The popular performer emphasized that he does not condemn the billionaire. “It’s his right, he lives this way. Maybe in the world he’s in, it’s considered cool. But think about 600 guests - how many of them do the bride and groom know? How many of them actually wish them happiness and good? An insincere desire for happiness is even worse if you didn’t want anything at all. I also got married once and I gathered only a few people, but I was sure that they were all happy for me. I don’t blame anyone, that’s how a person spends money ", our money, common money, which was not earned by him. He did not create these companies, did not drill wells, he came and became the owner. Alas, in our country it is considered legal for people to own other people's wealth," the Russian singer noted with regret.
