Dmitry Alexandrovich Dibrov is a Soviet and Russian journalist, producer, actor, director, showman, TV presenter and music performer. He is a member of the Academy of Russian Television, and his career has been associated with five federal channels throughout his professional career. Fans want to know the details about the financial viability of their idol.
The imposing and creative approach of Dmitry Dibrov is well known to viewers throughout the post-Soviet space. The program "Oh, lucky!", Later renamed "Who wants to become a millionaire?", Can rightfully be considered his brainchild. According to the most popular artist, from the age of 6 he wanted to put things in order in the “sacred box”, because even then he noticed that the pretentious words that sound from there have nothing to do with the reality of the surrounding world.
In order to understand the quality of life of Dmitry Dibrov and, accordingly, his level of income, it is best to follow some fragments of his professional activity. And for this, you can simply analyze some of the words that he very casually and calmly voices to journalists in his interviews.

In the evening, New Arbat is notable for its splendor and luxury. A respectable hotel with ideally trained staff, reminiscent of their uniforms of military personnel at a parade, very laconically fits into the picture of the chic life of the capital. Dmitry Dibrov appears in the lobby of this institution with his “smile in a million”, famous throughout the country, and greets everyone very casually. Here he is awaited by the correspondent of "KP", who immediately begins to ask questions to the famous TV presenter and showman of the country.
According to Dmitry, he is trying to create something like an "English club" out of this quite ordinary place. He also runs auctions here. Its ability to magically influence the audience has a very "right" effect on the commercial component of the establishment. Often, he literally "on the go" has to eat, as the rhythm of his life is truly transcendental.
"Educated and interesting" people make up the bulk of the visitors. In the smart casino, they have casual conversations, play and behave politely with the staff. Becoming a member of this prestigious institution is only possible by recommendation, and the entrance fee is $ 2,000. And the casino prize pool is 450,000 US dollars.
How to become a millionaire
The return to the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire program has become truly enchanting. Moreover, the TV presenter himself admits that he was completely ready for this, since he knows the whole “kitchen” very well and has developed a new strategy of behavior. According to Dmitry Alexandrovich himself, he owes his respectability not to “textiles from Armani”, but to his worldview.
The TV presenter admits that he is very impressed by the model of behavior of Vladimir Zhirinovsky. And he compares the creation of his images with writing, when modern authors try to form the plots of their short stories. Moreover, Dibrov pays special attention to speech patterns, which he calls a "philological product", in which he "mixes several ingredients." His primary sources, from which the fundamental material is drawn, include the works of Leskov and Dostoevsky, as well as the original language of the translations of Vonnegut, Salinger and Wright-Kovalev.
The creative presenter admits that he does not fit into the traditional framework of the behavior of his current colleagues in the creative workshop. And about Konstantin Ernst, who is his main employer, he says that he is a “great TV man” who senses current trends, but exclusively in the current moment, and not globally. Moreover, Dibrov believes that all the decisions of the chief, as a rule, give an effective result.
According to Dmitry, the current trends in the development of world and domestic television are to shift the focus from expensive entertainment programs to talented leading leaders and their creative experiments. After all, in addition to the desire to make a lot of money as quickly as possible, one should reckon with reputation, fame and influence. In this regard, consumers of on-air products can be considered not just witnesses of the current events, but also full-fledged representatives of the consumer market, on whose interests the creators of thematic products should be guided.

Despite the absence of a contractual relationship between Channel One and Dmitry Dibrov, he is still his face. Moreover, the TV presenter claims that on TV, only non-professionals can fully rely on the commercial terms spelled out in their employment agreements. Only ratings can be a real measure of the demand for TV presenters.
According to the popular artist, "crazy money" is not paid on television. For example, he categorically rejected the information that Ernst set him a salary of $ 50,000 a month, calling it "complete nonsense." But it is precisely the fact that Dibrov is the face of Channel One that imposes certain requirements on him. So, he cannot afford to appear in public in "obscene form", as well as "to appear in advertising for washing machines or chewing gum."
The popular showman and TV presenter admitted that he can compare his income level with “the profit of a medium-sized enterprise in the periphery of Russia,” but this applies to his activities outside of television. In this sense, his job in a casino, for example, makes him feel financially free. Moreover, this frees him from working at corporate events, which is simply necessary for many colleagues in the creative department.
