Rinat Akhmetov, the owner of Shakhtar Donetsk, where Arda Turan serves as head coach, draws attention with his billions of dollars in wealth and luxury investments. The 145-meter superyacht of the billionaire of Tatar origin, known as Ukraine's richest businessman, and his hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars residential investment in Monaco reveal the scale of his economic power.
The coach of Ukraine's representative Shakhtar Donetsk, Arda Turan's boss at the club, Rinat Akhmetov, attracts attention not only for his investments in the football world but also for his multibillion-dollar fortune. One of Ukraine's richest businessmen, Akhmetov has a vast business network spanning from mining to energy, and from real estate to metallurgy.
HIS FORTUNE IS WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
According to shared information, Rinat Akhmetov's personal fortune is around $7.8 billion. Ranked among the world's richest businessmen, Akhmetov operates in the metallurgy, mining, energy, and real estate sectors through the corporate group SCM. The billionaire of Tatar origin is among Ukraine's leading business figures.
HE TOOK OVER SHAKHTAR DONETSK IN 1996
Rinat Akhmetov assumed the presidency of Shakhtar Donetsk in 1996. The businessman, who played an important role in the club's development, also provided financing for the Donbass Arena built in Donetsk.
The stadium, said to have cost around $400 million, opened in 2009. However, due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflicts in the region, Shakhtar Donetsk has long been forced to play its matches outside Donetsk.
A $600 MILLION SUPER YACHT
One of Akhmetov's most notable luxury investments is the superyacht Luminance. The approximately 145-meter-long yacht, built at the German Lürssen shipyard, is said to be worth around $600 million. Luminance is considered among the world's largest private yachts.
CLAIM OF A $554 MILLION RESIDENCE IN MONACO
Reports that the Ukrainian billionaire paid $554 million for a five-story residence in Monaco's Mareterra area also draw attention. The purchase in question is said to be one of the highest-priced residential sales in the world. However, the details of the transaction and the exact sale price require independent verification.
HE CONTINUED SUPPORTING HIS COUNTRY DURING THE WAR
After the Russia-Ukraine war, Akhmetov, who announced that he would not leave his country, continued his activities and humanitarian aid work in Ukraine. Continuing his support for the club as the owner of Shakhtar Donetsk, the billionaire businessman remains one of the most important figures of the Ukrainian representative where Arda Turan works.
