The whole world is watching with rapture how Putin's oligarchs, who fell under sanctions, suffer from lack of money.
The vagaries and quirks of Roman Abramovich are legendary. At a time when he literally did not count his money, he could afford any whim, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to TSN.
For example, once he wanted to taste his favorite Japanese restaurant, Ubon, in London's Canary Wharf.
And it doesn't matter that Abramovich's irresistible desire to eat sushi from a London restaurant visited Abramovich at the moment when he was in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, approximately 4000 & nbsp; kilometers. The oligarch did not resist his desires, but simply made a order by phone in the amount of 1500 dollars and sent a private plane for sushi.
It is assumed that the cost of the dish and delivery turned out to be at least 59 000 dollars and this, apparently, is the expensive meal to takeaway in the world.
Now imagine how this person feels when all his assets are blocked, real estate is seized, but the salaries of the service must be paid.
We recently wrote that, according to an insider, Roman Abramovich is trying to borrow $750,000 to pay salaries to service personnel for at least one month. In less than a day, the official representative of the Putin oligarch denied this information, but it did not look very convincing.
And yet, the British edition of the Daily Mail decided to calculate how much money Abramovich needs to maintain his movable and immovable property.
According to the New York Post, he spends $750,000 a week on employee salaries—nearly $38 million a year.
Where does this amount come from, you ask, judge for yourself. There are 176 crew members on his superyachts alone. And then there's the vast real estate.

< strong>Abramovich's bodyguards
Abramovich is said to travel with a team of ten bodyguards, including former intelligence officers, who can earn up to about $600 a day.
Thus, about 40 million dollars a year, as they say, take it out and put it down, regardless of whether you use this property or it is frozen by sanctions. Abramovich cannot sell all this either, it is forbidden.
