He very quickly climbed the corporate ladder and took the post of Deputy General Director. Kerimov started his business in 1999, when he very successfully acquired shares in NTK Nafta-Moscow.

Firuza's wife
Karimov met his wife Firuza Khanbalaeva while still studying. It was thanks to her father that the current oligarch began his successful career. Firuza's father was a prominent party chief at that time, and his father-in-law took care of Suleiman's quick advancement up the career ladder at the factory, from which the billionaire began his career.
Firuza is a real oriental woman endowed with wisdom and patience. She dedicated her life to family and raising children. But she can hardly be called a housewife. Firuza is the founder of CJSC FC Capital. This company owns 99% of the shares of ZAO Nafta-Moscow.
Kerimov's wife is actively involved in charity work. She is the head of the "Territory of Good" charitable foundation. Firuza received gratitude for this activity from the hands of the President of the Russian Federation.
The Kerimovs are also involved in joint charitable projects. They took part in the reconstruction of several schools in Dagestan, and also support some orphanages on an ongoing basis. Firuza and Suleiman have repeatedly received awards from the local authorities in recognition of their kindness and generosity.
The wife gave the businessman three children. In 1990, the eldest daughter Gulnara was born in the family. In 1995, the son of Abusaid was born, and in 2003 their youngest daughter Aminat was born. The daughters Firuza and Suleiman were brought up in accordance with oriental traditions. Gulnara has already married a wealthy Dagestani. Son Abusaid is on the board of directors of one of his father's companies and is the owner of Cinema Park LLC. All the children of the Kerimovs received an excellent education, good upbringing.
Side novels
Despite a long marriage and the presence of three children, Suleiman Kerimov had several high-profile novels on the side. For several years he had a romantic relationship with Anastasia Volochkova. The billionaire supported her financially and showered her with gifts.
Kerimov had an affair with the popular singer Natalia Vetlitskaya. When they started dating, there was a crisis in Natalia's work. She did not sing new songs, performed very little. Suleiman helped her record several successful music videos and invested a lot of money in her career. After parting, he presented Natalia with luxury real estate. Vetlitskaya gave birth to a daughter, Ulyana, during the period of meetings with Kerimov, so the press wrote that this girl was the illegitimate child of a businessman.
Firuza Kerimova never spoke out about her husband's novels on the side. She basically does not comment on this. But people close to this family in one of the interviews admitted that the news of her husband's relationship with TV presenter Tina Kandelaki was a big blow for the official wife of Kerimov. Suleiman had a serious accident while in France. It was surprising that at the time of the disaster, Tina was next to him.
Kerimov also had a long-term relationship with Katya Gomiashvili and a fleeting romance with Olesya Sudzilovskaya. Despite the large number of women in his life, he still has not divorced his only official wife. Firuza, like many Eastern women, accepts this state of affairs and considers polygamy acceptable for a man.
When difficult times came in Suleiman's life, connected with the arrest in France and the loss of a significant part of the assets, his wife continued to support and help. This is the best proof of her sincere and deep feelings.
