Dmitry Rybolovlev
Dmitry Yevgenyevich Rybolovlev is a Russian businessman, investor, and philanthropist. Rybolovlev owned the potash producer Uralkali and in 2011 became the majority owner and President of Monacos football club AS Monaco. His 25yearold daughter Ekaterina Rybolovleva is a well known socialite.
Dmitry Rybolovlev was born in 1966. Rybolovlevs parents were doctors and he himself graduated from the Perm Medical Institute as a cardiologist in 1990. He then started to work in the cardiology emergency service. During his student years, Rybolovlev married Elena, one of his fellow students, and in 1989 their first daughter Ekaterina was born. In the late 1980s Mikhail Gorbachev had started the perestroika that eventually led to the breakup of the Soviet Union and the great economic shocks that followed. During this time Rybolovlev entered the business world. Rybolovlev has said that, as a child growing up in the Soviet Union, he became inspired by the 1912 novel by Theodore Dreiser, The Financier, which tells the story of a man who makes his first fortune in Philadelphia selling soap and then goes on to invest successfully in the stock market.
