Despite Roman Abramovich’s two divorces, his interests for Chelsea FC have not been affected. The Russian oligarch owns an investment company as well as the Premier League football club. He made his initial fortune in the oil industry and has interests in the steel and nickel industries.

Known for his huge expenses, Abramovich‘s divorces have cost him millions, but he is no stranger to losing large sums of money.

When did Roman Abramovich acquire Chelsea FC?

The Russian billionaire bought the football club in 2003 from Ken Bates for $ 233 million. The team is estimated to be worth around $ 2.6 billion in 2019, reports Business intern. As soon as Abramovich acquired the club, he embarked on an ambitious plan to compete with super clubs Manchester United and Arsenal.

It meant a complete overhaul and an unprecedented spending spree – everything Abramovich was happy to comply with. His changes, including state-of-the-art training facilities, renowned players and top-notch managers, have led Chelsea to win 15 trophies during his tenure, according to Sportsskeeda.

Currently, Chelsea are ranked No.4 in the Premier League table, with just a few games to go. Abramovich’s success with Chelsea has also drawn criticism. Many detractors claim that billionaire owners are using the wealth to distort the player’s market. They complain that only the wealthiest clubs can afford the big name players, distorting the league and its game.

Finding success in business has been easier, but his personal life is another story. Abramovich divorced three times, spending millions of dollars in cash and assets. He met his second wife in 1990 on a flight to Germany. Irina worked as a flight attendant and the two married soon after in 1991.

The couple have been married for 16 years and have five children together. They divorced in 2007, Irina reportedly received $ 300 million in settlement, according to The Guardian. Since then, former Mrs Abramovich has led a quiet life – focusing on her children, friends and her new religion. The couple remained on good terms, keeping a united front for their children.

In an interview with The mirror, Irina always finds happiness in the easiest way. “This light comes from communication within my family, from meeting friends, from frequent trips around the world, from meeting people from different cultures.

She is active on Instagram but only with selected friends. His explanation for restricted access was simple. “I just understood that a lot of people are interested in minor details that are not at all important: what kind of dress I wear, where the dinner is taking place, who are (my) friends.”

Before finalizing his second divorce, rumors circulated that he was dating Dasha Zhukova, daughter of oligarch Alexander Zhukov. The two got married in 2008 and have two children together. The marriage did not last, however, as the couple divorced in 2018. The split earned Abramovich at least $ 92.3 million. the New York Post reports that Abramovich transferred ownership to Zhukova on the Upper East Side of New York City.

The property is a combination of townhouses the couple were renovating to create a mega-mansion, as well as various co-ops. Despite his divorces and significant payments associated with each of them, Abramovich’s interest in Chelsea FC remains unscathed. The Russian oligarch plans to continue at the football club, with the goal of acquiring more trophies.

Considering all the money he has pumped into the squad and their huge success since then, Chelsea’s loyalists remain happy to have him on board. Hopefully, her future romantic attempts skew the path to her business success instead of her previous relationships.
