Sofia was born in Russia and moved to England in 2003 with her parents and elder siblings, Anna and Arkadiy. The third daughter of businessman, investor, politician, and Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich has six siblings and half-siblings from her father’s various marriages.
Sofia is incredibly close to her mother, Irina, Roman’s second wife. The one-time air hostess was married to Roman Abramovich for almost 16 years.
Sofia has four siblings Anna, 30, Arkadiy, 28, Arina, 21, and Ilya, 19. The Russian citizen was born with a golden spoon and has lived a life of luxury since her first cry. Along with her siblings, Sofia attended the $31,000-a-year Godolphin and Latymer private school in West London.
Being children of the richest man in Israel and among the top wealthy Russians, the Abramovich children lived life with tight security. It was not a casual walk to school with pals.
Sofia and her siblings took a helicopter flight into a Battersea heliport, where a chauffeur-driven car awaited them. A cluster of bodyguards kept her company on the five-mile journey to school.
Sofia’s mother confirmed in a very rare interview: “My life with Roman was not the fairytale the papers reported. For my security and our children, he hired a group of bodyguards from a protection agency. We changed mobile phone numbers once a week so no one could trace our whereabouts.”
She continued, “We were afraid of kidnapping attempts, yet we could not hide our children and not show them real life. So we went to theatres and museums with a crowd of bodyguards. Each year it got harder.”
After Sofia’s high profile divorce in 2007 (a much-talked-about $300 million settlement), she shuttled between London and the family’s 425-acre Fyning Hill Estate in Petersfield, West Sussex, given to Irina as part of her divorce settlement.
Sofia took a business management course at Royal Holloway in Egham, Surrey. Certain things remain unchanged, like the chauffeur-driven, bulletproof Range Rovers.
The daughter of the billionaire oligarch shuttles between two mansions, one in London and a 425-acre, $24 million estate in West Sussex. While her British visa status is unknown she has lived and thrived in London since 2003. The Swinging City features regularly on her Instagram feed.
Sofia also posted glamorous pictures of herself with friends on Instagram as they enjoyed the summer ball at Royal Holloway University, London. Sofia also shares breathtaking photos of her stunning abode in West Sussex making her the most interesting personality of the Russian billionaire’s brood.
Living life under constant scrutiny is not easy. Especially when you’re not exactly a celebrity, you still have to bear the burden of it anyway due to being from a well-known family. Sofia found solace in her horses and dogs.
The equestrian’s idea of heaven is riding her horses. Sofia regularly posts pictures on social media posing with her horses at her own stables. This business graduate truly cherishes her time in her horses’ company from riding, posing, and snuggling the beautiful beasts.
Sofia was also riding for Russia at the Longines Global Champions Tour and Monaco events. Her almost 70K followers are well-acquainted with her horses Dora, Billy Fraulein, Bugsy, Percy, Princess Dora, Zara, Zanzibar, and adorable pony Merlin, to name a few.
What’s the best part of being incredibly prosperous? Parties! Sofia may not be bragging about her affluent life on social media, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t having her share of fun. For her 18th birthday, the milestone was celebrated lavishly- a $40,000 extravaganza fit for an heiress.
The bash included chartering the entire snazzy ‘Under The Bridge’ nightclub, inviting no less than 500 friends, and partying the night away to the tunes of Scouting For Girls and McBusted. Grand parties have been a constant in Sofia’s life.
For New Year in 2016, Sofia, her mother, and younger siblings opted for a more serene time at their usual haunt, the One & Only Reethi Rah luxury resort in the Maldives. For those unaware, the resort is the zenith of tropical luxury that would’ve easily set them back by at least a whopping $261,000.
Sofia, the ambassador for Just World International, which tackles child poverty, is a woman of substance who has faced her share of challenges. Her body image issues were never hidden, with Sofia addressing them openly.
She has never sugar-coated her reality, from talking about body positivity to sharing her own journey willingly.
This sweet 27-year old daughter of Chelsea F.C. owner Roman Abramovich has experienced the best things money can buy.Her social media account showcases her love of horses, champagne, and exotic holidays.
From hopping over to the family pad in Antibes (by private jet, naturally), drinking the finest champagne, or spending $250,000 on a New Year’s break with her celebrity friends, the Beckhams, a great time has never eluded Sofia Abramovich.
Talking of exotic holidays, Sofia has already enjoyed several places from tropical to temperate, more than an average Joe enjoys in a lifetime. Sofia does it all, from posing on opulent yachts to exploring hidden gems of nature in new locations.
