One of the most pretentious and extravagant representatives of Russian business, without a doubt, Rustam Tariko is the founder of Russian Standard Bank.

But he began his long path to success from afar - with the tourism business. And later he became the famous “vodka king”, popular far beyond the borders of Russia. But the biography of this man testifies: in his life there were not only ups, but also repeated downs. Including in times of financial prosperity and widespread fame. So where did it all begin?

According to Wikipedia, Rustam Vasilyevich was born in Menzelinsk, in the Republic of Tatarstan. According to the recollections of his peers and teachers, the future billionaire was always an independent child and took an active part in the life of the school. With his friends, he organized a musical ensemble, in which he was both a soloist and a guitarist. Tariko loved to sing; he spent almost the entire graduation party of his class at the microphone.

The second time he tried, he managed to enter the prestigious Institute of Transport Engineers in Moscow (MIIT). And almost immediately he began looking for ways to earn extra money. When Rustam’s mother sent him money, according to the recollections of his friends, he always sent it back and asked him never to do that again. At the age of 18, the future businessman began working at the Business Tour travel agency.

It was there that he managed to earn his first money, and considerable money at that. The travel agency belonged to the Italian Emanuella Carboncini and was engaged in settling her fellow businessmen into Moscow hotels. But in those years it was necessary to act through Intourist, which took a lot of time and money. And then Emanuella invited Tariko to carry out an important “task” - to provide her agency with free access to the numbers.

The man, who naturally had an entrepreneurial spirit, coped with this task without difficulty. He secured a meeting with the director of the Rossiya Hotel, offering to accommodate foreigners there without the participation of Intourist. The deal went through, and he received a fabulous fee for those times - 5 thousand dollars.

  • the beginning of supplies of Italian products to the Russian market in the early 1990s (Ferrero SpA, Kinder Surprise);
  • registration of Roust Inc. in 1992 and obtaining exclusive rights to supply Martini and Johnny Walker products;
  • the beginning of exclusive supplies of Bailey’s, Smirnoff, Metaxa alcohol in 1998;
  • supplies of Chinzano alcoholic products in 2002;
  • opening of our own vodka distillery in St. Petersburg in 2006.

The dizzying success inspired the entrepreneur, and he realized that it was time to develop a new line of business. Moreover, he already had his own bank, because in 1999 he acquired the small institution “Agrooptbank”. Later it was renamed, receiving the well-known name “Russian Standard”. And Tariko began to engage in something hitherto unprecedented for the country - distributing retail loans.

A new standard in the lending market

In the early 2000s, an unusual product appeared on the Russian bank loan market - express loans without collateral or guarantors. The only drawback of “easy money” was excessively high interest rates (over 40% per annum). Mr. Tariko invested considerable funds in the development of a new line of business:

  • 100 thousand dollars - to purchase a license and bring the balance sheet to zero;
  • $1 million – to develop a strategy and business plan;
  • $20 million – to issue the first loans to clients.

The business plan developed by the international consulting company McKinsey assumed that the credit institution would reach the break-even point in 2003, but this happened 2 years earlier. Every year the business of the credit and financial organization doubled. Already in 2004, the company created by Rustam Vasilyevich took 2nd place in terms of consumer lending in the country. In the same year, the businessman valued his brainchild at an amount equal to $1 billion.

However, not everything was so rosy. Already 5 years after the start of the bank’s activities, a scandal broke out: the 23% per annum specified in the agreement for the use of borrowed funds was a fraud. Clients were forced to pay multiple fees and constantly accrued interest. As it turned out later, the agreement contained footnotes in small print, which spoke of the issuance of a bank card on which interest would “drip”. And a specific interest rate, expressed in at least some numerical value, did not appear in the text of the document. But the case of hidden commissions and inflated interest rates did not come to court, because each client had a voluntarily signed agreement in his hands, which means there could be no claims against the bank.

By 2007, the amount of hidden interest began to be of interest not only to clients, but also to the Central Bank, Rospotrebnadzor and the FAS. According to information released by representatives of the credit institution, the interest rate on loans for individuals was 79.2%, and on consumer loans - over 44%. The shocking figures had a simple explanation: the percentage of non-performing loans was too high.

But the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation was not satisfied with this explanation, and the founder of the organization was invited for a serious conversation. After this event, it was decided to abandon hidden commissions, as well as to reduce rates. As a result of this “noble” and decisive step, the credit institution suffered losses reaching $200 million. After the global financial crisis, the bank's losses became even greater - 4.5 billion rubles. But an optimistic businessman turned the situation in the right direction, and after just a year, his organization increased profits by 2 billion, and then became the 16th bank in the country in terms of profit (according to the Kommersant-Dengi publication).

Speaking about the failures that overtook the risky businessman every now and then, it is worth mentioning the failed attempt of “Standard” to capture the luxury audience. In 2005, a bank with a dubious reputation, which issued loans primarily to low-income people, suddenly received exclusive rights to issue American Express cards.

The franchise cost about 40 thousand dollars. But soon, inspired by success, Tariko met a lot of protests from most banks that worked with AmEx cards, who refused to transfer data about their VIP clients to such an institution. Then Standard destroyed its relationship with the Russian system operator, USC.

Later, Rustam Vasilyevich decided to use the proven scheme - to distribute American Express cards in shopping centers to almost everyone. And then the unheard of happened: the banking institution began distributing electronic messages with offers to receive “plastic”, which is positioned all over the world as a luxury credit product. There was no limit to the indignation of clients - owners of elite cards - and instead of an increase in the number of holders, their number sharply decreased and amounted to less than 1% of the Russian market.

Rustam Tariko and his women

He was not officially married; he has three children from two common-law wives. The businessman’s first wife, Tatyana Osipova, gave birth to twins Anya and Eva in 2003. And soon after the birth, the relationship between the spouses went wrong.

He met his current wife at the Miss Russia beauty contest, after winning the regional Miss Mordovia 2004 contest. She failed to win the honorary title, which cannot be said about the heart of a businessman. Tariko and Alena Gavrilova still live together, and in 2007 they had a son.

A rare species of orchid is named in honor of the millionaire’s beloved, but the point here is not the unearthly beauty of the girl, but the generosity of her husband. At Natalia Vodianova’s charity auction “Ball of Love”, he donated 320 thousand euros for this lot - the name of a flower discovered by scientists at the University of London.

The banker is known for his expensive purchases:

  • the Polish company CEDC is the largest manufacturer of vodka in our country;
  • Sardinian villa Minerva, purchased from the wife of Silvio Berlusconi for 15 million euros;
  • villa in Miami Beach, purchased for $25.5 million.

Photos of his resort residences amaze with their scope and luxury. But luxury real estate purchases were made back in the 2010s, but the news for 2015 does not seem so encouraging.

Russian businessman, dollar billionaire and owner of the Russian Standard group of companies.

Today, the Russian Standard holding is engaged in the production and distribution of alcohol, and also provides banking and insurance services.

"Biography"

Life of a businessman before Russian Standard

Rustam Tariko was born in the small town of Menzelinsk on the territory of Tatarstan. He became independent early and began earning his first money while still in school, playing with a musical ensemble at city events.

After graduating from school at the age of 17, he went to go to university in Moscow - he entered the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers to become an economist. While studying, I worked part-time to support myself and rent an apartment. I didn’t want to take money from my mother.

Since his senior year, he began to show his entrepreneurial talent in different companies. He established contacts with Moscow hotels for the travel agency Business Tour, for which he received his first truly large fee - 5 thousand dollars. He suggested that the Ferrero chocolate company sell Kinder Surprise eggs in regular stores, which turned out to be a great idea. Thanks to this, I got into the Ferrero staff and went to study in Luxembourg.

The Johnnie Walker manufacturer was forced to sell its distilleries after British competition authorities refused to approve Diageo's acquisition of Scottish company Whyte & Mackay, as by acquiring this asset Diageo would exceed the permissible threshold of its share of the UK market.

Tatspirtprom will close four of 11 plants

“In one night, Rustam Tariko spends from 100,000 pounds sterling and eats the best beluga, pancakes and borscht”

"Excuse me. This is the Prime Minister." Rustam Tariko picks up the phone in his Moscow office and launches a tirade against the illegal policies of protectionism in the Russian republics. After a few minutes of conversation, he grins and hangs up. “It’s decided. They wanted to ban me from selling my vodka in Tatarstan. Now I can". What's the price? “I agreed to build some schools.” “Vodka for desks” is an interesting deal with the Prime Minister! Tariko doesn't do his business by the book. And that's exactly how he likes it. He spent years making the risky, disorderly system of the Russian economy work for him. The results are revolutionary. The 44-year-old son of a Communist Party ideologist who grew up proudly wearing the uniform of a pioneer has become Russia's most successful billionaire businessman. It has a dominant position in the luxury drinks market and created the first Russian consumer brands known throughout the world. Its Russian Standard and Empire vodkas have a 67% share of the domestic premium vodka market and sell for £20 a bottle in Europe and America.

Rustam Tariko will not take away the house from David Beckham

For seven years in a row, Hollywood star George Clooney went on vacation to his favorite villa Oleandra, located on the shores of Italian Lake Como. Having bought the mansion in 2002, George invested a lot of effort and money into it. But now he intends to part with the house dear to his heart, which has long ceased to be an oasis of calm for the actor. Clooney is pretty fed up with the paparazzi and tourists who stand around the villa day and night. In addition, his current girlfriend, Italian Elizabeta Canalis, prefers to relax not on the lake, but on the sea. Recently, George put up luxury real estate for sale. According to some information, there are now two main buyers vying for the house - Clooney's close friend David Beckham and... the Russian vodka king Rustam Tariko.

Rustam Tariko ends the vodka war

The Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of Russia (SAC RF) satisfied the supervisory complaint of Russian Standard Vodka LLC by Rustam Tariko against the decision of the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region in the claim against JSC LIVIZ by Alexander Sabadash. The case has been sent back for retrial. In this lawsuit, Russian Standard demanded that the purchase of 10% of its shares from the offshore Astromex Ltd. by the St. Petersburg distillery for 83 million rubles be declared invalid. The balance of power in the bankruptcy case of LIVIZ CJSC, which has been going through arbitration since March 2008, depends on the cancellation or recognition of this transaction. According to experts, if Astromex leaves the game, which is now very likely, control over the bankruptcy procedure may go to Rustam Tariko .

Childhood

Mom, Rosa Nazipovna, was a member of the district party committee. When he was one year old, his parents divorced, and his mother raised her son on her own. Now she lives in Italy and is the standard of “warmth and care” for her son.

Rustam began to make a living by singing - being a soloist in an ensemble, he received money for performing at holidays.

Education

He studied at the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers, where he entered upon arrival in the capital and graduated in 1989. In addition to his native Tatar, he speaks Russian, English and Italian.

Labor activity and own business

He began building his career in 1988 at the travel agency Business Tour. In almost 3 years, he rose from an ordinary travel agency to the position of consultant in the Italian companies Ferrero and Martini & Rossi, while studying at the university.

He started his own business in 1992 with the founding of the company ROUST Inc., which was engaged in the sale of alcoholic products of the Martini, Smirnoff and Johnie Walker brands.

In 1998, he founded the Russian Standard company, which has become a large corporation and today includes a number of companies: Russian Standard Vodka, Russian Standard Bank (in 1999 he bought Agrooptbank, renamed it " Russian Standard”, the first in Russia to engage in consumer lending) and “Russian Standard Insurance”. In 2000, he graduated from a business school in France as chairman of the board of directors of Russian Standard Bank, which by 2001 had become break-even, and by the end of 2004 it was firmly in second place in consumer lending after Sberbank.

He is considered one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Russia and is a laureate of the Business Style Award, which is awarded to an entrepreneur who has successfully developed and practiced his own effective business style.

Hobbies

He became the first in Russia to buy a personal Boeing. He manages it exclusively independently. Moreover, he owns the fastest boat in the world, “Terrible,” whose speed reaches 90 miles per hour or 144 kilometers per hour. “Affordable luxury for everyone” is the businessman’s favorite phrase on his profile on one of the social networks.

He also enjoys skiing, tennis, and loves traveling and yachts. One of his favorite places is the island of Sardinia, where Rustam has his own mansion.

Family status

The banker is not officially married, but he often appears in public with his companions. At the same time, the entrepreneur has three children: daughters, twins Eva and Anna, were born in 2003, and son Rustam was born in 2007.

For me to like a woman, she must combine beauty, intelligence, and energy. But it is enough for a man to have one quality - intelligence.

The owner of the Russian Standard holding, Rustam Tariko, and his common-law wife, from whom undeclared jewelry was seized for examination at customs at Sheremetyevo Airport, are unlikely to become defendants in a criminal case and may get away with a fine, newspapers reported on Friday, citing customs officials and experts.

In 1999, Tariko bought Agrooptbank, renamed it “Russian Standard”, and engaged in consumer lending.

In 2000 he graduated from the French business school INSEAD Executive School.

In 2002, Bacardi-Martini, with which Tariko's business began, terminated the contract with Rust, and the company lost 50% of its turnover. After this, Tariko entered into an agreement with Gruppo Campari for the distribution of Cinzano, and in 2005 he signed a distribution agreement with Remy Cointreau.

In March 2005, Diageo terminated the agreement with Tariko and created a joint venture with the A1 company (a subsidiary of Alfa Group), which received exclusive rights to the brands Johnnie Walker, Bailey's, J&B, Captain Morgan. Thus, Tariko's alcohol business lost 70% of its turnover. At the same time, the St. Petersburg distillery Liviz, where Russian Standard until recently bottled its vodka, appealed to Rospatent with a demand to cancel the Russian Standard trademark. According to Tariko, this was associated with his company's intention to transfer the production of its vodka from Liviz to its own plant in St. Petersburg.

In December 2006, Tariko bought the Internet domains Vodka.com and Vodka.ru for the international promotion of vodka and the Russian Standard brand. The first was purchased from the American company Nett Corp. (through the mediation of broker Sedo.com, part of the German group United Internet AG) for $3 million, the second from Artemy Lebedev for $50 thousand.
