Ex-Wife of Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich “Living in Fear” that Her $650M Fortune May Disappear

Edited by: TJVNews.com

It would seem that the lives of Russian oligarchs and their families are under new and intense scrutiny since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. Now that hefty sanctions have been imposed on them by the United States and other countries, they are becoming really worried about the future of their mega-fortunes.

Recently, the NY Post reported that the ex-wife of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich is hiding out in her London mansion and is “worried that her $650 million fortune could be under threat because of sanctions,” according to a former security guard.

Abramovich is one of Russia’s highest-profile oligarchs and has been highlighted in the past for links to President Vladimir Putin, who is being ostracized globally for launching the unprovoked attack on neighboring Ukraine.

As owner of the Chelsea football club in the United Kingdom, it was reported in early March that Abramovich faced calls to completely give up control of the Premier League club following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Abramovich, a former Russian provincial governor, is now a dual Israeli citizen with a net worth estimated at more than $13 billion.

“During my nearly 20-year ownership of Chelsea FC,” Abramovich said, “I have always viewed my role as a custodian of the club, whose job it is ensuring that we are as successful as we can be today, as well as build for the future, while also playing a positive role in our communities.”

Abramovich’s ex-wife, Irina, 55, is currently “living in fear” that her profligate lifestyle may disappear before her very eyes, according to the former security guard who also is an ex-soldier. He spoke to “The Sun” newspaper of the United Kingdom and offered them his comments, according to the Post report.

The Post also reported that Irina Abramovich traveled the world with her multi-billionaire husband for many years as they indulged their posh lifestyle. A former flight attendant, Irina had five children with Abramovich before they divorced in 2007, according to the Post report.

The United Kingdom has frozen Abramovich’s assets and his $1.5 billion superyacht, Eclipse, was recently seen in the Mediterranean, as was reported by the Post.

The Sun newspaper of the UK reported that Irina has not come under official pressure over her ex’s money as of yet.

The Post reported that the former security guard told the Sun, “There’s wealth and riches – and then there’s Roman Abramovich-inspired money. It sparked opulence off the scale.”

Irina “was always Harrods’ No 1 customer. She got designer clothes by the ton. She’s the Imelda Marcos of London, ‘ the security guard told The Sun.

The Post reported that the former guard added, “Irina is usually out on the town every night. Now she doesn’t know where to turn. She fears her UK days are over for good.”
