Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich (Russian: Роман Аркадьевич Абрамович, pronounced[rɐˈmanɐrˈkadʲjɪvʲɪtɕɐbrɐˈmovʲɪtɕ]; born 24 October 1966)[1] is a Russian oligarch and politician. He is the former owner of Chelsea, a Premier League football club in London, England, and is the primary owner of the private investment company Millhouse.[2] He has Russian, Israeli and Portuguese citizenship.[3][4]
He was formerly Governor of Chukotka Autonomous Okrug from 2000 to 2008. According to Forbes, Abramovich's net worth was US$14.5 billion in 2021.[5] making him the second-richest person in Israel,[6][7] Since then, his wealth decreased to $6.9 billion (in 2022), and recovered up to $9.2 billion in 2023.[8] Abramovich enriched himself in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, obtaining Russian state-owned assets at prices far below market value in Russia's controversial loans-for-shares privatisation program. Abramovich is considered to have a good relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin,[9] an allegation Abramovich has denied.[10]
