People's Artist of the Russian Federation, Adviser to the President for Culture and Arts, a member of the Federal Council for Arts, a singer with a unique voice, a happy wife and a mother of many children - this is Valeria. What was her path to success and fame? How much does the favorite of millions - singer Valeria earn? What new projects is she preparing for her fans?
Three marriages, scandals and a way to the stage
Valeria (Alla Perfilova) was born in the city of Atkarsk, Saratov region, in April 1968. The girl graduated from high school and music school with gold medals. Immediately after graduation I entered the "Gnesinka", on the course of pop vocal, studied brilliantly there as well.
She got married for the first time while still a student. The spouse of the future singer was Yaroshevsky Leonid - an infantile man, behind whom there was already an unsuccessful marriage. He also became the singer's first producer, but she herself understood that she was capable of more, both personally and professionally.
Valeria's second marriage, with producer and musician Alexander Shulgin, was even more unsuccessful. Three children were born in the marriage, Valeria “got” access to the big stage, which she dreamed of so much, and an army of fans, but at home she turned into a “punching bag”. In the end, the woman fled from her tyrant husband, found the strength to return to the profession, to start life literally from scratch.
And only in her third marriage, singer Valeria found happiness and peace. At first, relations with Joseph Prigogine were purely business-like - he became her new producer. But very soon the man and the woman realized that they liked each other. Now they are not only successful partners, but also loving spouses, an example for other married couples from the world of Russian show business.
Valeria's income at the beginning of her career
In the USSR, all artists in terms of income were equal - popular and not very popular, all received standard payments in the form of salaries and for concerts. Valeria in 1985 was an aspiring vocalist, then a student, that is, it is impossible to talk about high earnings.
She did not have recitals, for which they paid from 11 to 17 rubles, like Pugacheva or Leontyev, for example. In fact, Iosif Kobzon “paved the way” for Valeria's big stage. He supported the girl at the competition in Jurmala, helped with solo numbers and later in the capital, which gave not only fame, but also a small income.
During the marriage with Shulgin, Valeria did not see any money at all. Financial and organizational issues were handled by Alexander, and his wife only sang and was beaten after concerts at home.
After fleeing from her husband, Valeria and her children literally had no means of subsistence, at first they were hiding in a private house with friends. Valeria received the opportunity to go on stage again and receive at least some fees for her singing only after she divorced Shulgin.
How much does singer Valeria earn now
Concerts, solo numbers, corporate parties, album sales - these and many other sources form the budget of singer Valeria and her husband, producer Joseph Prigogine.
The performances of the People's Artist at events of any kind cost from 1 million rubles or more. But not the entire amount remains for the singer and her producer. They have a team that accompanies them on tour and away performances. They pay a little less than half of the total amount to musicians, dancers, and technical staff.
Corporate events with the participation of the singer Valeria are many times more expensive. The fee for her performance is from 3.5 to 7 million rubles. Such income allowed the Prigozhins couple to record an English-language album of songs, which they planned to sell not only in Russia, but also abroad. But this area of activity did not give the expected results, and Valeria returned to Russian show business.
How old is Valeria
The singer looks unusually young, despite the fact that her age has already "passed" over 50. What is this - the result of hard work or congenital youthfulness?
Valeria leads a healthy lifestyle, monitors her diet, insists that all her relatives - her husband and children - also eat right. In addition, the singer has been seriously engaged in yoga for a long time.
Valeria, according to her, has never done plastic surgery and is not going to do it. Often, journalists try to find traces of surgery on her Instagram photo, but all that the artist resorts to is at least photoshop.
Many years ago, the singer limited her consumption of meat, and recently she completely abandoned it. But the secret of Valeria's beauty and youth is not only vegetarianism, but also sports. She trains, runs and does yoga exercises even while on tour.
