Margarita Simonyan and her secret romance in plain sight  

How much does thief Simonyan earn annually and every second?

So, excluding payments for 2020, in the period from 2020 to 2020 Margarita Simonyan earned about 750 million rubles. It turns out that 250 “lemons” annually, excluding salary, which she tries not to talk about, but assures that she gives it to charity. This year she went out of business, and for the first 2.5 months she earned the same amount as before in a year, but the payment has not yet arrived, so we are not counting them.

Margarita Simonyan's total fortune amounts to billions of rubles. It just so happens that in our country such money is owned by thieves or dreamers.

Childhood and youth

Margarita was born in Krasnodar on April 6, 1980. Her family lived very poorly - her father repaired refrigerators, and her mother sold flowers at the market. Margarita’s desire to grow up as quickly as possible and start earning a decent living grew every day. Their old apartment did not have basic living conditions - water, gas, and even rats running around.

Childhood and youth

Rita learned to read in kindergarten, so the girl was often seated in the center of the circle and she read fairy tales to other children. At school, Margarita also stood out among the students; she was good at English, thanks to which the girl went to America in the 9th grade. She studied there for 3 years, and still remembers with warmth the family in which she lived.

The fact that Margarita graduated from school with a gold medal surprised no one. Admission to Kuban University was easy; the girl chose the Faculty of Journalism. At the same time, Simonyan studied theater art, under the guidance of Vladimir Pozner himself.

Path to capital

Margo Simonyan's career began back in 2000. Then she worked as a war correspondent and covered the conflict in Chechnya. Presumably, at the beginning of her career she literally worked for an idea, but already in September 2000 she was awarded a presidential scholarship.

In 2005, the Russia Today channel was founded, and Margarita Simonyan immediately took the position of editor-in-chief. In 2010, she hosted the TV show “What’s Going On?” Even then, Margarita Simonyan received far from positive reviews.

Journalism and career

In 1999, Simonyan began working as a correspondent for the Krasnodar television and radio channel. She managed to get this job thanks to a collection of poems of her own composition, which Margarita published a year earlier. The TV channel decided to film a story about a talented girl. While communicating with the film crew, Simonyan mentioned that she wanted to work as a journalist, and she was offered an internship at the TV channel. The choice of her first job determined Margarita’s future professional biography.

At the age of 19, the girl went to film a story in Chechnya. Her miniature figure (her height was 160 cm) did not prevent her from showing masculinity and strength of character. Margarita told her parents that she was going to the combat zone only upon her return, 10 days later. A series of reports in one of the hot spots in the world brought Margarita Simonyan fame and a number of journalistic awards: “For Professional Courage”, first prize in the All-Russian Competition of Regional Television and Radio Companies and the Russian Order of Friendship.

Journalist Margarita Simonyan

In 2000, Simonyan became the editor-in-chief of the Krasnodar TV channel, and a year later she became a correspondent for the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company in Rostov-on-Don. She continued her career as a war journalist, visiting Abkhazia, covering the clash between militants and the state army in the Kodori Gorge.

Margarita Simonyan in her youth

In 2002, Margarita Simonyan was invited to Moscow as a correspondent for the Vesti television program. The journalist accompanied Russian President Vladimir Putin, being among the presidential pool of journalists. In September 2004, she traveled to Beslan to cover the school hostage crisis. The tragedy influenced Margarita’s worldview and views; in an interview, she does not advise young journalists to start a career as war correspondents.

In 2005, the Russia Today television channel was created, which broadcast in English and was designed to reflect Russia’s position on international events. Margarita Simonyan was appointed editor-in-chief of the Russia Today TV channel.

The founders of RIA Novosti argued for the appointment of such a young person to such a position with the position that the project should have been led by a person who had not seen Soviet news and had his own ideas about how Russian news should be shown to foreign viewers. Later, Margarita also began to oversee the Arabic and Spanish versions of the TV channel.

In 2011, the girl became a TV presenter of the news project “What’s Going On?” on the REN-TV channel. During the program, she discussed the most significant events of the week, which for some reason were not adequately covered on federal channels. Margarita talked with direct participants in the events and spectators.

In 2013, Simonyan became the TV presenter of the political show “Iron Ladies” on the NTV channel. Together with her colleague Tina Kandelaki, the journalist asked not always convenient but relevant questions to famous politicians and businessmen live. That same year, the channel's management decided to close the show.

At the end of 2013, Margarita Simonyan was appointed to the position of editor-in-chief of the international news agency Rossiya Segodnya.

Margarita Simonyan and Tina Kandelaki

From early childhood, Margarita dreamed of becoming a writer and doing print journalism. At the age of 18, she published a collection of her own poems. In 2010 she published the book “To Moscow”. Due to her active journalistic and editorial activities, writing the book took about 10 years. This novel tells about the generation of the 90s and difficult destinies, unfulfilled dreams. In 2011, thanks to the novel, Simonyan won the award for the best book by a journalist.

Writer Margarita Simonyan

In 2012, Margarita published an excerpt from her new story “Train” on the pages of the Russian Pioneer magazine. The girl also writes culinary articles for this magazine.

How did Margarita make her fortune?

Alexei Navalny released a video about the thief Simonyan and her husband on his YouTube channel. He did a tremendous job with his employees. The video immediately sparked heated discussions on forums. The family of propagandists is well-positioned at the trough, and they are literally milking the budget. In addition, Alexey openly stated on Twitter that she is Margarita Simonyan, a thief and the author of mediocre books.

In 2020, there was an article on the Internet with the title: “Simonyan is a thief,” but the page is already unreadable. If this is a lie, then why delete it?

Journalism and career

At the age of 19, Margarita began her professional career as a correspondent for the Krasnodar TV and Radio Channel. And perhaps this became thanks to a collection of poems, her own composition, which the girl had managed to publish by that time.

At that time, there were big changes in the biography of Margarita Simonyan; she went to Chechnya when the fighting was taking place there.

The parents found out about this only after their daughter returned; for a series of reports, the girl received her first awards:

• “For professional courage”;
• First prize at the All-Russian competition of regional television and radio companies;
• Russian Order of Friendship.

A year later, she becomes the channel’s editor-in-chief and continues to report from the country’s hot spots.

When the English-language channel Russia Today was opened, Margarita became its editor-in-chief. When choosing her candidacy, the following arguments were taken into account:

• the leader should not have grown up on Soviet news;
• fluent knowledge of English;
• a person must have an idea of ​​how to convey Russian news to foreign viewers;
• presence of understanding of foreign mentality.

The woman’s further advancement up the career ladder was even more rapid:

• 2011 – host of the program “What’s Going On?”;
• 2013 – hosts the political show “Iron Ladies”;
• 2012 – one of the hundred most influential women in Russia;
• 2013 – holds the post of editor-in-chief of the international agency “Russia Today”;
• 2014 – was awarded the national award “Media Manager of Russia”.

In addition, Margarita made her long-time dream come true; she published her novel “To Moscow,” which took her 10 years to write. The book was very popular not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries.

Comparison of income of Simonyan and other journalists

It would be dishonest to compare the income of the thief Margarita Simonyan with ordinary journalists who live on one salary. Therefore, let's compare with other famous heads that we see on TV. It is curious that all of them are pro-government opportunists; the opposition has no place in this top income.

Income of other family members

Margarita Simonyan's husband, Tigran Keosayan, is engaged in directing activities and, as we have already found out, in money laundering through advertising agencies. Margarita constantly focuses on his large income in interviews. His main activity brings him an annual income of about 70 million rubles. Together with other projects, he earns at least 300 lemons.
