But let’s not immediately reveal all the secrets, laying out all the available cards on the table in one fell swoop. Find all the most interesting things about Doronin’s life and career further in our article.
The early years and first steps of Vladislav Doronin in business
Vladislav Doronin was born in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) on November 7, 1962. However, this fact is practically the only reliable news from the childhood of the Russian millionaire. Almost nothing is known about Doronin’s early life. That is why many representatives of the media often put forward the version that the entrepreneur allegedly deliberately hides all data in any way related to his past. These messages are indirectly refuted only by Doronin’s ex-wife, noting that Vladislav “comes from an intelligent family.”In turn, the official biography of our today's hero begins from the moment of his move to Moscow and subsequent admission to Lomonosov Moscow State University. The entrepreneur studied at this educational institution for several years, but subsequently left Russia and moved to Switzerland, where he subsequently received an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree.
However, at the very beginning of his professional career, Vladislav Doronin was engaged in a slightly different type of activity and worked primarily in the field of buying and selling real estate. By engaging in this type of business, our today's hero managed to amass good capital, which subsequently formed the basis of his future commercial successes.
Vladislav Doronin's success in business
In 1989, Vladislav began working for the international company Mark Rich & Co, which operated in the trade sector. During this period, our today's hero made close acquaintance with Eduard Berman and Uzbek businessman Pavel Tyo, who later became his business partners. In 1991, Doronin founded and headed the now famous company Capital Group, which subsequently became a prominent player in the Russian market.During the first years after its establishment, Doronin’s company was primarily engaged in office construction, constructing exclusively office buildings and class A and B+ business centers. In this regard, it is worth especially noting the company’s participation in the Moscow City project, as well as the construction of its two most impressive buildings - the Moscow and St. Petersburg towers.

Since 1997, the Capital Group company has also been implementing projects in the field of residential real estate, building premium-class country cottages and entire residential complexes. In addition, since 2002, the company has been successfully engaged in the construction of shopping centers and retail space. One of the first projects of Doronin’s company in this regard was the Moscow shopping center “Metromarket”.

Currently, various publications assess Vladislav Doronin’s condition differently. IN different years various means The media quoted amounts ranging from $2 billion to $6.7 billion. Currently, our today's hero is firmly among the richest people Russia.
Personal life of Vladislav Doronin
Even in his youth, Vladislav Doronin married a girl named Ekaterina. The businessman lived in marriage with her for twenty-one years. During this time, their joint daughter Katya was born.However, despite the long period of official marriage, this love union existed for a long time only on paper. Back in the early 2000s, the entrepreneur began dating Swedish supermodel Karen Schonbachler. Despite the fact that Doronin was officially married all this time, this romance lasted about five years.
Subsequently, the press actively discussed the details of the entrepreneur’s affair with another model, American Naomi Campbell. The lovers decided to appear together for the first time at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. Subsequently, the Russian and the American were practically inseparable.
During his affair with Naomi, Doronin even decided to get a legal divorce, which could easily cost him half of his fortune. However, after long negotiations with his ex-wife, they managed to settle on a much smaller amount - $10 million.
The divorce was legally formalized in 2009, but despite this, three years later, Vladislav Doronin and Naomi Campbell officially separated. In this context, it is worth noting that Vladislav’s ex-wife, as well as almost all of his relatives, have repeatedly accused the dark-skinned model of the selfish nature of her relationship with the businessman.
The oligarch himself
intends to closely work on his new “brainchild” - the premium chain of AMAN resorts, whose geography covers over 20 countries.
Vladislav Doronin has always been ambitious and aimed at success. At 23, when most of his peers were enjoying freedom after graduating from college and “ adulthood“, he went to Switzerland to get an MBA, which few people had heard of in the Soviet Union in 1985. He himself is surprised how he managed to leave then - apparently, the desire to see the world was so strong that it was visualized on this trip, which radically changed his whole life. Already in Zurich, a progressive upward movement began - first in the trading company Marc Rich + Co, which worked with the USSR and, accordingly, highly valued the Russian-speaking trader, and then - in 1991 - in the field of development, which Doronin decided to do after returning to Russia.
Having founded his own company, Capital Group, the entrepreneur focused primarily on office construction, also becoming one of the first private developers of the Moscow City project. In 1993, Doronin was joined by Eduard Berman and Pavel Tyo, who yesterday were handed over the reins of the company, which has become one of the leaders of the capital's development, whose portfolio includes more than 70 completed, under construction and designed projects, including the City of Capitals tower and "Oko" in the City, residential complex "Legend of Tsvetnoy", country residence Barvikha Hills. As stated on the official website of Capital Group, “in his new capacity, Pavel Tyo will be responsible for strategic development, the formation of a portfolio of promising sites for the company’s future projects, relationships with strategic partners, and also carry out a representative function in government bodies at the federal and metropolitan levels”, while “Vladislav Doronin continues to be involved in current development projects, and also develops new areas of the company’s activities, in particular, fee-development”.
It is already known that one of Vladislav Doronin’s priority projects will be the premium resort chain AMAN, acquired in 2014 from an Indian construction company for $358 million. Created in 1988, the chain operates 30 luxury hotels located in 20 countries, in particular in the USA, Japan, Dominican Republic, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Greece. According to the entrepreneur, AMAN has big plans: "We will come to Africa[Gabon and Mozambique mentioned] , Latin America[Argentina, Brazil and Peru are being considered as potential sites, as is the idea of a tented camp in the Galapagos Islands] , to the Middle East, to China. Large cities will not be left without attention. The Tokyo project has already shown excellent results, so our plans include London, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong".
It is known that a new business project began with... love at first sight. True, this love was not for a woman (although, as we know, Doronin is a great connoisseur female beauty- remember only the bright romance with Naomi Campbell, which was endlessly savored by glossy publications), and to the Amanpuri hotel, located in Phuket, after visiting which the businessman, by his own admission, “turned into an aman-holic.” Today, his plans include not only maintaining the proper level of customer service, but also developing the network: for this, the world's leading top managers, as well as architects, have been invited to manage the project, offering progressive design solutions that take AMAN to a fundamentally new level. Although it would seem much higher if David Beckham celebrated his 40th birthday in one of the chain’s hotels, and George Clooney even celebrated his wedding.
By the way, AMAN is not only a business project, but also “a matter for the soul,” because Vladislav Doronin is a real “professional traveler” who has traveled all over the world and absorbs new traditions and cultures with interest. For example, the Russian oligarch owes his magnificent form (he turned 54 on November 7!) to yoga and qigong - an ancient breathing and meditative practice, which he practices daily under the guidance of an experienced Chinese master. In addition, Doronin is studying Chinese, because he believes that “in 10 years we will all learn to speak Chinese”.
They are known not only for their very large and sometimes even colossal achievements in business, but also for their large-scale ups and downs in their personal lives. One of these influential entrepreneurs, who is worth talking about in more detail, is Vladislav Yuryevich Doronin. We will study his life milestones in the article.
Birth
The future millionaire made his first cry on November 7, 1962 in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). This is where the reliable facts from his early years of life end, since throughout his life he diligently hides his past. His ex-wife only correctly says that Doronin comes from a very intelligent and cultured family.
Education
The official start of Vladislav’s biography can be considered his move to Moscow and study at Moscow State University, where he spent several years as a student. But then the future head of Capital Group ended up in Switzerland, where he was able to obtain a master's degree in business administration.
Career start
At the very beginning of his active career, businessman Vladislav Doronin was involved in the sale and purchase of real estate. It was by working in this direction that our hero was able to accumulate impressive financial capital, which over time turned out to be a powerful basis for his subsequent commercial success.
First serious achievements in business
In 1989, Vladislav Yuryevich Doronin began his work in a well-known company called Mark Rich & Co, which was involved in the trading sector. It was at this time that the Russian met and became friends with Eduard Berman and businessman from Uzbekistan Pavel Tyo. After some time, these two entrepreneurs became Doronin’s reliable business partners. In 1991, Vladislav found himself at the helm of the Capital Group corporation, which in a fairly short period was able to become one of the most prominent players in the Russian market.
In the first years, the company was involved in the construction of office buildings, constructing prestigious class business centers. It is worth noting that the company took part in the construction of the Moscow City structure, including the construction of the Moscow Tower and the St. Petersburg Tower.
In 1997, the company began to engage in the construction of residential buildings. Most often, Doronin is asked to build elite class cottages or a large residential complex. Since 2002, the businessman has also entered into the construction of shopping centers. In particular, the Moscow shopping center “Metromarket” is the brainchild of his corporation.
Today's days
Vladislav Doronin, whose biography interests large number people, nowadays occupies a high position in the ranking of capital developers. And since his company is in continuous close cooperation with various architectural agencies around the world, the businessman’s projects are always characterized by excellent precision of design elements and ideal aestheticism, which leave no one indifferent.
The Capital Tower and Pushkin House complexes, the Barvikha Hills country residence, and the Yacht City, Avenue 77, and ECO residential buildings deserve special attention. All this is the work of specialists from Doronin’s company.
In 2007, the structural division Capital Group Commercial emerged within the corporation, the main activity of which was the management of commercial assets.
Entering the international arena
At the beginning of 2014, Vladislav Yuryevich Doronin managed to become the owner of the holding company Aman Group, which is an association of various international resorts.

Marital status
While still young, Vladislav Doronin, whose personal life is replete with colorful novels, entered into official marriage with his beloved named Ekaterina. The couple lived together for 21 years. During this period, a daughter, Katya, was born into the family. But, despite such a long period over the years, in reality the couple lived together much less, since at the dawn of the 2000s the businessman began dating a model from Sweden, Karen Schonbachler. In this love triangle the entrepreneur stayed for about five years.
Divorce
For a long period of time, Vladislav Yuryevich Doronin could not amicably come to an agreement with his legal wife Katya about breaking off relations. An important remark should be made here: the couple entered into a legal marriage in the United States, therefore, taking into account this moment and the duration of their relationship, the American court could well have awarded half of the spouse’s property. Ultimately, the former lovers divorced in 2009. It cost Vladislav 10 million dollars. After the divorce, Catherine remained to live in the UK.
Relationship with Black Panther
During the Cannes Film Festival in 2008, Doronin met a well-known fashion model. Their romance broke out almost instantly and was actively discussed by all the world's leading tabloids. There was information that the couple would get married, but despite the announced wedding dates, the celebration was never held.

The authoritative architect of Indian origin Zaha Hadid was invited to design the building, located in the elite district of Moscow - Barvikha. But all this ultimately turned out to be useless, because the hot-tempered and wayward Naomi could not keep Vladislav near her, they finally broke up in 2012. By the way, almost all relatives and even ex-wife Doronin was unanimously accused of the American woman’s selfish approach in her relationship with him.
After being alone for a short time, the oligarch found himself a new lady of his heart. She was Chinese Luo Zilin, who won the title of “Miss China” in 2011. By the way, for posting joint photos from a beach holiday on the Internet, a young Asian model was fired from her job for non-compliance with ethics and morality. It is noteworthy that she met the entrepreneur thanks to Naomi at one of the shows. But this relationship also ended in separation. And in 2014, Doronin began dating his compatriot Kristina Romanova, who is 30 years younger than him. At the beginning of 2016, the lovers had a daughter.

Villa in Turkey for Naomi Campbell
In 2011, Doronin gave Naomi a luxurious villa in Turkey in the shape of the eye of the god Horus. The author of the project was Luis de Garrido. Any architect dreams of such a project, and Louis was not constrained by either funds or flights of fancy.
The mansion is environmentally friendly and completely energy independent. To store electricity, solar panels are installed throughout the dome, and a rain collection system is provided to collect water. The house also has a wastewater treatment system to prevent environmental pollution.
The project is based on a glass dome on a steel frame in the form of a hemisphere. Under the dome there is a garden with panoramic views. The building has five living rooms and about twenty bedrooms. To protect from excess sunlight, the dome is equipped with special blinds.
House in Barvikha
A year after the first gift, Vladislav began construction of another masterpiece. This time, the project was undertaken by the world-famous architect Zaha Hadid, who usually does not engage in private construction, but could not refuse the offer of the Russian millionaire. The building was built in a futuristic style and resembles a submarine and a UFO at the same time.
The total area of this cottage exceeds 2500 sq. m. meters. The design used curved lines, sloping roofs and huge panels of glass, and there are no 90-degree angles. Large panoramic windows They let a lot of light into the room and make it possible to admire the night sky at night or bathe in the rays of the sun during the day.
Like the Turkish living space, this building was built in eco-style, it harmoniously combines natural materials in a modern design. The building is fully equipped with a “smart home” system.
The Capital Hill Residence mansion is located away from the other residents of this village, surrounded by a pine forest. On the ground floor there is a spacious hall for receiving friends and guests with a fireplace, a rectangular table and many chairs, a dining room, a kitchen and a swimming pool.
Above the main building rises a huge tower more than twenty meters high, which offers a magnificent view of the surrounding forests. It contains spacious bedrooms for the owners of a futuristic structure. Beneath them there are supposedly children's rooms, which will soon no longer be empty, since new girlfriend businessman and model Kristina Romanova, according to some media reports, is six months pregnant.
On the ground floor there are: a Russian bath, a sauna and a hammam, a large gym and a guest room.
According to some experts, Zaha Hadid received about 100 thousand dollars for the implementation of this project, and the construction itself required investments of more than 70 million dollars. The most expensive mansion in this village cost about 70 million, and a new building may cost a little more thanks to the name of the architect.
