10. Sergey Zhukov

The idol of the 90s soberly assesses the situation. “Any creative process is not eternal,” he says. Sergey has 4 children, the most important task for him is to provide for his family. In 2014, he opened the first Cupcake Story, which was introduced as a family business. Sergey’s wife takes an active part in business.

9. Sergey Lazarev

Lazarev went in an unconventional way. In 2015, he founded the first company in Russia that produces exclusive pet products. The Poodle Strudel brand is now quite popular with dog and cat owners. Caring owners can purchase various desserts and even cakes for their pets. At first, goodies were sold via the Internet, and in 2017, the first retail store opened.

It was no coincidence that such an original idea occurred to Lazarev. He has a dog. In the New Year, the singer turned out to be upset, so she was left without a gift. Then Lazarev decided to buy a cake for her, but this turned out to be a whole problem. He did not find anything like this in any pet store. I had to create a confectionery for animals myself. By the way, you can buy not only dessert from Lazarev, but also ordinary food, as well as clothing and accessories for animals.

8. Ivan Urgant

Showman and TV presenter is not limited to one project. In 2011, he, together with Alexander Tsekalo, opened an elite gourmet restaurant in different countries, which soon became one of the most prosperous institutions in the capital.

7. Olga Buzova

In 2011, she, together with her husband and partners from Italy, opened the first women's clothing store. The distribution network was impressive - 40 outlets throughout the country. After 4 years they had to be closed due to loss making. This did not frighten Buzov. She created her own brand and is actively promoting it. Clothing, cryptocurrency, alcohol, a healthy food restaurant - this is not all that the singer did. Buzova’s projects do not bring much profit, so the main income for her is still concert activity. Olga is not upset about this, there are still many ideas in her piggy bank. She also makes good money on advertising and even entered the top ten highest paid Instagram bloggers in Russia.

6. Dima Bilan

Dima Bilan is doing much better. Despite the busy schedule, he finds time to do business. Together with his relative, Bilan opened a small hotel in the suburbs.

Dima Bilan does not try to advertise his business at every opportunity, as some stars do, but the hotel does not lack clients.

5. Polina Gagarina

A beautiful woman and a talented singer ... Polina did not surprise anyone when she presented her "brainchild" - a store of stylish women's clothing.

Apparently for two years the singer did not achieve great results, but the online store is still operational.

4. Kostya Tszyu

A successful boxer could not decide which business sector to choose for him, and decided to try his hand in different directions. His boxing school has been operating since 2009, and quite successfully. At first, he himself acted as a coach, but now does not conduct classes. However, club customers can be sure that professionals are working with them. Kostya himself chooses trainers for his school.

In 2012, Tszyu founded the Boat Restaurant. According to the boxer, in the capital there are very few worthy establishments where you can enjoy Asian cuisine, and he decided to rectify the situation. In 2014, another Autogrill and Grilnaya chain was opened, as well as Kartofan snack bars.

Another project of Vysotsky is the restaurant business. She owns Embassy Food.
