The daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin rarely make public appearances, but this time they took part in panels at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
13:43Maria Voronsova, the 39-year-old daughter of Vladimir Putin, presented herself as a genetic research scientist.
13:50Making her RST public appearance in years, she led a discussion on bioeconomics at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, SPIF.
13:57That same day, Katerina Tikhonova, Putin's 37-year-old daughter, introduced herself in the Guardian's report as both a technical manager and a rock-and-roll acrobatic dancer,
14:07speaking proudly about the defense industry's role in supporting Russia's technological independence.
14:12SPIF, widely regarded as one of the year's most significant events in economics and politics, has been compared to the annual Davos meetings in Switzerland.
14:20Russian media reported that this year's theme was establishing multipolarity, forming new growth centers, and Putin expected to meet with world leaders on the sidelines.
14:30The absence of Western delegations and strong participation from South American and Asian countries added a heightened political dimension to the forum.
14:37Various media outlets mentioned that Putin's daughters made an unexpected appearance at SPIF.
14:42The New York Post noted that although neither Katerina nor Maria spoke much about their professional experiences, their attendance was intended to bolster the image of their father at the forum.
14:53The Guardian observed that Putin's children and their allies were increasingly gaining access to business and government roles,
14:58indicating that their aging parents were working to ensure a continued transfer of power and inluence.
15:04Meanwhile, the New York Post reported that Ronald Marx, a former CIA oser, suggested Putin was now at an age where he was considering his legacy.
15:11Marx noted that both daughters were known to be intelligent, and if they could attract attention and represent their father, Putin would likely seize the opportunity.
15:20Let's take a closer look at the fortune that shaped Putin's empire.
15:24Vladimir Putin's wealth is a mystery that tempts the imagination, cloaked in allure and endless debate.
15:29Oshaly, as Russia's president, he earns a modest salary, yet his world whispers luxury, a life adorned with grand estates, gleaming yachts and treasures far beyond the reach of his declared income.
15:39This tantalizing disparity stirs curiosity.
15:42Where does the real power of his wealth lie?
15:44Some suspect a labyrinth of hidden riches, woven with ties to innuential allies and lucrative business networks within Russia.
15:51These connections could make him one of the world's wealthiest gurs, though the truth remains hidden, slipping like silk through grasping ungars.
15:58Speculation swirls like smoke, intensifying the mystery.
16:01His fortune, veiled and earthly protected, becomes not just a question of numbers, but a story of shadows, power and intrigue.
16:07Russian president Vladimir Putin Oshaly earns a salary of around $140,000 per year.
16:13However, his lifestyle suggests access to significant wealth far beyond this income.
16:17Among his notable assets is a massive 190,000-square-foot mansion by the Black Sea, nicknamed Putin's Country Cottage.
16:25This luxurious estate features frescoed ceilings, a marble swimming pool with Greek statues, and even bathrooms with Italian toilet brushes valued at $850 each.
16:34Running this mansion costs $2 million each year and requires a stay of 40 people.
16:38It has everything from a private theater and a helipad to its own vineyard.
16:42However, the luxury of the palace comes with controversy, as reports claim it was built using funds linked to corruption and favoritism.
16:49Beyond the Black Sea, Putin's residences include a luxurious dacha in Novo Ogariovo, just outside Moscow.
16:54This estate serves as one of his primary residences and is equipped with state-of-the-art security features, ensuring the president's safety and privacy.
17:02The dacha is a blend of traditional Russian architecture and modern luxury, owing a serene retreat from the bustling capital.
17:09Putin's taste for luxury extends well beyond his impressive residences, with his collection of high-end assets reaching extraordinary levels.
17:16At the heart of this collection is his EAT of aircraft, which rivals those of any world leader.
17:20The standout of this EET is an Ilyushin Il-96, a long-range jet outed with a lavish neoclassical interior.
17:27The plane is called the Flying Kremlin, worth $716 million and is equipped with the latest technology.
17:33The design features leather furnishings, rich walnut veneers and gold accents, showcased by touches of Russia's tricolor, creating a sophisticated and luxurious atmosphere.
17:42No matter the destination or agenda, President Putin and his onboard guests have access to a full suite of amenities.
17:49Onboard facilities include a private OCE, multiple meeting and conference rooms, a relaxation lounge, a guest area, a mini-gym, a large dining space, a bar, several showers and a medical unit equipped for various emergencies.
18:01For safety, the Il-96-300PU is outed with advanced defensive features to ensure the secure travel of the president and his guests, whether they are family members or government OSHALs.
18:12The aircraft is shielded by multiple protective layers against potential threats, including a radar-evading coating and an onboard anti-aircraft defense system, though many details about these safety measures remain classied.
18:23Additionally, visible external security measures ensure a high level of protection at all times.
18:28There are multiple copies of the Russian president's aircraft of choice, just like how global leaders have sets of identical cars.
18:34In case an international visit is required, at least two of the three extra government Il-96s will be prepared, helping obscure which specific airliner the president and his guests board.
18:43Furthermore, Russia Beyond explains that the additional jets follow as reserves dating back to a 1970s rule.
18:50The president's love for the high seas is evident in his collection of yachts.
18:53The most notable is the Olympia, valued between £27-40 million.
18:58This yacht was a gift from Roman Abramovich, with its interior designed by the renowned Mark Hampton Design House.
19:04The yacht has a helipad, a swimming pool, and luxurious cabins, tea for royalty.
19:08This vessel is often seen cruising the waters of the Black Sea, a clear proof of Putin's taste for the NER things in life.
19:15Vladimir Putin has recently added two more vessels to his yacht collection, bringing the total to ten.
19:20The dictator acquired a 68-metre vessel named Chaker.
19:23Priced at £28 million, the 54-metre Chaker seagull was a lavish experience with amenities such as a jacuzzi, gym, beach club, barbecue area, and a swimming pool.
19:33The yacht also comes equipped with jet skis, diving gear, and Shing equipment for added enjoyment.
19:38The crown.
19:39Jewel of Putin's yacht collection is the Scheherazade, valued at £500 million, with some insiders speculating its worth at £750 million.
19:47This six-deck marvel features swimming pools that can be converted into dance ores, a spa, a theatre, a gym, and not one but two helipads.
19:55The luxury extends to the smallest details, with nearly every inch of the yacht adorned in gold, including the toilet paper holders.
20:02Putin's wardrobe is another area where his wealth is on full display.
20:06His collection of watches is particularly noteworthy, featuring timepieces from prestigious brands like Patek Philippe and A. Langer and Soane.
20:13These watches, often crafted in white gold and encrusted with diamonds, are valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars each.
20:20Additionally, he travels by a unique 22-car ghost train.
20:23This train costs $74 million to build, and costs another $15.8 million annually to maintain.
20:29The train's features include a fully-equipped gym or sports health wagon, a skincare and massage parlour with anti-aging machines,
20:36a tiled and fully-equipped Turkish bath steam room, along with lush bedrooms and ornate dining cars.
20:42There is also a movie theatre, several cars LL'd with communication systems that allow Putin to remain connected to and informed about the outside world at all times,
20:51and an entire car housing a diesel power generator.
20:54The train is heavily armoured, the doors and windows throughout are bulletproof, and it is stocked with life-saving medical equipment and facilities.
21:01Forbes has been unable to verify Putin's ownership of assets worth $1 billion or more, keeping him of their billionaires list.
21:07Despite this, Nancy Bill Browder proclaimed before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee that Putin is the richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth of $200 billion.
21:16While Putin enjoys luxurious estates and yachts, millions of Russians are struggling to get by.
21:21They face low wages, rising prices, and limited access to basic services.
21:26This growing gap between the rich and everyone else is causing frustration and making people question a system that concentrates so much wealth at the top.
21:34Putin isn't the only one whose source of wealth has been making the rounds.
21:37His ex-wife Lyudmila also has a part to play.
21:40The former wife of Russian President Vladimir Putin helped create and now supports a foundation that owns a historic Moscow property, generating millions of dollars from tenants.
21:48The building was renovated with help from associates of Putin, and the rental income is paid to a private company owned by a person whose name is the same as the maiden name of Putin's former wife, Corporate Records Show.
22:00The foundation was created in 2002, and in September 2006, Rossi Skaya Gazeta described Lyudmila as a trustee of the organization.
22:09In an interview with the newspaper that year, she used the term we when discussing the foundation, and three sources currently familiar with the foundation's work said Lyudmila supports a literary prize and publishing arm that the foundation runs.
22:21The CDIC has OCEs in Volkonsky House, but most of the building is let out to tenants, including two big state banks.
22:27The tenants pay rent to a company called Meridian, which is 99% owned by a company called Intera Service.
22:34Corporate and property records reviewed by Reuters in early May showed.
22:38Intera Service, according to a state register of corporate entities, has been wholly owned since 2014 by a woman called Lyudmila Alexandrovna Shkrebnyova, which is the maiden name of Putin's former wife.
22:49Reuters was unable to end in documents conrooming that Shkrebnyova and Putin's ex-wife are the same person.
22:55But other connections besides the name point to the former RST lady, and the owner of Intera Service being the same person.
23:01A previous general director of Intera Service was Olga Alexandrovna Tsomaeva.
23:06Several Russian media reports refer to her as the sister of Putin's former wife.
23:10Tsomaeva could not be reached for comment.
23:12The Kremlin property department supervised the renovation work on the Volkonsky House in Moscow's Vozdvizhenko Street, according to rental documents reviewed by Reuters, even though the building no longer belonged to the state at the time.
23:23A source involved in the renovation reported that Lyudmila Putina, who was still the president's wife at the time, visited Volkonsky House to inspect the work.
23:32The source, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, noted that everyone knew the Kremlin property department was closely overseeing the process.
23:41The source added that whenever Mrs. Putin came for an inspection, Vozdvizhenko Street was immediately closed down.
23:46The Russian bank VTB, one of the current tenants in Volkonsky House, alone pays more than $2 million in annual rent, according to a tender document posted on a government website in 2015.
23:58Reuters was unable to establish the total income Meridian receives from renting out space in the Moscow property or what it pays to the CDIC Foundation.
24:05The company's accounts for 2015 show revenues of 225 million rubles, $3.89 million, but do not disclose where the money goes.
24:15Reuters sought comment from Meridian and the CDIC via letters, telephone calls and visits, but received no reply.
24:21The Kremlin press service did not respond to questions about the president's former wife.
24:25The arrangements appear to tee a pattern in Putin's Russia, whereby people close to the president Bene from contracts, loans, grants or assets from state enterprises or entities closely linked to the Kremlin.
24:36Reuters has previously reported how Putin's son-in-law, Kirill Shamalov, became a billionaire after marrying the daughter of the president and acquiring a large stake in a leading Russian gas and petrochemicals company.
24:47Reuters also reported that Shamalov acquired substantial property in Biarritz, France, from Putin's close associates.
24:53Putin's name has long been linked with luxury, a kind of golden touch that seems to transform those within his orbit into overnight billionaires.
25:01Yet, it's not the glittering fortunes of his allies that may deen his legacy, but the untapped potential of his daughters.
25:07Their rise to prominence could well script the next chapter of success for Russia, hinting at a future where innuence and innovation carry the day over mere wealth.
