Oleg Deripaska is an extraordinary personality, an influential politician and one of the richest people in Russia, born in the Gorky region, the provincial town of Dzerzhinsk, on January 2, 1968.

Childhood

Oleg’s great-grandfathers were Kuban Cossacks, both went through the Second World War and lived their whole lives on earth. Children and grandchildren were taught to work and respect their elders. Due to his mother’s constant employment, Oleg Deripaska spent his early childhood with his maternal grandparents in the warm Krasnodar region.

The fact is that just a year after Oleg was born, his father tragically passed away. Therefore, the mother had to work hard to provide the child with a normal childhood. But there was still always not enough money even for the most necessary things. Fortunately, his grandparents helped, with whom he spent most of his time.

In my youth

There he not only became stronger physically, but also learned to work early. From a young age he helped around the house and worked in the garden. And when he turned 11, his mother suggested that he work at a factory during the holidays. He got a job as a mechanic's assistant and that's how he received his first tiny salary.

When Oleg grew up, his mother decided to move from the village to the regional center - Ust-Labinsk. There he graduated from school, without much distinction, but with quite decent grades. Almost immediately he was drafted into the army, conscript service. Fate brought the future politician to Transbaikalia, from where two years later he returned matured and matured.

Conquest of the capital

It’s hard to say where the village boy got such ambitions, but he always wanted to become famous and earn good money. Realizing that in the Russian outback, where he comes from, the prospects are minimal, Deripaska decides to study in Moscow, where he goes immediately after his service, in 1988.

Realizing how difficult it will be for him to compete with capital applicants, Oleg has been diligently preparing for the entrance exams. Perseverance brings results, and he passes the competition with honor in one of the best universities countries - Moscow State University. Moreover, he chose the most complex physics department for himself.

Already in student years, which fell on a deep economic and political crisis associated with the collapse of the USSR, he became interested in economics. Realizing that without basic knowledge indispensable, after receiving his diploma, he continued his education at the Plekhanov Academy in this specialty. And I was not mistaken. It was business, and not physics, that became his real calling.

Business

He earned his first serious money at that time while still a second-year student. Together with friends he founded small company, which was engaged in the export of metal abroad. Everything went under the hammer then, and the difference in price was simply huge.

Therefore, within a couple of years, he had amassed his first capital, which he fully invested in acquiring shares in an aluminum smelter in Slavyanogorsk.

In 1994, after graduating from university, the young entrepreneur found himself one of the main shareholders of the plant. And at the general meeting a decision is made on his appointment to the post of general director of this huge enterprise. At the same time, on his initiative, the Siberian Aluminum group of enterprises was created, uniting the largest plants in this industry.

Just a few years later, in 1999, Oleg was elected to the post of vice president of the recently formed Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. He becomes not only a successful businessman, but also a fairly influential political figure. Moreover, a year later he becomes the head of the largest holding company Rusal.

Having received another economic education in London, he decides to transform the holding in a European way and founds the Basic Element company, which unites successful enterprises from almost all major industries. The “base element” includes:

• aluminum smelters;
• metallurgical plants;
• airport holding (Sochi, Anapa, Yeisk, etc.);
• automobile enterprise "GAZ";
• construction group "Glavmosstroy";
• insurance company - leader of the Russian market "Ingosstrakh"
• and many other smaller factories and factories. And in 2008, Norilsk Nickel also joined Basic Element, which brought the holding to one of the first places in the global industrial market.

Already in the early 2000s, the name of Oleg Deripaska regularly appears in Forbes ratings. Moreover, he quickly moved to a leading position. So in 2008 he became the richest Russian and took 6th place in the world ranking.

But due to the outbreak of the crisis, which, according to rumors, “ate” from 10 to 15 billion dollars, in 2009 Deripaska dropped to second place. As of today, his capital is $2.6 billion. This is only 275th place on the world stage.

Charity

The billionaire does a lot of charity work and enjoys it. Back in 1998, he became the founder of the private charitable foundation “Volnoye Delo”, which finances promising projects designed to improve the environment or quality of life of Russians.

His interests include science and culture, education, healthcare, animal welfare and conservation environment. Deripaska actively participates in projects organized by the UN. Special attention he devotes his time to supporting young talented scientists and entrepreneurs, knowing from his own experience how difficult it is to make one’s way in today’s world.

Under the leadership of Oleg Deripaska, modern shelters for homeless animals are opened, robotics competitions and early career guidance projects for children are organized. In Russia today he is one of the most influential but notorious politicians.

Scandals

Deripaska’s name began to be heavily circulated in the press after a sex scandal broke out in early 2018 involving an “oligarch hunter,” a certain . The girl announced that she intended to attack another oligarch, Navalny, who, in response to the unauthorized invasion of a group of half-naked beauties into his office, began to conduct his own investigation.

Navalny's detectives quickly found out Nastya's identity, but along the way they dug up a lot interesting information. Including her connection with Oleg Deripaska and ex-Deputy Prime Minister Prikhodko. And at the same time, facts of personal correspondence between Deripaska and the head of the election headquarters of the current American President Donald Trump were revealed.

Nastya only added fuel to the fire, saying in a video message to to the Russian President Putin, which can tell a lot of interesting things about the participation of influential Russian politicians in American elections. Since the address was made publicly on camera, the scandal gained international publicity. But the president himself has not yet responded to it in any way.

Personal life

Before the high-profile sex scandal in which Deripaska was involved, he was considered an exemplary family man. For a long time he was one of the most enviable Russian bachelors, whom no one managed to drag down the aisle. But in 2001, at a party at his close friend Roman Abramovich in London, he meets Polina Yumasheva, the daughter of Boris Yeltsin’s adviser and personal favorite.

With Polina Yumasheva

By the way, Valentin Yumashev himself went down the aisle with Yeltsin’s daughter Tatyana a year and a half later. Thus, Deripaska became a member of the presidential family. Marriage for a long time was considered successful, two children were born in it.

But in recent years Polina even wanted to leave her husband because she was tired of his constant “adventures.” However, Tatyana Yeltsina forbade her to officially divorce. Who knows whether the current sex scandal will be the last straw, after which the divorce process will begin.

Grandfather and grandmother had a small farm plot, where Oleg Deripaska began to work from the very moment he arrived. As he later said, it was his grandfather and grandmother who played in his life main role. They raised their grandson strictly, taught him to work plot of land and strict labor discipline.

Work from early childhood

In 1979, when the boy was 11 years old, his parents took him to Ust-Labinsk. At the same age, he got a job at the factory where his mother worked as an assistant electrician. Of course, he studied, but instead of hanging out in the yard with the boys and relaxing, he earned his own bread.

He was taught this way by his mother’s parents, with whom he was raised for the last four years. His grandfather taught him: if you want to eat, go earn money. He went through the entire Great Patriotic War and told his grandson about all the hardships and hunger of those times.

From the very early childhood Deripaska loved to read. His favorite writers are Mine Reed and Jack London. Later he fell in love with mathematics and technical literature.

This was a period when something had to be done to earn money for food and for further education. Oleg, together with his friends from the institute, decides to go into business. They open a “Military Investment and Trading Company” and have brokerage positions on stock exchanges.

The metal was bought for next to nothing in Russia and sold abroad at regular market prices. The guys kept the profit only for food and school, and the main proceeds went to purchase shares in an aluminum plant.
