With a rich dowry: Chaliapin, Arkhipov and other stars who married millionaires

In 2021, Prokhor Chaliapin married a millionaire from Canada, 42-year-old Tatyana Claudia Davis. This union was discussed for more than a day: someone believed in sincere love between the newlyweds, others believed that Prokhor in Tatyana Claudia was attracted only by money. This inspired us to choose stories where stars married rich girls.

Chaliapin is known for his love of older (and wealthier) women, so his marriage to 42-year-old Canadian millionaire Tatiana Claudia Davis surprised few. The newlywed wife of the artist is the owner of a network of law offices specializing in divorce proceedings, who has lived abroad for about 30 years. The wedding was secret but spectacular: the lovers got married in Las Vegas, where they rented the entire club at the fashionable Wynn Hotel for the closing.

Of course, many were interested in the main question: is there love in this couple? There were suggestions that the marriage was convenient: they say that Prokhor only needs money, and Tatyana Claudia needs the position of the wife of a young Russian handsome man.

No matter how it is: Chaliapin’s friend Georgy Kiryanov in an interview immediately denied the conjectures of couch critics. “Tanya has long-term plans: this is her first marriage, she wants to get American citizenship together with Prokhor, because she is sure that he will succeed in Hollywood. She is ready to help him in his career. Everything is serious from her side, “Kiryanov assured. Prokhor’s friend also added that Davis, as a person with extensive experience in divorce cases, immediately secured himself and insisted that her fiance sign the prenuptial agreement. On 150 pages it was written that the artist does not claim his wife’s millions. Unfortunately, this love story ended very quickly: a month after the wedding, Prokhor’s wife died.

A husband and a month later a widower: all about the fleeting and tragic marriage of Prokhor Chaliapin

During the years of the popularity of the Chelsea group, Roman Arkhipov did not suffer from a lack of attention from fans, but he never met the same. This happened a few years later: in 2019, the artist married Alisa, the daughter of the founder of the Karo cinema chain, Leonid Ogorodnikov.

The girl, like her father, tried to create something big and profitable, but her attempts were unsuccessful. Underwear shops, beauty salons and hotels were replaced by the desire to sing. Ogorodnikova is trying to break into show business as a singer and dancer under the pseudonym Eliss Roxx. In fact, the future spouses met like this: Roman worked on Alice’s repertoire. And then, as it went on, it went on…

The couple is still happy together: on September 7, 2021, they celebrated their second wedding anniversary. “He always supports me in some of my endeavors, in business – anything! She is really a real wife, a person who is always there, who inspires,” says Roman. Romance!

A few years ago, few people knew about Igor Bulatov in our country, although even then he was a prominent, status person, because his wife was Tata Karapetyan, the daughter of the founder of the Tashir Samvel Karapetyan group of companies (wealth – 3.3 billion dollars).

Igor and Tata met as teenagers and quickly began a romantic relationship that led to a marriage proposal a few years later. According to rumors, Igor did not particularly like Samvel, but he did not go against the will of his daughter and gave his blessing to the marriage. And after the wedding, he arranged for his son-in-law one of the leading places in Tashir.

In 2014, Igor and Tata became the parents of a son, who was named after his grandfather Samvel. In July 2018, the couple had a daughter, Amelia. The happiness of her birth was soon overshadowed by the fact that Bulatov was preparing to become a father for the third time and, unfortunately, it was not his wife who was pregnant at all. It’s hard to even imagine how Tata felt when she saw photos of her husband and his pregnant girlfriend vacationing in Miami in early 2019. That ended their connection.

According to Tata, Igor simply did not pass the test of power and money. How could you fail this exam? When you’ve been given so much in life. It was the greatest idiocy and selfishness. No matter how paradoxical it may sound, I realized that my finest hour had come. Not in front of followers, not in front of business partners – in front of my parents, brothers, family. I could not do otherwise than with restraint and prudence. It was a huge step forward for me. And for Igor? How can I resist a man’s self-destruction if it is his own choice? – Karapetyan philosophically reasoned years later.

Few people remember that before Regina Todorenko, Vlad Topalov was already married. In the fall of 2015, the artist tied the knot with the owner of an elite studio and the heiress of a million-dollar fortune, Ksenia Danilina. Before the wedding, the young people met only for a few months. By the way, they broke up just as quickly: the marriage broke up after only a year and a half.

The reason for the gap is banal: the spouses could not cope with domestic problems. “My wife and I started cursing constantly. Bytovuha. At some point, there were more negative emotions than good. I even went to a clinic to treat my nerves. Somehow it didn’t hold. We flew to rest, we rested well, but something was wrong. And we did not have children, and for some reason it did not work out … And I thought: well, she is young, her whole life is ahead of us, there are no children, why suffer? Topalov shared in an interview. In addition, Vlad admitted that his mother-in-law did not like him. And Ksenia, in turn, did not understand the peculiarities of her husband’s work: she often asked to go with him to social events, while the artist ran there for three minutes – to take a picture and go home.

Today, Vlad is happily married to Regina Todorenko, with whom his views on life completely coincide.

In the 1990s, according to Vlad Stashevsky, millions of women in our country went crazy. But he, a 23-year-old handsome man from oriental fairy tales, was married to Olga Aleshina, the daughter of Luzhniki CEO Vladimir Alyoshin. The status of a millionaire was immediately added to Vlad’s star status. It is said that the singer’s producer Yuri Aizenshpis contributed to this marriage, because he was afraid that otherwise his ward would go down the wrong path. And Vlad indeed went a different way, but still not the same: the artist refused to cooperate with the producer, hoping that the money of the Aleshin family would help him remain a popular artist. But everything went completely wrong and finally Stashevsky disappeared from the radar.

At the same time, his marriage also collapsed: they say that the artist was simply expelled from the family. As Olga admitted years later, it was impossible to stay on good terms with her ex-husband. In addition, Vlad severed all ties not only with his ex-wife, but also with his son Daniel from this marriage. In December 2020, father and son met for the first time after 20 years of separation.
