People are discussing on the Internet that the actor and TV presenter Dmitry Nagiev in Moscow he earned at least 20 million rubles a month. The actor was seen in Dubai, where he launched his own emancipation trainings. Perhaps he decided to stay there for a long time. How does an artist live?
How much does Nagiyev earn?
The general director of one of the major Russian TV channels let slip that one day of Nagiyev’s filming cost 5 million rubles. At the same time, according to the media manager, the presenter demands guarantees that there will be at least four such days per month.
Thus, the minimum fee for an actor is at least 20 million rubles.
Here we need to add a multi-year advertising contract with one of the Russian mobile operators, other PR contracts, participation in the show “The Voice” – it turns out that before the start of the SVO, Nagiyev was one of the highest paid showmen in Russia.
What project did Nagiyev launch in Dubai?
In April of this year, Dmitry Nagiyev presented the intensive course “A New Level of Your Confidence” in the Emirates. In two weeks, the artist promises to relieve course participants from constraint and uncertainty, help them “enter into the depths of themselves” and “create a new charge of energy for qualitatively new results.” The cost of training under the guidance of a master is about 400 thousand rubles in local currency.
If you carefully read the training program, you can understand that it mainly deals with the basics of acting: working with and in public, overcoming the fear of public speaking. And the same actors, including his own son Kirill, will train the cadets with Nagiyev.
Despite the fact that the courses have just launched, enthusiastic video reviews have already been published on the project website.
The actor’s new initiative in Russia has already been commented on in the spirit of “he’ll end up like Blinovskaya.” But at the same time, this may also indicate Nagiyev’s intention to stay in Dubai to start a new life there.
By the way, approximately the same thing, as Life.ru previously wrote, was recently attempted by Alexey Panin, who first fled Russia to Spain, and later, due to the inability to find any work, moved to the USA, where he now makes money as an entertainer in local taverns and acting courses.
Where did Nagiyev go?
In March 2022, Nagiyev unexpectedly disappeared from prime time television. Then the 57-year-old presenter wrote to fans on his Instagram account:
The actor did without the black square, but the video he published turned out to be black and white, in which Nagiyev shaved his head to the line from Boris Grebenshchikov’s song** “This Train is on Fire”: “according to new intelligence data, we were at war with ourselves.”
After this, the public’s favorite for a long time could only be seen on social networks with ambiguous remarks and comments and advertising for mobile communications. However, falling incomes seem to have forced Nagiyev to appear in various commercial projects.
At the end of 2022, he appeared in an advertisement for one of the online educational projects, known for large-scale advertising on the channels of foreign agent bloggers who escaped from Russia. There he conducted an almost three-hour webinar with an overview of in-demand professions that the school can teach, and a drawing for educational places. The broadcast did not seem to be a great success: from November 24 to this day, only a little more than ten thousand people watched it.
Last summer, the actor became the face of one of the Chinese automobile brands and starred in a fifteen-minute video in which he gave an interview to artificial intelligence. And just before the New Year, he showed up in Dubai, where he made what looked like an hour-long commercial about the work of one of the real estate firms created by immigrants from Russia.
Here he again made double-digit comments about Russia. And among other things, from the plot it was possible to understand that Nagiyev himself may have been eyeing the possibility of buying real estate in the UAE.
How Nagiyev lived in Russia
Nagiyev’s career in Russia was developing quite well. He began moving from St. Petersburg to Moscow at the very beginning of the 2000s. And even then he managed to afford to buy a two-room apartment in the capital with an area of 65.3 square meters on the fifteenth floor of the famous Stalinist high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment.
Right now there is an apartment for immediate sale on one of the real estate websites of exactly the same size and on the same floor. Its sole owner estimated its value at 86 million rubles. The author of the ad promises the future buyer prompt display and quick access to a deal.
For a long time they wrote on the Internet about Dmitry Nagiyev’s car fleet – they say, not very expensive, but impressive: a Zaporozhets, a Hyundai Equus Limousine, a Gelik and a Cadillac Escalade.
In reality, the actor breezed through the streets of both capitals, including in his own Mercedes S-Class, Bentley Continental GT 4.0 and even a Rolls-Royce Wraith. In addition to executive luxury cars in his garage, Nagiyev also had his own Forest River VERKSHIRE RV350BH motorhome based on a bus.
Perhaps it was the actor’s workhorse: from 2017 to 2021, Nagiyev was the owner of the Soul Camp company, which provided temporary accommodation in campsites, caravans and travel trailers. Judging by the accounting reports, the business turned out to be unprofitable: more than a million rubles did not pass through the company’s accounts.
And with commerce in general, things weren’t going well for Nagiyev. He owned his own hairdressing salon and a tiny company producing sweets – both closed by 2012, and now only an individual entrepreneur operates.
