Roman Abramovich was known as the "stealth oligarch" before he stepped into the limelight as Chelsea football club鈥檚 sugar daddy owner. The man loves a yacht: his largest cost $427m, and has bullet-proof windows and an escape submarine. Abramovich made his fortune from post-Soviet privatisation, aided by a man known as the 鈥淕odfather of the Kremlin鈥�, Boris Berezovsky, and close ties to Vladimir Putin in the early years of his presidency. But with recent reports of a suspected poisoning and sanctions against him in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war, Abramovich鈥檚 luck might be changing.
