Russian Billionaire Kerimov Critical After Crash (Update1)

By Rudy Ruitenberg and Todd Prince

Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Russian billionaire and parliamentarian Suleiman Kerimov was hospitalized in critical condition at Marseille's major burns center after his Ferrari crashed and burst into flames in Nice on the French Riviera.

Kerimov, 40, was transported by helicopter to the Centre Regional des Grands Brules in Marseille, where he arrived yesterday evening, after his condition was stabilized in Nice, said Denis Burgarella, a spokesman for Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Marseille.

Kerimov, worth $7.1 billion according to Forbes magazine, crashed his Ferrari Enzo around 3:30 p.m. yesterday on the Promenade des Anglais, the boulevard that runs along the Nice shoreline, according to a spokesman for the Police Nationale who declined to be identified according to regulations. The sports car caught fire and Kerimov was ``seriously injured,'' according to the spokesman.

Kerimov ranked No. 72 in Forbes magazine's annual survey of the world's richest people published in March. His wealth derives from stakes in OAO Gazprom, Russia's natural-gas export monopoly, and OAO Sberbank, eastern Europe's largest bank. He also owns OAO MNPO Polymetal, Russia's biggest silver miner.

The native of Dagestan, a republic in Russia's Caucasus region, moved into the banking business following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Kerimov went from banking to buying assets in aviation to oil trading, according to Forbes. The future billionaire also made money through corporate raids, including the takeover of AvtoBank, a lender, and Razvitiye, a real estate developer, the magazine said.

Sberbank, Baturina

Many businessmen that have had dealings with Kerimov, ``are afraid to talk about him, limiting themselves to diplomatic expressions,'' Forbes said in June. Kerimov has benefited from close relations with Yelena Baturina, the billionaire wife of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, and Sberbank, which lent him $3.2 billion to buy Gazprom and Sberbank shares, the magazine said.

He hired Merrill Lynch & Co. to make his investment company OAO GNK Nafta Moskva one of the world's top private-equity firms, the London-based Times newspaper reported in August. Kerimov this summer hired Allen Vine, the former head of Merrill Lynch's Moscow office, to chair his company.

Kerimov has been a member of the Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, since 1999 as a member of the Liberal Democratic party headed by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a nationalist known for his controversial behavior.

Prognosis

``He is a visible, strong individual who has played an important role for the party,'' said Alexei Mitrofanov, a parliamentarian and member of the party's executive council, said in a telephone interview in Moscow today.

A female passenger in the black Ferrari was also injured, Agence France-Presse reported, citing police.

Hospital spokesman Burgarella declined to comment on Kerimov's survival chances, saying a patient must be in a stable condition for 48 hours for an assessment.

I should add that the french media are calling him a "cultural attache".

Your links do not open...

It's no secret that Abramovitsch is a personal friend of Putin...

It's also no secret that Berezovsky was a former friend of Putin (and helped him to become in power)....but no longer.

It's busy in London and Moscow

I love when corruption allegations are thrown against billionaires (aren't all of them the thieving and corrupted bunch) and when they start killing each other. More to come, please, so we can see more clear what is and how capitalism works

Right, let's go back to communism.....

The fact that a bunch of Russian billionaires (who stole their money with shrewd support of the men in power at the Kremlin) are accusing and killing each other, under the umbrella of Mr. Putin, doesn't mean that capitalism is a bad system.

If it was, Thailand would be quite empty with Farang.

what am I doing here? Well, when you post things about my future employers ...

no string puilling going on though, just threads... HEHEHEh... alright, I'll leave you guys to it and bugger off back to my usual forums.

My parting note, shall be my real answer. I'd been looking to post the pic of the ferrarri split in two somewhere, cos I saw it that day in Nice, and it was all over the news, and it's a cool car.

Today I finally got round to finding the pic online, and when I came to the boards this afternoon, your post was just new!

So...

1. Have a look on decent European/US billionaires for a new job at Mr. Forbes' website...there are a few left you know...

Why don't you write a letter to Mr. Oliver 'Daddy' Warbucks ?:

2. The Ferrarri ...hmmm it's not so cool anymore -split in 2 pieces-

3. When someone is a bl__dy billionaire, what the heck are you doing in a Ferrarri; you should be sipping Dom Perignon in the backseat with a gorgeous blonde on your lap......NOT driving an ordinary Ferrarri..., showing off.....

hmmmm....... those Russians might have money, but certainly no class and style !
