Born in Saratov, on 24th October 1966, Abramovich was an orphan by the age of four. His studies ended when he was drafted into the Soviet Army.

Although he also holds a Ukrainian passport, Abramovich was elected Chukotka's representative to the Russian Duma in 1999, and became Governor of Chukotka in 2001, showering the province with infrastructure and other funding from his own pocket. Subsequently, Abramovich was able to grant tax waivers to Sibneft in Chukotka.

Through a series of inside deals, Abramovich has amassed a vast fortune. For example, he owns a large stake in the world's second largest Aluminium producer, Russian Aluminium, as well as 49% of television station ORT.
