About Vagit Alekperov

A former Caspian Sea oil rig worker, Vagit Alekperov became a deputy minister overseeing the oil industry in the Soviet Union.

In 1991 he took three large ministry-controlled oil fields and set up Lukoil, now Russia's largest independent oil company.

Lukoil, of which he owns about 30%, was hit by U.S. sanctions in September 2014.

Alekperov stepped down as the president of Lukoil in April 2022, a few days after being sanctioned by the U.K.

Alekperov transferred his ownership in Dutch shipyard Heesen Yachts, where his 230-foot yacht Galactica Super Nova was built, to a dutch foundation in 2022.
