Roman Abramovich’s Career

During his army service, Roman Abramovich entered the business world, first as a street trader and then as a mechanic at a local factory. He then started trading commodities for the Swiss firm Runicom.
In 1988, he was given the opportunity to re-establish his old business. Following that, he traded in timber, sugar, foodstuffs, and other commodities.

In 1992, he was arrested and sentenced to prison for theft of government property.
He then met Berezovsky, with whom he formed Runicom Ltd., an offshore company with five subsidiaries that engaged in resale, produced consumer goods, and acted as intermediaries. They specialised in the sale of oil and petroleum products.

Abramovich and Berezovsky purchased a controlling stake in the large oil company Sibneft in 1995. The transaction took place as part of the contentious loans-for-shares programme, and each partner paid US$100 million for half of the company, which was more than the stake’s stock market value of US$150 million at the time, and quickly grew into billions.
Sibneft was producing $3 billion in oil per year by 2000.
In March 2004, Sibneft agreed to a three-year sponsorship deal with the Russian team CSKA Moscow worth €41.3 million (US$58 million).
He invested in and led a $30 million round of funding in 2015 with businessman OD Kobo, Chairman of PIR Equities.
Doron Myersdorf founded StoreDot, in which Abramovich has invested over $30 million.
He was elected to the State Duma in 1999 as the representative for the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, a poor region in Russia’s Far East. In December 2000, he was elected Chukotka governor, succeeding Aleksandr Nazarov.
He was the governor of Chukotka from 2000 to 2008. He is thought to have invested more than US$1.3 billion (€925 million) in the region.
It was announced in early July 2008 that President Dmitry Medvedev had accepted Abramovich’s request to resign as governor of Chukotka.
In June 2003, he purchased the companies that own Chelsea Football Club in West London. Since the takeover, the club has won 18 major trophies – the UEFA Champions League twice, the UEFA Europa League twice, the UEFA Supercup twice, the Premier League five times, the FA Cup five times (with 2010 providing the club’s first-ever league and FA Cup double), and the League Cup three times, making Chelsea the most successful English trophy-winning team during Abramovich’s ownership, equal with Manchester United (who have also won 16 major trophies in the same time span).
Later, he was accused of buying Chelsea at the request of Vladimir Putin, but he denied the charge. Chelsea F.C. owed Abramovich $2 billion in 2022, according to reports.
During the Russo-Ukrainian War on February 26, 2022, he handed over “stewardship and care” of Chelsea FC to the Chelsea Charitable Foundation.
On March 2, 2022, he issued an official statement confirming that he is selling the club due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
