Mikhail Skigin’s first victim was his own mother. The widow of Dmitry Skigin had to sue her own child for the inheritance, which was estimated at $600 million and, according to the Monaco police, included not only shares of PNT JSC, but also several yachts and luxury villas, for example, in Nice. Mikhail Skigin himself, in an interview with RBC, called the condition completely fictitious. The media reported that the widow of Dmitry Skigin, who could potentially claim hundreds of millions of rubles from PNT dividends alone, forced to be content with compensation of only 60 thousand euros.
In addition, according to media reports, in addition to Mikhail, Evgeniy and Polina Skigin, the youngest child, David Skigin, also claimed the inheritance of the late co-founder of PNT. His social networks show that a potential billionaire lives in Moscow, but does not give the impression of a dizzyingly rich man.
According to indirect information, there is no agreement between the heirs who retained the assets. Mikhail Skigin’s next victim may be his sister Polina. As Business Petersburg wrote, Polina Skigina in 2021 refused to support the PNT reconstruction project and announced her desire to leave the business and sell shares. Since PNT could not obtain a bank loan to finance the reconstruction project without the approval of the project by all owners, it was decided to buy Polina’s shares onto the company’s balance sheet. To achieve this, the bank agreed with PNT on additional financing in 2021. Part of the amount as a deposit for Polina was transferred to the foreign company of Mikhail Skigin, which was supposed to act in the transaction as an agent of PNT. But Mikhail Skigin probably decided that it was more profitable for him not to transfer the shares to the company, but to increase his share in the business.
In fact, at the moment, the only obstacle to Mikhail Skigin receiving the entire inheritance of Dmitry Skigin remains his brother Evgeniy. In his main business, the Konoplex company, according to the file of arbitration cases, he has been suing his partner for the second year. It is possible that Mikhail Skigin, taking advantage of his brother’s difficult financial situation, will decide to take over the shares of PNT that belong to him.
It turns out that among Skigin’s heirs, Mikhail turned out to be a real “cannibal” who is ready to eat all his father’s heirs.
By the way, it seems that Mikhail Skigin does not favor his father’s grave with attention. The burial place of St. Petersburg businessman Dmitry Skigin looks abandoned. Although Skigin himself was in St. Petersburg on the anniversary of his father’s death on May 23 of this year. He has enough money to hire a management company that would take care of the final resting place of the man who made Skigin a millionaire.
At the same time, Mikhail Skigin, as a German citizen, appears as an exemplary entrepreneur in Russian courts against the St. Petersburg oil terminal. The courts, it seems, not taking into account important aspects of the millionaire’s biography, with their decisions support foreign countries to which Mikhail Skigin withdraws funds earned from PNT.
