Yusuf Alekperov is one of the brightest representatives of the Russian golden youth, the only son of the founder of the oil company Lukoil. In narrow circles, he is known as a connoisseur of expensive cars. Yusuf has repeatedly topped the list of the richest heirs according to Forbes.
Biography: early years
Yusuf Vagitovich Alekperov was born on June 20, 1990 in Moscow. He is of mixed blood: his father is Azerbaijani, and his mother is Russian. By the time of Yusuf's birth, his father was Deputy Minister of the USSR Oil and Gas Industry. Two years later, he became one of the co-founders of the Lukoil company. To this day, he is its permanent CEO.
The Alekperov family has always lived in abundance. Yusuf had everything that most of his peers could only dream of. Despite the material benefits, the father raised his son in severity, according to Azerbaijani traditions. Growing up, Yusuf was not seen in any scandal, unlike some other representatives of the golden youth of Russia. He tries not to advertise his life. On the net you can find only amateur photographs of Yusuf, and even then there are not so many of them.
Career
In 2007, Alekperov, on the advice of his father, entered the Russian University of Oil and Gas. After graduating with a diploma of an engineer for the development and operation of "black gold" deposits, Yusuf went to Western Siberia for practical knowledge. According to rumors, he went to Kogalym on the orders of his father. At one time, he made a good career in this Siberian city. Yusuf first worked as a production operator, and later became a process engineer at one of the oil fields that belonged to Lukoil.
Three years later, Alekperov switched to diamond mining. He stated this from his page in one of the social networks. However, he quickly got bored with this occupation. In 2017, it became known that Yusuf again changed his field of activity. He became involved in the production of energy drinks, which he distributed mainly through the shops of Lukoil filling complexes. Alekperov does not cover the profitability of this business.
It is known that Yusuf owns a controlling stake in the VPT company, which is engaged in the transportation of oil products by rail. Alekperov is listed as one of the co-owners of Lukavto LLC, an official Mercedes-Benz dealer in Russia. In recent years, Yusuf has been investing in industry.
It is also known that the father will inherit his stake in Lukoil to his son. However, he will not be able to manage the companies, including selling his shares to anyone. The father explained this decision by the fact that Yusuf is completely unsuitable for the role of a manager.
Personal life
Yusuf Alekperov is married. He carefully hides detailed information about his spouse. It is known that his chosen one is a certain Alisa Kolesnikova. There is also no information about the wedding. According to rumors, the wedding took place in the spring of 2016.
