Wives of the richest Russian businessmen and officials (29 photos). Women without faces: the richest wives of Russian officials and deputies, about whom almost nothing is known The richest wives of officials and deputies
The publication of income declarations of government members, employees of the Presidential Administration, senators and deputies for 2016 made it possible to calculate how much the richest wives of Russian officials earn. As it turned out, many of the "second halves" are able to give odds to their husbands and are actually breadwinners in the family.
The first place among the richest wives of Russian officials went to the wife of a State Duma deputy from the Communist Party Alexander Nekrasov. Elena Nekrasova earned about 646 million rubles last year and overtook the Minister for North Caucasus Lev Kuznetsov, who topped the list of the richest officials in 2016 (582 million rubles). The main source of income for Elena Nekrasova is the construction business. She owns several enterprises that are part of the Leader Group holding, which is one of the largest Russian developers. It is worth noting that Leader Group was founded by her husband, who later took up lawmaking. By the way, last year Alexander Nekrasov's income amounted to less than 5 million rubles, which is almost 130 times less than the income of his "second half".
In third place is the wife of a State Duma deputy from United Russia Sergei Petrov, the founder of the SVP Grou holding. This company is engaged in buying up plots and farmland in the Leningrad region and reselling them to developers for development. According to the results of last year, the wife of Sergei Petrov earned about 220 million rubles against 48 million, for which the deputy himself became richer. By the way, such harmony in the incomes of this family can be traced for a long time. For example, in 2012, Sergei Petrov received an income of 22 million rubles - 5.5 times less than his wife.
Next comes the wife of Vladimir Sinyagovsky, a member of the State Duma Committee on Transport and Construction. It boasts approximately 188 million rubles in income. According to unofficial information, her earnings are formed from income from the operation of several land plots, the total area of which exceeds 2.5 million square meters. Also at its disposal is about a dozen apartments, non-residential premises with total area about 400 square meters and several storage facilities for agricultural products. Vladimir Sinyagovsky himself earned 3.6 million rubles in 2016.
The top five is closed by the wife of another State Duma deputy, Oleg Grishchenko (182 million rubles). Elena Grishchenko also receives her income from the use of land plots with a total area of more than 20 thousand square meters, several residential buildings and buildings for household purposes. Last year's income of Oleg Grishchenko himself amounted to only 2.6 million rubles.
Almost all the ladies who entered the top 10 richest wives of Russian officials are non-public people. Their names rarely appear in the news and in the media. The only exception is Tatyana Navka, wife of the deputy head of the administration and presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. The famous Russian figure skater, repeated champion of Russia, Europe and the world earned 10 times more than her husband last year - 120.8 million rubles. She owns four apartments, two land and two residential buildings. However, according to experts, Tatyana Navka's income items consist of her fees from participating in various show programs, filming documentaries, as well as fees for working on television as a commentator.
It is worth noting that 16 of the 20 richest wives of statesmen receive more income than their spouses, and are actually the breadwinners of the family. This is worth considering for those officials who, in their income declarations in the column “ Family status» put a dash. In the current State Duma, 114 deputies did this, or about 25% of all legislators in the lower house of parliament. In particular, speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky and 5 out of 8 vice-speakers are not married. The status of bachelors is also possessed by 7 out of 26 heads of committees and commissions. Perhaps now, looking at the wives of officials, whose incomes significantly exceed the earnings of high-ranking spouses, bachelor officials will think about the benefits of marriage.
Seriously, according to experts, the main problem with such ratings, in which the highest ranks of the state lag behind their wives in terms of income, is the lack of information about the sources of income. According to Sergei Zhavoronkov, a senior researcher at the Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy, “officials have parents, children and other relatives. They also boast of earning millions. However, it is not clear how they become owners of the business, where they get their money from. In fact, it turns out that income declarations of officials and their families are not the most successful attempt to build an open and transparent history of their financial fortunes. An attempt to follow foreign standards and analogues, although in reality no one in our country is really going to disclose information. This is reminiscent of the saying of the French writer and traveler Marquis de Custine: Russia is a country of facades. The Russians have only the name of everything, but nothing in reality.
Not so long ago, Russian deputies and officials reported on their income for 2016. About some of the most impressive earnings. There are deputies who managed to earn hundreds of times more than the president. However, according to the law, the declarations also include data on the incomes of not only the officials and deputies themselves, but also their wives (or husbands) and children. And here, too, there is something to see. We offer you a rating of the wealthiest wives of deputies, who, according to official documents, earn much more than their husbands. However, the press knows almost nothing about them, even what these super-wealthy women look like, whose incomes are in the millions.

But the spouses of the first vice-premier of the government of the Russian Federation Igor Shuvalov (with an income of 61.2 million rubles) and the deputy chairman of the government of the Russian Federation Arkady Dvorkovich (with an income of 60.5 million rubles) are not even included in the top ten now.

For the first time, the wives of State Duma deputies Rakhim Azimov and Alexei Veller were included in the rating.

The wife of Vladimir Bochkov dropped out of the list (in 2017, her income decreased by almost four times), the wife of Yuri Volkov (almost six times) and Anton Zharkov (almost three times).
The current list also includes representatives who from year to year fall into the ranking of the richest wives. For example, the wife of State Duma deputy Andrei Chernyshev was already on our list in 2017, then she took ninth place, but now she has dropped four positions lower: if in 2016 she earned 123.5 million rubles, then in 2017 her income was 77.9 million rubles.
The total income of the wives included in the list amounted to almost 6 billion rubles. The vast majority are the wives of State Duma deputies from the United Russia party. The rating also includes the spouses of ministers and only one wife of an employee of the Presidential Administration, Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov - figure skater Tatyana Navka, who earned almost 14 times more than Peskov himself in a year.
When preparing the rating, we used data from the published declarations of employees of the Presidential Administration, members of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council and deputies of the State Duma for 2017. Our list includes the spouses of officials whose annual income exceeded 50 million rubles. When compiling the rating, only the personal incomes of women were taken into account, without taking into account the earnings of their husbands and children.
