“From high to low and from many to few” Ο The Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich begs his powerful American friends to lend him from $ 1 million each to help him meet his obligations, as his assets have been frozen following Western sanctions. However, for the time being, he finds the doors closed…
According to an exclusive report by the American website Page Six, the owner of the English football team Chelsea – whose bank accounts have been frozen in the USA and the UK – is desperately asking for loans from prominent and powerful friends in order to maintain the salary of his staff – high $ 750,000 a week – which includes the crews of its multiple luxury super yachts.
But while Abramovich has hosted a number of celebrity boating parties on his boats and on his vast estate in St Barth which left an era– and has many close friends in Hollywood, Wall Street and the tech world, his “friends” are reluctant to lend him money. even when participating in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
A source told Page Six, “Roman is asking some of his closest friends to lend him $ 1 million. He says he has never lost his staff’s $ 750,000-a-week paycheck, and with his assets frozen he can not pay his people. “
“He has come in contact with the Hollywood producer and director, Brett Ratner and the Rothschild family, among many others for money, but – while they are good friends with Roman – did not agree to give him money, either because they do not have the amount in cash, or, most likely, because the consequences (of such an act) are not clear according to international law “.
The United Kingdom and the European Union imposed sanctions on Abramovich – who has a fortune of $ 14.3 billion, according to Bloomberg – in early March following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
