Superyacht now marooned
A 500-million-pound superyacht owned by the ex Blues owner was also stranded after it became flooded. UK and EU restrictions on him. The situation is a stark contrast to the life of luxury and prestige he led as the manager of one of the most prestigious football teams in the World.
His exile remains a serious talking point among football fans, with many wondering if he will ever return to football, and what he will do once sanctions become relaxed, and he can find himself freed again from the controversy and scandal.
Abramovich is said to still be enjoying the fruits of his labor as a billionaire. The Russian, who made most of his money in the 90s through the oil business, can still travel freely to Russia, where he devotes a lot of time to politics. He also regularly dines out at some of the best Turkish restaurants.
It’s a long way from his former life as owner of Chelsea, from 2003-2022, where many Chelsea fans admired him for his investments in the club and keen interest he had in football.
Abramovich’s wealth is questioned by the UK government after Abramovich’s expulsion.
Theresa May ended his UK visit 18 months ago. Despite his long-expired visa and the fact that his mansion is no longer available, many still envy his lifestyle, even though the wealth he holds amounts to nearly 10 billion US dollars.
What money cannot buy – or get rid of, for that matter – is the looming reputation damage he has had to endure as a result of the sanctions. Then, after he left the country in 2022 and was questioned about his ethical and moral foundations, he quit his job at Chelsea. Many people wanted to know how he acquired his massive wealth.
Unfortunately, corruption is commonplace in football. The sport serves as a microcosm of how modern society works. It is not important what people did to gain power. They can be spoiled and enjoy the splendor of their power.
The corporate world of today has infused the sport with a competitive edge. It is here to stay.
You could say that Roman’s Exile proves no one’s above the law. However, this case, which was brought about by Russia’s invasion into Ukraine, forced the UK and Europe into action. The UK and Europe had no other choice. Many other oligarchs, conglomerates, and individuals who pollute sport as well as many industries today go unpunished for their illegal activities.
Abramovich’s career in the big money
Abramovich began selling plastic ducks at the age of 16. He then spotted the potential in the oil and gas sector, and made his move. Trading heavily in this industry, he quickly became one of Europe’s richest men.
In this year, he continued to make financial waves, after being the principal recipient of the 300 million pound sale from London-based steel giant Evraz. His keen eye for stock markets was also noted.
He continues to fight anti-semitism. The billionaire who has Israeli citizenship donated tens and millions of pounds in the past year to Jewish charities.
