She left, slamming the door: the wives of oligarchs who broke up with their husbands with a loud scandal
Rich people can also have troubles and family dramas. At the same time, divorces in billionaire families are accompanied by a real boiling of passions and whole "soap operas".

The divorce that occurred in 2009 in the family of a former senator from Chuvashia was savored in the press and on television. Vladimir Slutsker accused his wife of infidelity and demanded a divorce. Moreover, he turned the children against their mother and took them to an unknown destination.
Olga had to sue her ex-husband for two years to regain custody of the kids. Olga did not stop there and, with the support of experienced lawyers, sued Vladimir for a collection of works of modern art worth about $ 30 million (almost 2 billion rubles), a mansion in London for 60 million pounds (4.8 billion rubles) and several apartments. Now Olga is one of the richest women in Russia.
The divorce of Tatiana Panchenkova and Shalva Chigirinsky was accompanied by an extremely ugly story. At the time of the divorce, the businessman's business was far from brilliant and, having barely broken off the marriage, he went abroad. All the problems and debts fell on the head of the ex-wife, who was forced to deal with them on her own.
After that, numerous trials began related to finding out which of the former spouses owed whom and how much. Tatiana had property claims against Chigirinsky for 354 million rubles, and her ex-husband sued in response for the fact that his wife insisted on having children against him. Later, the billionaire said that he owed nothing to anyone and, on the contrary, demanded $100 million (6.3 billion rubles) from Panchenkova for some stolen valuables.
The Potanins separated in 2013 after more than thirty years of marriage. Natalia wanted to take everything that was due to her by law, and it was a lot. The woman demanded half of the shares of OJSC Norilsk Nickel, a share in Interros International, a large amount of money and part of the family's real estate.
As a result, she got two houses, three impressive plots of land and half of a large Moscow apartment, which she was paid in monetary terms. In 2017, Natalia filed a lawsuit again, wishing to receive another 215 million rubles from her ex-husband on account of a share in jointly acquired property. But the court sided with the oligarch and the woman did not receive the money.
After her divorce from her husband, Elena Rybolovleva could have become the richest woman in the country, but fate decreed otherwise. First, the court ruled that the oligarch should pay the woman 4.5 billion dollars (287 billion rubles). But then Dmitry decided to appeal the court's decision and he succeeded.
Despite this, the woman got a very good sum of $ 604 million (3.8 billion rubles), a collection of works of art and two mansions in Switzerland.
The Mordashovs divorced in 1996, not too successful for the division of property. According to the court's decision, Elena got 8.9 million rubles (non-denominated), a living space in one of the high-rise buildings in Cherepovets and a VAZ-2109 car. The woman was also awarded child support in the amount of 60 thousand rubles.
In 1998, a crisis broke out, which turned millions into a modest 320 dollars (20 thousand rubles). At the same time, after the divorce, Mordashov began to make capital indecently quickly and Elena decided to try her luck again and sue. She tried to challenge the decision of the first court, but it didn't work out.
Everything is clear with billionaires and their wives, but how do the former spouses of ordinary Russian millionaires feel after the divorce? As it turned out, too, in different ways.
