Status and position in the Forbes ranking

Today, his business is a successfully developing AZIMUT hotel chain, investments in the IT sector, and development projects. But behind the screen of a successful investor, hotelier and rentier, the essence of a businessman from the "dashing nineties" is well hidden, whose name is associated with raiding and "gray schemes" for business takeovers.

  • FULL NAME: Alexander Ilyich Klyachin.

"Ahead of the future, in harmony with the present" is the motto on the main page of the website of Alexander Klyachin's development company KR Properties. Indeed, the businessman has always confidently looked ahead, opening the veil of the future, but remembers the past without much desire.

Alexander Klyachin was never deceived by his instincts, and he could reorient his activities in time, direct his business to a new, more profitable track. He knew when to stop and where to invest. He did not claim super-profitable energy market segments, but he achieved incredible success in his activities.

The billionaire, in full agreement with the present and with himself, owns:

  • the AZIMUT hotel chain, which are located not only in various parts of Russia, but also in Europe;

    Reference! AZIMUT is the first Russian hotel brand to enter the European market.

  • the Metropol Hotel, located directly at Red Square, and other hotels in the capital;
  • development company KR Properties, engaged in commercial and residential real estate in Moscow and ranked 9th in the 2017 “Kings of Russian Real Estate” rating;
  • by Comiten, R-Style system integrator and popular startup Habidatum International.

In addition, the businessman also conducts philanthropic activities: he personally founded the Khamovniki Social Research Support Fund, and provides assistance to the Children's Hearts fund.

A successful and far-sighted entrepreneur, developer, hotelier, philanthropist, father of two children - but how colorful is the portrait of a businessman who recently changed his raider's tracksuit to a tuxedo with a bow tie.

Raider seizures, cooperation with private security companies of dubious reputation, gang wars, gray schemes for squeezing assets - all this is about our hero. Therefore, the business community was not surprised by the news about Klyachin's plans to go into the gambling business, and at the international level. Whether he will resort to the usual tough actions in this case, or whether he really plans to develop a solid business, in which, according to preliminary estimates, he will have to invest 300 million euros, time will tell. But this time, his partners will not be start-up entrepreneurs and directors of state farms, from whom business and land were “wrung out”, but a person well known in the gambling business - (the owner of the Absolut group), as well as the American company Warner Gaming.

However, the history of Alexander Klyachin's business is annually overgrown with new facts related to the expansion of the businessman's possessions and capital, which is confirmed by Forbes estimates. For the first time, our hero got into the rating of "200 richest businessmen of Russia" in 2014, where he took 138th place. And already in 2017, he not only climbed the 71st "step of the domestic oligarchic ladder" with a capital of $ 1.3 billion, but also entered the list of the global rating of billionaires, where he occupies the 1567th line.

Clearly, changes in Klyachin's capital are displayed on the chart.

The first "secrets" of citizen Klyachin

The origins of many outstanding people's success are traced back to their origins or luck, hardships faced in childhood and adolescence, or extraordinary abilities. But as for the businessman Alexander Klyachin, his brief biography before the start of active raider voyages is a solid dark spot.

In all likelihood, a metropolitan boy who was born in May 1967 grew up in a prosperous family. At the end of school, Sasha chose one of the most prestigious universities in the capital, Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov.

By the way, the Moscow State University alumni club includes many eminent billionaires and well-known entrepreneurs, including, and, and, and many others.

But, unlike most future oligarchs who chose economics and physics and mathematics faculties, our hero preferred geography.

It is unlikely that then, in 1985, he imagined how he would expand the geographical horizons of his own business. But he went on his first trip immediately after graduating from university. Only it was not a tourist or business trip, but a continuation of my studies. A student of Moscow State University under the international exchange program is leaving to study in the USA at the University of Oregon in the same specialty "Geography".

A graduate of two prestigious universities begins his professional career not in his specialty, but in the field of financial management. Since 1993, Alexander has been working at the Research Institute of Labor of the State Committee for Labor and Social Surveys as a simple researcher.

But the life of the 90s was in full swing and beckoned with “easy” incomes. It was at this time that the Nerl investment company appeared in the brief biography of Alexander Klyachin, and life took a sharp turn. Scientific activity remains behind, and bright prospects beckon ahead.

The irrepressible appetite of a novice investor

According to various sources, the Nerl company was opened in 1993-1995. Where the humble researcher and his partner Sergei Mikheev got the money to open the firm itself and the initial investment remains a mystery. But in just a few years, the company has gained an unflattering reputation in the M&A market. Klyachin's exorbitant appetites made him a cruel, unprincipled raider. And his name is one of the five most frequently mentioned personalities in this market.

"The reputation of the Nerl company suffers not only from the nature and characteristics of its activities."
Source: website zahvat.ru

The absolute absence of any business strategy, lack of understanding of what to do with the real estate acquired along with the business, led the company into a difficult situation. But all these shortcomings were compensated by an aggressive policy.

At one time, state and collective farms located in the Moscow region, research institutes and construction companies, and even the State Public Scientific and Technical Library and the defense enterprise Fazotron-NIIR, a leading Russian developer and manufacturer of radars and radar control systems, fell under the scope of the company.

Despite the expansion of the business, Klyachin did not become a successful player in the M&A market. But, oddly enough, not a single investigation by the procurators or the police related to the activities of Nerl ended in failure for its leader.

Even the high-profile case related to the raider seizure of state farm lands near Moscow turned into the arrest of businessman Vasily Boyko - another raider with a dubious reputation - Klyachin encountered him during the struggle for state farm shares. Klyachin himself, as usual, came out unscathed.

The odious fame of the “successful investor” was supplemented by information about cooperation with the private security company “Rodon”, which, after many years of partnership with the use of force methods for resolving corporate issues, began to be perceived by the public as the raider’s own security service. In some cases, the actions of the private security company "Rodon" went far beyond what was permitted by law.

Nevertheless, by 2006, the Nerl company owned:

  • 15.97% of the shares of the Russian Development Bank;
  • development projects: business centers "Nashitinsky", "Red Rose", "Aviator", "Vernadsky", technopark on Dmitrovskoye Highway, in Electrolitny passage;
  • Savelovsky market;
  • hotel chain "Azimuth. Hotel chain";
  • 15 thousand hectares of land in the Moscow region.

There was no point in conducting large-scale PR campaigns to improve their image. And in 2008, Klyachin sells his offspring - the Nerl company - to investors from the Middle East.

“For the owners of such companies, the period of initial accumulation of capital, which required a certain aggressiveness in actions, is coming to an end. The new realities of the M&A market force them to distance themselves from their previous business projects, up to their sale,” the opinion of an expert from the Karabaev and Partners Law Office.

At the same time, the merchant acquires the Austrian Hotel Company, which manages 21 hotels in Europe. So the raider Klyachin changed his occupation and became a successful hotelier.

Hospitality

The topic of hotels interested Klyachin even at the time of the Nerl management. The company follows the path of buying up hotels built in Soviet times, which, after reconstruction, open under the new Azimut brand. So the payback period is reduced from 15 years for hotels built from scratch to 5 years for modernized ones.

The number of such objects increased rapidly. And in 2004, the entrepreneur opens the Azimut Hotels company, to which the management of the hotel chain is transferred.

The acquired hotel chain in Europe also comes under the management of Azimut Hotels.

As of December 2012, Klyachin owns the following companies:

  • AZIMUT Hotels Company (brand "AZIMUT Hotel Chain"),
  • Hotel "Metropol"
  • Development company KR Properties
  • Telecommunication company Comiten
  • R-Style
