Yana Gref is the second wife of German Gref, president of Sberbank of Russia. Many consider her to be a real model of the wife of a prominent public figure, a major businessman, a former politician. However, there is a lot of conflicting information about the couple in the media, which can be taken on faith or questioned.
Childhood and youth
The early years of Yana Gref (nee Golovina) are shrouded in mystery. Like many celebrities, she prefers not to advertise boring details about her family, friends, age. However, the date of birth of Yana Vladimirovna is known - 1975.
According to some sources, the girl was born in Gelendzhik, in the family of workers of one of the local boarding houses. According to other sources, the birthplace of Yana is Estonia, the scope of the family's activities is shrouded in mystery. Surprisingly, there are practically no revelations in the media from childhood friends, classmates and other people who can shed light on these discrepancies in the biography.
After graduating from school, the girl entered the university and was educated as an economist. This information was obtained from Yana herself; the name of the educational institution remains unknown. The work in the specialty of a novice economist was not fascinating. After several years of career experiments, the girl decided to pay attention to her personal life and got married.
The first spouse of Yana Vladimirovna was a certain Mr. Glumov. The occupation, age and status of this person were not specified. Given that the press practically does not mention him, Yana's first husband does not like publicity. The marriage was unsuccessful, the couple quickly parted. There was a son, whom the woman raised alone.
Wedding and family life
The fateful acquaintance with German Oskarovich Gref took place at the beginning of the two thousandth. The circumstances of the meeting are shrouded in mystery. Yana does not advertise the exact time of her acquaintance either, but the date of the luxurious wedding is known. In May 2004, the celebration amazed the residents of St. Petersburg and the surrounding area with an unprecedented, truly tsarist scale.
First of all, the audience noted the place chosen for the ceremony - the throne room of Petrodvorets. Dozens of VIPs gathered here, after a magnificent registration in the park a grandiose fireworks were arranged. Naturally, the event was private, ordinary tourists wishing to visit Petrodvorets on this day were left with nothing.
After registration, the couple took a ride through the park in a luxuriously decorated carriage, and then together with the guests went to St. Petersburg on a "presidential" boat (it was this ship that was carried by V. V. Putin during the celebration of the city's three hundredth anniversary). The banquet took place in a closed residence and lasted until the morning.
The fairy tale presented by G. Gref to his fiancee caused a big scandal in government circles. In 2004, German Oskarovich held the post of Minister of Economic Development and many asked the question: what funds were used to organize Christmas and why it was held in Peterhof, a historical reserve. The question was hushed up, but the unpleasant aftertaste slightly spoiled the gorgeous wedding. Snide journalists from time to time think of him during interviews, causing the anger of the participants in the story.
Yana Gref's family life is quite prosperous. 2 years after the wedding, the couple had the eldest daughter, in 2008 the youngest was born. Today they go to the school created by their mother. By the way, Gref's grandson (the child of Oleg's son, who was born in his first marriage) also attends this educational institution.
Own business
Yana had several attempts to make money. She really liked the interior design, and her friends also aroused interest in her projects. After decorating her own apartment, the woman decided to take this business seriously and founded her own interior studio. The first customers were friends, but after some completed projects, the business stopped. There were no people who wanted to create an exclusive interior for a lot of money, after a while the business faded, and Yana switched to a new promising direction: a private gymnasium.
The reason for the opening of the educational institution was the birth of children who needed an appropriate education. In 2013, under the leadership of Yana Gref, the Khoroshevskaya progymnasium was opened, which includes a kindergarten and a school with primary, middle and senior classes. Children from 3 to 18 years old are accepted here. The motto of the institution is the comprehensive development of students, the education of useful skills, the creation of a comfortable environment for gaining knowledge and personal development. According to Yana, ordinary schools pay attention only to the educational process, leaving out of brackets the state of mind of the student, not motivating him for further advancement.
There are many studios and sports sections in the gymnasium, a lot of attention is paid to sports and the English language. Children are fed in their own dining room, and there is a vegetarian and gluen-free menu. Tuition is paid, about 50,000 rubles per course, and for additional classes a separate fee is provided. Nevertheless, there are many who want to get an education at a prestigious school. Yana herself considers the business not only profitable and promising, but also very interesting. Her own daughters enjoy learning; this is a completely reliable guarantee of quality.
Yana Gref does not consider herself a public person. She is not too fond of social events, preferring to devote time to her family. Among the interests of music, books, theater - the classic set of the wife of a major businessman and politician.
