In the USSR, it was difficult to break into the “Olympus”: there was censorship, and a lot of bans, and various strict requirements. But some stars still managed to break through communism and make millions.
Sergey Mikhalkov was the official millionaire
The author of the texts of the USSR anthem, screenwriter, writer and editor-in-chief of the film magazine “Wick”, he had all sorts of top awards and titles. They say that Mikhalkov had so much money that he might even afford to buy a mansion in the center of St. Petersburg.
Yuri Antonov was the first legal Soviet millionaire on the stage
His official salary was 15,000 rubles, when mere mortals received 120 rubles a month. But before that, he sold imported equipment. This business brought him so much money that, as he himself said, even if he ate, drank and lived in the best hotels and restaurants in the world, the money would not run out.
Lyudmila Zykina achieved everything thanks to her diligence
The singer devoted her whole life to her beloved work: until the last she went with concerts and visited 62 countries. Lyudmila also loved various decorations. They say that the cost of her collection was 163 million rubles. And in 2012, part of the jewelry that belonged to the singer was sold for 31 million rubles. Why only a part? The second part disappeared somewhere in the most mysterious way and has not yet been found.
The main singer of the USSR Lidia Ruslanova was able to get to the “Olympus” from the very bottom
At the age of 4, she became an orphan and survived as best she might. But fate gave the girl a chance, giving her a unique voice, which made her the main singer of the country. And not just the main, but also the highest paid artist of the country. With all the money she earned, the singer bought paintings and jewelry.
There were legends regarding the wealth of Lydia Ruslanova, it is difficult to say exactly how much the singer had. They also said that Ruslanova hid the diamonds in her bra.
Trainer Natalya Durova and her fantastic wealth
Natalya was born into a circus dynasty and continued the family business. She owned apartments in Moscow, Paris, she was very fond of buying antiques and furniture, and her diamond collection was estimated at millions of dollars.
Chess player Anatoly Karpov rose at major international tournaments
But in addition to income from winnings, Karpov is also an avid stamp collector. His collection is valued at $13 million.
