by The buyer of the collectible car is not yet 30 years old, but his wealth is estimated at $360 million! Who is he and whose son is he? A few years ago, a TV segment about ‘majors’ and children of influential people racing in cool cars caused a sensation on television.
Nazar Babenko was mentioned in it – this is why journalists called him the son of deputy Valeriy Babenko. But actually they are just namesakes, as later stated by the authors of the segment themselves. So, who is he and where did the 28-year-old (the age indicated in his profile) young man get the money for the Bugatti Divo hypercar?
TopGir conducted its own investigation and discovered interesting details about the Ukrainian who, likely, owns the most expensive car among our citizens. Let’s start with the fact that Nazar Babenko lived in Dnipro. Why ‘lived’? Because later, after the war started, he left for the Emirates. But if you believe the photos and posts on his Instagram, he hasn’t forgotten about Ukraine, having established a charitable foundation.
Currently, Nazar is in Dubai, and his company, which he founded in 2014, even became a sponsor of the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix 2022 this year! So, to the main point – how did the young Ukrainian make millions upon millions?
As with IT entrepreneur Oleksandr Slobozhenko, who owns a Ferrari hypercar and more, Babenko amassed his fortune not from candy-making. More precisely, he is one of the largest owners (HODLer) of the main cryptocurrency (bitcoin) in Eastern Europe, and his company Danvel, as of 2022, is among the TOP-20 best teams in the world for asset management on financial markets!
According to the TopGir website, Nazar Babenko owns real estate in Switzerland, Austria, the UAE, and Ukraine. As for cars, in 2022 he purchased one of the 40 Bugatti Divo, paying $9 million for the hypercar (as Nazar himself writes).
But that is not all that is in the Ukrainian’s garage in Dubai. For everyday life, he uses an off-road Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
In the background, you can see another hypercar – a Koenigsegg Agera RS for $2 million and other luxurious cars. But there is no exact data that the Swedish hypercar and other cars are owned by Babenko.
By the way, as Nazar writes, he has already driven 1000 kilometers on the Bugatti and had the first maintenance service for… $100,000!
