Which stars lived or lives on the money of rich lovers?
“Bogomolov presented the series “Kept Women”!” - the social crowd and ordinary spectators are noisy. Express Newspaper has already talked about the project: how the director at the premiere strenuously, but to no avail, hid his tenderness towards Sobchak, who arrived at the private screening and in what, next to whom Daria Moroz shone, etc. and so on. It’s easy to guess what the erotic thriller is about from the title - about the secrets of bohemian metropolitan life, where you can sell yourself for money and lose everything because of it.
But let’s leave the screen story behind – real life is no less interesting. Which celebrity knows first-hand what it’s like to be a kept woman?
Sati Casanova
“I have close people who help me. Although I didn’t have many serious relationships with men - two, three times,” Sati was modest about seven years ago. And she stubbornly hid her personal life from strangers - after all, she had something to hide. Only in a conversation with Lera Kudryavtseva did the ex-manufacturer admit: yes, she was the mistress of the Kazakh oligarch Timur Kulibayev (she did not name Sati, but Express Gazeta revealed it back in 2012).

Who supports Sati Casanova
The businessman gave the singer diamonds, presented him with a car, bought an apartment in the center of Moscow - everything as young Sati dreamed, who at the dawn of her career was looking for an exceptionally wealthy companion. True, “that same one” turned out to be not only married, but also extremely flighty: they rumored that girls were flown to his parties. “Often men, having money and power, assert themselves in this way, but this does not detract from my love for him and gratitude,” Casanova recalled. And she added: she loved Timur so much that she was ready to become his younger wife. She didn’t have time: the socialite Goga Ashkenazi crossed the artist’s path, becoming Kulibayev’s new passion and giving birth to his child.
Timur Kulibayev and his marriage to Dinara Nazarbayeva
It is unlikely that Kulibayev and President Nazarbayev’s daughter Dinara are not happy in their marriage. Ultimately, going on the side will sometimes strengthen the relationship and bring some variety to sexual family life. Another point is that Kulibayev can be called the unhappiest in this marriage, who may simultaneously feel shame in front of Dinara (and her dad) and at the same time shame for himself, that he is still sometimes forced to “be leftist”...
At the same time, Kulibayev is believed to owe his entire fortune to his marriage to Dinara. Now Timur Askarovich Kulibayev is a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist and social activist, and some 25 years ago Kulibayev was an employee of the State Planning Committee of the Kazakh USSR. It is interesting that the date of the wedding of Kulibayev and Nazarbayev’s middle daughter is not easy to find in open sources.
Timur and Dinara Kulibaevs
Meanwhile, it can be assumed that already in the early nineties Kulibayev and Nazarbayeva were together - in 1992-1995 Kulibayev headed the Altyn-Alma (then transformed into the Almex holding), which is engaged in financial and investment activities and in particular owns a controlling stake a block of shares in Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan (a private bank).
Also in 1995, Kulibayev became interested in the Almaty Trade and Financial Bank. Kulibayev's managers were Grigory Marchenko, Alexander Pavlov, Anvar Saidenov, Kairat Satylganov . All of these top managers in different years turned out to be one way or another close to the President of Kazakhstan Nazarbayev.
Around the mid-nineties, it became clear that Kulibayev was almost Nazarbayev’s favorite son-in-law - it was he who began to be trained to control cash flows in the oil and gas industry of the republic.
In 1997, Nursultan Nazarbayev established Kazakhoil , which included all state-owned enterprises in the oil and gas industry. From that time on, Timur Kulibayev was appointed vice president for economics and finance at Kazakhoil. In fact, Nazarbayev’s son-in-law became the main “helmsman” at the enterprise, the wealth of which belongs to the people of Kazakhstan.
In 1999, Kulibayev was put in charge of KazTransOil, which was managing the network of trunk pipelines.
A few years later, KazMunayGas appeared, which consolidated Kazakhoil and (the latter also included KazTransOil). Kulibayev took the position of first deputy vice president at KazMunayGas. Appointing a son-in-law as a manager would be too revealing and an arrogant decision, so they decided to disguise the influence of the Nazarbayev family on KazMunayGas with such an appointment.
Already in the mid-nineties, Nazarbayev’s beloved son-in-law became one of the richest people in Kazakhstan - the president’s grandchildren could be provided for until the end of their days.
At the same time, Kulibayev himself, at the beginning of the 2000s, thought that he had caught God by the beard and went on a party. It is alleged that it was during the period of work at KazMunayGas that he developed connections with Goga Ashkenazi .
Those. Having spent just over ten years as Nazarbayev's son-in-law and becoming one of the richest people in Kazakhstan, Timur Kulibayev quickly became fed up and began looking for a glamorous life with socialites.
True, there were no consequences from the influential father-in-law - festivities, even with offspring, are viewed tolerantly in Kazakhstan. Moreover, the person is not just a relative, but also aware of all the financial schemes of the main cash desk of the Nazarbayev family.
Lena Tretyakova
“How I was a kept woman,” the ex-soloist of the Ranetki group wrote a post with this title on social networks. Tretyakova chose to keep silent about the details, but - to give credit where credit is due - she called a spade a spade. For several months, Lena dated a wealthy man, but she couldn’t stand the constant insults and pressure and put an end to the relationship. For which I listened to reproaches from loved ones for a long time: “I missed such a man, I wish I could live in chocolate, love will come later.”⠀
Dana Borisova
The ex-host of the “Army Store” and once the object of adoration of the male half of the audience will not get out of the scandals: illegal drugs, lack of money, courts, problems with her daughter - Dana brings all this to the public. The blonde does not hide her dubious past, when she dated men and received money from them. “But she didn’t steal or kill,” Borisova shrugged in the studio of the “The Stars Aligned” project. By the way, in the same show Natalya Sturm also opened up. She has similar unselfish relationships behind her, but the performer did not accept money from her lovers - only barter.
Promising Kulibayev
Is it any surprise that since the mid-2000s, Kulibayev’s career has gone up again, although, it would seem, the heights are even higher?
In April 2006, he was again appointed as a deputy (always and everywhere Kulibayev was appointed as a deputy, so as not to reflect and irritate him too much) at JSC “Kazakhstan Holding for State Asset Management “Samruk” - a kind of analogue of the wealth fund of Kazakhstan. In fact, it was a huge piggy bank where budget money was accumulated, and Kulibayev made decisions about where to spend it.
Thanks to his position at KazMunayGas, Kulibayev became one of the key top leaders of the Kazakh economy and actively moved along the political line in international oil organizations.
At the same time, being a confidant of the president, he was also appointed to the boards of directors of subsidiaries of the National Welfare Fund - to the same Kazatomprom, Samruk-Energo, etc.
Interestingly, in 2011 he was elected one of the independent directors of Gazprom. Nazarbayev's lobbying efforts have had an impact in the post-Soviet space.
As you might guess, over the years of his activities in the interests of the “Nazarbayev clan,” Kulibayev was awarded numerous state awards.
From the moment Kulibayev entered the Nazarbayev clan, he managed to integrate his relatives into the system of government administration of the state. Kulibayev's brother Talgat Askarovich is a police major general and head of the Almaty Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan. They have three children with Nazarbayev’s daughter – son Altai (born 90), daughter Denise (born 2004) and Alicia (born 2010). Although, we note once again that the wedding date of Dinara Nursultanovna and Timur Kulibayev is not easy to find, but given that they had a son in 1990, we can conclude that the “talented state manager” owes his entire career to his marriage.
In Russia there are also such examples - just remember Oleg Deripaska, who successfully married Polina Yumasheva (daughter of Yeltsin’s son-in-law) and things went very well for him for many years.
Currently, Timur Kulibayev is considered one of the richest people in Kazakhstan. Officially, he is called the third richest businessman, but in reality, according to a number of sources, Kulibayev may be one of the richest people in the world - do not forget that since the nineties he has held a number of positions that could bring in corruption rent, and which is not taken into account in any way current calculations of Kulibayev’s official income. Kulibayev's capital is estimated at approximately 2-3 billion dollars.
After 20 years, it turned out that the enterprises that Kulibayev managed or supervised suddenly became his property. For example, now its main public asset is the Almex Holding Group, which includes the previously mentioned People's Savings Bank of Kazakhstan. Kulibayev’s sphere of interests includes numerous infrastructure enterprises, the Akbakai Mining and Processing Plant and many other companies.
At the same time, Kulibayev is actively promoting his son, Nursultan Nazarbayev’s grandson Altai , who will turn thirty in a couple of years, into the business.
The whole family is assembled
Like many other rich men from Kazakhstan, Kulibayev is considered a connoisseur of ladies of all types and races. Escorts for the elite of Kazakhstan have become an independent line of business for successful businessmen in Kazakhstan, and Kulibayev and several of his friends, about whom we also wrote, are regular clients of such services.
It is indicated that Kulibayev is very fond of famous girls, for example, among Russian pop stars, Sati Casanova can boast of gifts from Kulibayev, to whom he gave a penthouse in Moscow and a Bentley.
At the same time, Kulibayev himself, through Goga Ashkenazi and his other relatives and friends, is trying to penetrate the upper strata of Great Britain. Earlier there was information that Goga Ashkenazi could become a conductor of Kulibayev’s interests in London.
Goga Ashkenazi is an interesting woman. They call her a famous London courtesan, who was the wife of an American millionaire and dated an English prince. But she decided to give birth to a child from Kulibayev - apparently the resources of Nazarbayev’s son-in-law are incomparably more powerful than the resources of the British royal family or American industry.
It is unlikely that Goga was attracted by any special qualities of Kulibayev other than the main one - money. And here it’s worth thinking carefully about where Kulibayev got such wealth from that he managed to get Goga’s body, which is most likely valued at millions of dollars.
Olesya Malibu
The reality star and tattoo model, as Olesya calls herself, dreamed of becoming a copy of Pamela Anderson since school. Inspired by the star of the series “Baywatch,” the young lady took a pseudonym and began to reshape her appearance - she remodeled her nose and repeatedly enlarged her breasts. Where does the money for tuning come from? From wealthy suitors who are willing to pay for the “use” of all the delights of Malibu.
“It’s better to find a rich man who can support you. I always do this because it takes a long time to earn money on my own,” says Olesya.
Last year, for the sake of outrageousness, the girl allegedly began dating Kirill Tereshin, known as “Bazooka Hands.” The young people were loudly talking about an imminent wedding, but the synthol jock, who was in love with money, was not attracted to the girl: “Bazooka, my dear, I <...> want you to prove yourself as a real man. And for this, give me earrings with diamonds for my beautiful ears and earn me money for tattoos,” Malibu demanded.

In August 2013, the Canadian Turquoise Hill Resources (formerly Ivanhoe Mines) sold a 50% stake in Altynalmas Gold to Timur Kulibayev’s company Sumeru Gold BV, registered in the Netherlands, for $235 million. Thus, the Kyzyl Gold project, which includes the Bakyrchik gold deposit ( the second largest in Kazakhstan, with a high gold content in the ore, second in reserves only to Vasilkovsky-Altyntau), became the full property of Sumeru Gold.
Later, Kommersant reported that the Russian Polymetal, which is developing the Varvarinskoye gold deposit in Kazakhstan, is going to buy this project for $500 million, of which $200 million will be paid in Polymetal shares (about 5% of the market capitalization). Neither Polymetal nor Kulibayev would comment on the deal to Forbes Kazakhstan, but the billionaire's investment bank Halyk Finance believes the acquisition price implies an EV/Reserves multiple of 86.8x and is broadly in line with the price paid by Sumeru Gold BV.
