Just 21 years old, Varvara Skoch has an eye-watering fortune of £2bn and is already the target of sanctions from the UK, US and Ukraine over her links to Vladimir Putin.
The blonde beauty is one of 10 children of Russian mining and metals magnate Andrei Skoch. He is a staunchly pro-Putin MP representing the Belgorod region on the border with Ukraine.
Her 57-year-old father is worth over £6 billion. His name was put under sanctions by the US in 2018 for "long ties to Russian organized criminal groups".
His daughter already owns shares in his company, taking root in Russian elite society.
"The Sun" has published photos of her that reveal a life of extraordinary wealth, time spent in extravagant parties or trips for luxury holidays abroad with her partner, the son of Putin's richest minister.
It seems that she has consolidated the relationship with Evgeny Manturov. The 25-year-old is the son of Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, who plays a key role in managing Ukraine's occupied regions. The young couple has often been seen enjoying skiing and skating in Switzerland or vacationing on the beaches of the Seychelles. She was a ballerina since childhood, but has played a key role in the family business.
In March, she and her partner were named "rising stars" for international Latin dance by the Crystal Ball 2023 judges. Vavaria is said to hold a Cypriot and Russian passport and has strong links to London, where she owns a large mansion in St John's Wood.
Vavaria is 1 of only 7 female billionaires in Russia. Previously, there were no more than 3 women on the Russian rich list. "It is interesting that 4 of the 7 female billionaires are new to the ranking.
This is due to the fact that in 2022, due to the pressure of sanctions... Russian billionaires began to reduce their shares in assets and transfer them to relatives (or hired managers) - says "Forbes Russia".
She allegedly holds a significant 15% stake in the company of former Arsenal shareholder and her father's business partner, Alisher Usmanov.
