Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a person who has recently been much interested not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also in Western countries. Great hopes are pinned on him for the revival of Ukraine, and most Ukrainians believe in him.
As you know, Volodymyr Zelenskyy became the president of Ukraine at the beginning of 2019. All candidates for this post were required to submit a declaration of income, which was no exception for Vladimir.
It is noteworthy that Zelensky, having submitted the declaration, was later forced to return it in order to make additions. Most likely it was not his personal motive, but the demands of the CEC of Ukraine. According to the declaration, the total amount of his assets is four million dollars. Due to the difficult relations between Russia and Ukraine, it is currently impossible to obtain official data on the earnings of the current president of Ukraine, but if you trust unverified sources, his income has doubled compared to 2017.
Carier start
Vladimir at the dawn of his career played in KVN. In 1997, he participated in the championship league, after which his team became widely known in the post-Soviet space. In 1998, their team took part in the Sochi festival and made it to the top league. However, the further fate of Vladimir in KVN did not work out. After playing several games, he and his friend Denis Manzhosov left the team. Zelensky blamed Maslyakov for this and complained that he was not allowed to earn money elsewhere. Then he already starred in films and tried himself in business.
Vladimir and Denis studied at the gymnasium N95, which, oddly enough, was located in the 95th quarter and they graduated from it in 1995. The name of the district has become iconic. Now this is the name of the joint studio of Denis and Vladimir, headed by Zelensky. Currently, Kvartal 95 is the largest media studio in Ukraine. This entertainment workshop for the production of TV series, feature films and shows. His acquaintances, friends and colleagues from KVN work in the studio. Among them are Alexander Tkachenko, Alan Badoev, Andrey Chivurin, Naum Barulya, etc.
Start of business
Zelensky's media studio is by far the largest studio in the CIS. The name "Factory of laughter" was assigned to it. It employs about five hundred people who, regardless of the day of the week, write scripts, promote and sell their own films. Nobody undertakes to estimate the exact figures of the earned funds. It is known that Zelensky is registered in at least a dozen companies with various fields of activity.
If we take into account the sphere of activity of Vladimir, then only along this line he is a co-founder of such companies as "Kvartal-Concert", "Kinokvartal", "Animation Studio 95". The popular TV series "Matchmakers" was created at the studio "Kvartal 95". It is planned to continue filming this series, tk. the contract has been extended until 2021.
No matter how the current president of Ukraine treats Russia, this does not prevent him from having his own business there. A certain Green Family LTD company from Cyprus, which took part in the creation of Quarter-95, became a source of great resonance. When this fact became public, a scandal erupted and Zelensky was forced to declare that he was leaving the Cypriot company.
Income
If you believe the declaration of income, the basis of Zelensky's income is entrepreneurial activity. His official salary is $ 60,000 and his entrepreneurial activity is $ 200,000. It is known that he keeps money in two branches of PrivatBank. In Ukrainian there are 12,000 dollars, and in Latvian - about 500,000 dollars. Zelensky's wife owns more than a dozen law firms, and several of them are located abroad.
There are about thirty trade marks in the hands of the newly-made president. The president's press service does not cover his income, but it is absolutely certain that the main source is the percentage of the sale of films, TV series and shows at his own studio.
Currently, the library of Zelensky's media studio has more than 1000 hours of serials that are broadcast in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. TV shows cost an average of $ 40,000. This is the price of one batch. Ready-made content goes somewhere around $ 1,000. The highest price in Belarus. There she can go up to $ 23,000.
The highest-grossing in Ukraine was the painting "I, you, he, she". It was Zelensky's debut as a director. The film is funded by the government at 50%, which cost the government $ 660,000. In the first months of the rental, the film raised $ 2.4 million and 40% of the amount went to Zelensky.
It is quite difficult for experts to calculate the total profit, but those in the know are sure that film production for Zelensky is profitable. They do not understand the reasons why Vladimir went into politics. While in the presidency, he cannot engage in his former craft, which brought him a significant part of his income.
During his active work before the presidential elections, Zelensky earned up to five million dollars a year. After that, his income only increased. Now he "cuts" interest from his company as a founder, and even develops business in other areas.
The affairs of Kvartal-95 took off even more when its organizers began to organize New Year's concerts. Zelenskiy and his company raised an average of $ 30,000 each year on New Year's holidays. Then the blue-screen program "Kvartal" appeared, which quickly began to gain popularity, and was aired once or twice a week. Organized performances to order. One performance was estimated at $ 1,500. After a year of successful activity, the price increased to $ 7,000.
A year later, Kvartala-95 began to organize not only its own tours abroad, but also Ukrainian pop stars. Under their leadership, performances by artists from Europe and the USA were possible in Ukraine. Do not hesitate to "Kvartal-95" and corporate parties. Income from their organizations is up to $ 60,000 per year.
One way or another, Vladimir Zelensky amassed his fortune with painstaking work. He just amused people and skillfully organized his business. As president, he can no longer act, but continues to do his former business as a leader.
