Dmitry Vladislavovich Brekotkin is a vivid example of the fact that humorous talent can bring a good income. He, unlike his colleagues from the "Ural dumplings", has nothing to do with business, he earns only acting.
A simple guy from Sverdlovsk, carried away and looking for himself, restless, but very talented in the comedy genre is Dmitry Brekotkin. Now his childhood friends and relatives say that they would never believe that he would one day become a mega-popular, in-demand actor and showman. This happened! Dmitry Vladislavovich's fees for several hours of work can exceed the mark of 300 thousand rubles.
Humor as a business
In his school years, Brekotkin gravitated more towards sports, did not even think about acting. The young man was engaged in several areas at once - sambo, skiing, orienteering, swimming, badminton. In wrestling, he even achieved certain heights - he became a master of sports. But congenital restlessness did not allow him to fully reveal himself in any kind of sport.
After serving in the army and after entering USTU, he became interested in KVN, but did not plan to turn his hobby into a profession and the main source of income. He just played KVN with friends, enjoying it.
During this period, he was already expelled from the university, he worked as a loader, a bricklayer at a construction site in order to somehow survive, but he did not leave creativity, it became a part of his life. His humorous talent began to bring in income in 2007, when the project "Ural dumplings" "entrenched" on one of the Russian TV channels.
Brekotkin is one of the few former KVN players who managed to turn humor into a profitable business. He does not occupy the highest position in the rating of his colleagues, but he cannot be called poor either. Dmitry managed to buy an apartment in the capital, he no longer needs to look for part-time jobs "on the side", he is only busy with creativity.
Dmitry Brekotkin's fees - how much and how he earns
Since 2007, Dmitry has lived only on what his humorous talent brings him, and it should be noted that he lives well. In addition to shows on television, he acts in films, performs at private and city events, tries himself as a TV presenter and even a solo singer of songs.
Which of the directions brings him more income is unknown. Dmitry does not like to discuss the financial side of his life with journalists, either does not answer such questions at all, or he reduces everything to a joke.
On the artist's official website, you can find information on how to invite him to a private event, how much his services will cost. According to the data posted there, the standard 5 hours of the artist's performance will cost the customer at least 300,000 rubles. This amount does not include payment for the star's travel to the place of work, accommodation and meals. A potential customer should take into account that these cost items will also fall "on his shoulders." But Dmitry does not put forward special requirements for these nuances, unlike his colleagues, but he is rather ascetic in his wishes.
Brekotkin's career on TV and cinema
This comedian appeared on TV back in 1995, when he entered the stage of the KVN game together with the Uralskiye Pelmeni student team. Even then, his talent was highly appreciated by the jury of the game, critics and fans. In addition to KVN, there were many TV projects in his creative life:
- "Thank God you came!"
- Show News,
- "Give, youth",
- "A big difference",
- "South Butovo",
- "Unreal story" and others.
In each project, Dmitry became his face, the main character, in some he played several roles at once, which speaks volumes. In addition, he starred in commercials, for example, became the face of the TV operator "Tricolor".
Brekotkin left his "mark" in the cinema as well. He has already played in two films - he played the role of the pizza delivery guy Alexei in the film "A Very Russian Detective" and played the role of the main character in the film "Lucky Case". This area of activity also became successful for him, brought in income, but did not become the main one. Dmitry is closer to the humorous genre in sitcoms and TV shows.
Personal life of humorous actor Dmitry Brekotkin
Dmitry was considered an exemplary family man until 2017. He met his wife while still a university student. In the so-called "construction brigade". The fateful meeting took place in 1994, and in 1995 the couple formalized the relationship and became a family. Two years later, in 1997, the eldest daughter Anastasia was born to Dmitry and Catherine, and in 2004 the youngest was Elizabeth. All his free time, the comedian spent with his wife and daughters, transported them to the capital as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
In 2017, rumors appeared in the media that the Brekotkins were getting divorced or had already divorced. Dmitry, like his wife Catherine, remained silent, did not comment on these speculations, did not confirm or refute them. A little later, another "news" awaited the comedian's fans - Brekotkin had a new girlfriend, she gave birth to his third child, a son. Dmitry again did not react in any way. But one of his friends and colleagues at Uralskiye Dumplings said that Ekaterina and her daughters had returned to Yekaterinburg. Could this serve as a confirmation of family discord?
Dmitry's fans would like to hear the truth from their idol, but he is in no hurry to answer questions about the vicissitudes in his personal life, and this is his right. Brekotkin has always been somewhat closed from the press and the public. Most of his interviews smoothly flow into the plane of a joke, and that's where they end.
