Aras Iskenderovich Agalarov (بالأذربيجانية: Araz İsgəndər oğlu Ağalarov; بالروسية: Ара́з Исканде́рович Агала́ров; bornثمانية November 1955) is an Azerbaijani-Russian oligarch, developer, public figure and author of Russia: Reflections on the Way to the Market (1998).
السيرة
Born in Baku, Agalarov was educated at the Azerbaijan Polytechnical Institute. He moved with his family to Moscow in 1998, where he co-founded Crocus International alongside his father-in-law, Iosif Yevgenevich, which specializes in trade fairs, where he still makes most of his money.
Agalarov then opened the first Crocus Inter store, which became a retail business that includes malls offering housewares. This moved him into property development, where he built the Crocus City Mall, the largest shopping centre in Moscow. Adjacent to this he then built the largest trade center in Russia on the outskirts of Moscow, Crocus Expo, and has since developed a luxury housing development. Crocus Group built a new campus for the Far Eastern Federal University outside Vladivostok.
In January 2013, Agalarov and his son visited Las Vegas, Nevada, after دونالد ترمپ، the beauty pageant's owner, announced at Miss Universe 2012 that the next competition would be hosted by Agalarov in Moscow. In November 2013, President Vladimir Putin awarded Agalorv the Russian Order of Honor. That month, Agalarov hosted Miss Universe 2013 at his Crocus City Hall.
Herman Gref, who runs Sberbank of Russia, Agalarov and his son hosted a dinner for Trump on the night of the pageant. While in Moscow, Phil Ruffin, who is a partner in Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, and Trump met with the Agalarov and his son at the Ritz-Carlton. Trump then appeared in a music video with Agalorv's son alongside many of the contestants.
Agalarov has served as a liaison between Trump and Putin. According to an interview, they once discussed the construction of a Trump Tower in Russia. Agalarov had also reportedly tried to set up a meeting between the two, but this was canceled due to Putin having to meet the Dutch royal couple at the time. Putin instead sent Trump a fedoskino miniature. Agalarov's son says that after Trump won the United States presidential election in 2016, Trump sent them a handwritten note, saying he does not forget his friends. In July 2017, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted that the publicist for Aras's son Emin had set up a meeting between Russian government lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Trump Jr, Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort.
As of June 2017, he had an estimated net worth of US$1.91 billion, most of which is derived from his real estate ventures. In January 2017, Forbes listed him as the 51st richest Russian.
الحياة الشخصية
Agalarov is married and has two children. His son Emin Agalarov is a businessman and singer/songwriter. Emin was married to Leyla Aliyeva, the daughter of the current President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, until they divorced in May 2015. Agalarov has twin grandsons from his son's marriage.
