Rotenberg dynasty: who is who in the family of billionaires?

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. Arkady Rotenberg

66-year-old Arkady Rotenberg is the chairman of the board of directors of Stroygazmontazh LLC, general director of the Yavara-Neva judo sports club. 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.

Arkady Rotenberg

Rotenberg is now in 40th place on the list of the richest businessmen in Russia, according to Forbes. 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 bore her husband 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.

Quite recently, a frank interview with the oligarch’s ex-wife was published, in which she said that she treats her ex-husband well and “always puts him on a pedestal”:

He was for me a teacher, a sage, a father, a husband, a friend, a helper, everything, he was God in general for me. You know, even now I don’t have enough conversations with him, because I have now become independent and strong. Sometimes I miss those times when I wanted to pretend to be weak, forget about stilettos, and just disappear into a man.

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

In addition, Natalya is involved in event organization, design and her own charitable foundation.

But since the businessman does not talk about his personal life and does not go to social events, it is very difficult to find out anything about his family. 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 desk and found a lot of funny photos. By the way, I don’t understand people who talk badly about their exes.”

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.

Pavel Rotenberg

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.

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.

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 footballer 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.

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 her future husband seemed very arrogant to her and she did not 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 their common daughter Martina, Rotenberg supports his daughter and ex-wife.

Roman's second wife: Galina

In August of this year, Roman married 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.”
