According to Forbes magazine, the most wealthy representatives of Russian show business are the famous trainers Edgard and Askold Zapashny. Their condition has come close to $ 6 million. Despite the fact that this round sum was earned by both twin brothers, and not by one of them, such an achievement can truly be called a breakthrough in the domestic circus business, which in recent decades was, to put it mildly, not at an altitude compared to the Soviet circus. It remains only to congratulate the famous trainers with such success. Their rich stars and part-time parents can rightfully be proud of their talented sons, the successors of the famous circus dynasty!
The second place in rating "Forbes" was unexpectedly occupied by Grigory Leps. By 2011, the singer managed to increase his capital to $ 5 million, having bypassed Alla Pugacheva, her ex-wife Philip Kirkorov and the current favorite of the "Diva" - Maxim Galkin. Such an achievement can be explained by a large number of fans of the singer. Grigory Leps often breaks records of the number of listeners at concerts and sales of his audio recordings. The individuality of the artist's creativity brought him a constant audience of fans, which every year is only replenished.
On the third place in the list of the richest people of Russian show business, perhaps the most scandalous singer of the domestic stage - Philip Kirkorov - is confidently located. After, to all known "pink blouse" and a string of small scandals, the ex-spouse "Prima Donna" once again distinguished himself. In the midst of the rehearsal of the Golden Gramophone Philip Bedrosovich beat the director of the show - Marina Yablokov. But all this did not stop, and maybe even helped, to earn Kirkorov almost $ 5 million.
A little less, namely, 4, 7 million dollars earned Maxim Galkin, taking fourth place in the Russian rating "Forbes". Maxim owes much to this success of "close acquaintance" with Alla Borisovna, who is not only his civic wife, but also the patroness of the young showman's work. On the other hand, if Galkin were not a talented TV presenter, comedian, singer and actor, it would be difficult for him to earn even half of his current state.
The fifth place is occupied by the "Primadonna" herself. In this case, comments are superfluous. It would be surprising if Alla Pugacheva did not get into the top ten richest stars of Russian show business, where she has been holding for several years and seems not to leave in the years to come. Her condition is 4, 5 million.
On the sixth place in the rating of the magazine "Forbes", among the richest celebrities in Russia, was Timur Bekmambetov. A talented filmmaker, clipmaker and producer has already entered the top five of the world's best filmmakers. His film "Particularly dangerous" with Angelina Jolie in the title role collected more than 84 million dollars and brought Timur Bekmambetov world recognition. To earn $ 4 million, the director was also helped by his famous films: Night Watch, Day Watch, The Irony of Fate. Continuation "," Fur-trees ". Timur Bekmambetov has all chances to rise higher in the Forbes rating next year.
The seventh place in the top ten of the richest domestic celebrities went to Dima Bilan. The winner of "Eurovision-2008" earned 3, 7 million dollars. In addition to new English-language hits, Dima continues to present other surprises to his fans. Not so long ago, the singer admitted that the long-awaited wedding of many fans and journalists with Lena Kuletskaya was nothing but a successful PR move invented by the brilliant producer Yana Rudkovskaya. So Dima's statement that if he wins the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, then the successful model of Lena will become his wife, and it remains only a statement. And indeed: what can you not imagine before such a decisive event!
The eighth place in the rating belongs to Nikolai Baskov. Recently, Nicholas not only sings on stage and corporate parties, but also is a successful TV host of entertainment programs and concerts. To date, the singer's fortune amounts to $ 3.6 million. No matter how prophesied Nicholas penniless existence after the divorce from Svetlana Der Spiegel, this did not happen.
Ninth place is the charming singer Valeria. For many years, with her unique voice and stunning appearance, her mother and three children are delighted with her fans and an amazingly talented woman. Valeria earned 3, 5 million dollars.
At the very bottom of the "rich dozen" housed the "nightingale" of the domestic stage - Valery Meladze. Which is also very good - the singer's capital is 3, 2 million dollars.
In 2011, the ten richest stars of Russian show business were not included: Ksenia Sobchak, Maria Sharapova, Natalia Vodyanova and the Mumiy Troll group.
