The future billionaire was orphaned early, lived with his uncles, and after school went to military service. Returning from the army, he immediately married Olga Lysova, and soon went into business. In 1988, he acquired the Uyut cooperative, whose main activity was based on the production and sale of toys. As they say, sometimes Roman Arkadyevich had to stand behind the counter himself.

In the early 90s, Abramovich embarked on a path that would eventually make him one of the world's most famous billionaires. He was engaged in oil trading activities, became the founder and co-founder of several companies that would later own shares in Sibneft.

In the middle of the decade, Abramovich met Boris Berezovsky. Since then, they have become partners in business and friends in life for many years. Roman Arkadyevich was a member of the management structures of Noyabrskneftegaz, and was also a member of the board of directors of Sibneft. During this period, Abramovich's fortune began to approach an impressive seven-figure figure.

In 1999, the businessman expanded his scope of activity and became a State Duma deputy from the Chukotka region, and a year later he was appointed its governor. During his managerial activities, Roman Arkadyevich, together with another Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, founded.

By 2003, when the landmark purchase of the Chelsea football club took place, Abramovich had more than $15,000,000,000 in his assets, and the businessman earned almost as much as he earns today.

In March of this year, it became known about the sale of 20% of the shares of Channel One, which Roman Arkadyevich had owned since 2001. Currently, Abramovich’s fortune is represented by the investment company Millhouse Capital and part of the shares (30.52%) of the metallurgical and mining company Evraz Group.

Roman Arkadyevich is not known for asceticism: he willingly buys houses, cars, yachts. Considering Abramovich's net worth as of 2020 and his daily earnings, the businessman can afford to buy one luxury apartment per day.

Childhood and youth of Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich

The future oligarch Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich was born into a Jewish family on October 24, 1966 in Saratov. The famous businessman's parents were simple workers. Abramovich's mother, Irina Vasilievna Mikhailova, died when her son was only one year old. The oligarch's father, Arkady (Aron) Nakhimovich Abramovich, worked in Komi in the Economic Council. A man died in a construction accident. Arkady worked around the clock and tried to provide his family with everything they needed. As a result, little Roma was left an orphan.

In young age

After the death of his parents, Abramovich was raised by his uncle, Leiba Abramovich. The man lived in Ukhta, so his nephew soon moved there too. The future Russian billionaire spent his entire childhood there. Let us note that Leiba worked as the head of the Pechorles labor supply department at KomilesURS.

Until the second grade, Roma Abramovich studied at secondary school No. 2 in the city of Ukhta.

In 1974, he had to move to Moscow to live with another uncle, Abram Abramovich. This happened in 1974. The orphan needed to change educational institution. He began his studies at secondary school No. 232. There Roman Abramovich received his secondary education. In 1983, the guy graduated from school No. 232.

The future Russian oligarch was never interested in studying. He didn’t like studying, so Roman regularly received bad marks in all school subjects. After graduating from school, Abramovich went to serve in the army, as he categorically did not want to continue studying. For two years he served as an air defense private.

Two years later, Roman Abramovich returned to his homeland. Relatives insisted that the guy receive a higher education. He realized everything and agreed, since it was really necessary for his future career. Roman chose his specialty based on his interests. Soon he entered the Ukhta Industrial Institute at the Faculty of Forestry.

Abramovich and the Chukchi

A few months after the start of the educational process, Roman Abramovich realized that his student years did not inspire admiration in him. As a result, the future billionaire withdrew his documents from the university.

The only thing Abramovich noted during his studies was his ability in business and management. This is what pushed him to further his career. From 1984 to 1986, the oligarch served in military service as a private in an air defense training center. The service took place in the Kharkov region.
