Trivia

Born into a Jewish family. His mother Irina Vasilevna was a musician and his father worked as a supplier at a construction trust in Syktyvkar. His mother, Irina Ostrowski Abramovich, died from bacteremia as a result of a back-alley abortion when Roman was one year old. His father Arkady Abramovich was killed in an incident on a construction site when Roman was three years old. Abramovich grew up as an orphan in his uncle's family in Ukhta and with his grandmother, Tatyana Semenovna[11], in Moscow.

Owns U.K. soccer club, Chelsea.

Abramovich was the governor of Chukotka from 2000 to 2008.

Boosted his security staff to a 40-person "private army", making him one of the best protected businessmen in the world.

Purchased Francis Bacon's Triptych for US$86.3 million (a record price for a post-war work of art) and Lucian Freud's Benefits Supervisor Sleeping for $33.6 million (a record price for a work by a living artist).

Owns a private Boeing 767.

Is the world's greatest spender on luxury yachts (at least 5) - themost expensive being the Eclipse, which is being built in Germany by Blohm + Voss and when completed late in 2008 is expected to be 160 metres long - around 13 metres longer than the initial designs. It is believed to cost Abramovich around $300 million and will be the world's third largest yacht with at least two swimming pools, two helipads, several on board tenders and a submarine.

Quote: "Investors have very short memories."

Quote: "The goal is to win. It's not about making money. I have many much less risky ways of making money than this (buying Chelsea football club). I don't want to throw my money away, but it's really about having fun and that means success and trophies."
