Successful entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov has been married for 30 years with his beloved woman. He is satisfied with the business, his family life and the chosen one. Who is this woman who managed to get the heart of a Russian billionaire?
Biography of Oleg Tinkov
The successful entrepreneur was born into a simple working class family in 1967. They lived modestly, like most people in Soviet times. As a child, Oleg gave preference not to study, but to cycling. After graduating from school, he entered the Institute of Mining in St. Petersburg.
During his student years, he met his future wife. The acquaintance took place in 1989. By that time, the young man had already discovered his entrepreneurial abilities. However, at that time this type of business was called fartsovka.
The first meeting of Oleg and his beloved took place in a disco club. The girl introduced herself as Rina, but disappeared at the end of the evening. The young man only 2 months later was able to find her and invite her on a date. The enterprising guy was not taken aback and immediately took the girl to the most luxurious restaurant in the city. Expensive dinner, romantic atmosphere impressed. Close relationships began to develop rapidly. In addition, as Rina notes, she saw how many other girls wanted to be in her place, so she did not want to miss the enviable groom. The young couple enjoyed socializing together.
For a while, there were rumors that Tinkov was able to spin up his empire thanks to the connections and state of his father-in-law. This is not true. Rina's father worked as a miner. Perhaps, in the Soviet Union, his earnings could be called quite high, but there was no talk of wealth.
Banker career
The young couple Tinkovs began their civil union, living in a small room in a hostel. Oleg began to actively engage in commerce. In the country, a shortage of products was observed in almost everything. So, “Buy and resell!” Was the slogan of many enterprising people. However, at first, it was not possible to earn a fixed decent income. But people began to appear in the country who, before our very eyes, became more wealthy. And therefore, the desire for a luxurious life only grew stronger in the minds of the young couple.
The 90s became fateful for the majority of Soviet people. Unfortunately for many, this time was marked by unemployment, poverty and total loss.
Nevertheless, Oleg Tinkov was not taken aback. He dropped out of university and began to rapidly develop his own business. The common-law spouse supported her husband in everything. The willingness to take risks, the ability to feel the spirit of the times, and to be ahead of the curve brought their results. The Tinkov corporation grew, the wealth increased.
Tinkov began to look for direct suppliers and establish contacts. At first, his choice fell on household appliances and electronics. After a while, he resold this already promoted business and became interested in acquiring his own brewery. In this field, Oleg Tinkov also achieved certain heights and impressive growth in his fortune. The products gained popularity in the country and began to be sold in large volumes not only in our country, but also abroad. In 2005, this lucrative business was also sold to Tinkov.
He set himself a new ambitious goal - to create the most famous bank in the world and successfully implemented his plans. Oleg Tinkov earned the greatest popularity, profit and name just from his bank. In 2006, he opened the first online bank in Russia. The entrepreneur successfully adopted the model of remote work with clients from his Western colleagues. And now the bank works like a Swiss watch, generating profit and inspiring confidence. In 2017, Tinkov's fortune exceeded one billion dollars.
Billionaire's wedding
After 20 years of marriage, Oleg Tinkov decided to legalize his relationship with his beloved woman. The wedding ceremony took place at Lake Baikal. It was attended by three children of the newlyweds who have already grown up: the eldest daughter and two sons. Tinkov himself notes that he loves his wife, who is a reliable guardian of the hearth. Rina is engaged in raising children, herself, comfort, and Oleg, meanwhile, earns money.
Famous brand
The talented entrepreneur also turned out to be a creative person, having written his own book, Revolution, about the work of his bank. In the book, Tinkov shares with readers the secrets of creating and promoting the world's largest online bank. It turns out that a successful brand of the same name, which appeared during the production of beer, was advised by a German businessman. Tinkov planned to name his brand - `` Our Beer '', but an experienced friend dissuaded him: `` Call your products by your name, we have it that way. ''
