At just 21 years old, the Russian ballerina Varvara Skoch already has a fortune of 2.5 billion dollars and is, according to Forbes Russia, the youngest billionaire in the country.
But her fortune is something to talk about, because she is closely linked to Vladimir Putin: her father is a well-known friend of the Russian president and several countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States and Ukraine, seized his assets and prohibited entry due to his relations with high-ranking Kremlin charges.
Renowned in Russia for her dancing skills, blonde Varvara owes her fortune in part to her father, Andrei Skoch, Russian mining and materials magnate who is estimated to have $7.9 billion in his bank account.
Skoch, who is also a staunch supporter of Putin’s deputy, represents the Belgorod region, on the border with Ukraine.
Today, the tycoon’s daughter is heavily involved in the affairs of the family business USM Holding, a company founded by her father’s business partner, who allegedly helped Putin during the invasion of Ukraine.
