Alexander Janukowitsch

Alexander Janukowitsch

Date of Birth: 10.07.1973

Place of Birth. Education. Born in Yenakiieve in the Donetsk region. After education, he became a dentist.

Business. The eldest son of President Viktor Yanukovych became the core of a new financial and industrial group, known as the Family, with a strong share in the power and financial bloc, assets in industry, banking, and energy sectors. The personal wealth of the son of the President of Ukraine was estimated by Korrespondent magazine at $130 million. The company MAKO, which Alexander Yanukovych oversees, has interests in the construction and banking sectors as well as in the coal industry, but not only. According to Nashi Groshi, the LLC Interregional Gas Company, which belongs to MAKO, received four licenses for the exploration of oil and gas fields, the reserves of which are estimated at 3 billion cubic meters. The company GasUkraine-2009 (led by Kharkiv entrepreneur Serhii Kurchenko, who often refers to friendly relations with Alexander Yanukovych according to Forbes Ukraine) was advertised for the Lysychansk Hydrogen Department.

The family businesses are therefore advancing to a new level - from the exploitation of household and tender flows to the management of large industrial assets. This means the formation of a new financial-industrial group in Ukraine, ready to displace other players.
