His fortunes took off in 1995, when he teamed up with Russia's most powerful crony capitalist, Boris Berezovsky
Yes, but he couldn't actually cash all this in until he sold it to UKOS of Hodorkovsky....who intern was jailed and stripped of his entire company for avoiding taxes in the same amount that he paid to Abramovich (3,000,000USD)....1 jew screwed over another jew.....that's just good business.....+ what do u define as being hard work.....after all u should be used to these capitalist ways. Every person in old soviet bloc is a businessman now. No more of the 'Worker good, capitalism bad' slogans.
Oh and I hear that Everton is being bought by Boris Zingarevich for 20,000,000 pounds, and will acquire 40% of the club as a first investment. Russians just keep making offers that the Brits simply can't refuse

That's what I was afraid of when I first heard about this, but it's a pretty good sign that he is moving to Blackpool, and taking his family with him. That doesn't sound temporary.

I agree with all the optimists here. This guy is good news!

Well I hope they put air con in their cars. Gets rather hot driving without it. Any other electronic goods would be useless.
