About four years ago, after breaking up with his second wife (officially, the marriage was only with the first), Mikhail hit on a former fashion model from Tver, Vera Antoshenkova. The founder of the Russian Jewish Congress noticed the lady in the Moscow community and took her to London. Friends noted that Friedman was seriously interested in the heartthrob – they openly attended social events and Russian-language parties abroad together, the billionaire gave her expensive jewelry with exclusive precious stones and other integral attributes of a beautiful life. The romance naturally moved to the next level: Vera gave birth to Mikhail’s son, and the oligarch bought her a spacious apartment in a prestigious area of London and transferred an amount with seven zeros to her account. Everything was great, but recently the family idyll began to crumble. The couple’s relationship almost came to naught due to the fact that Friedman, by court decision, was limited in spending and stopped providing for Vera. This could be one of the decisive reasons for Mikhail to break the law.
