The network is discussing the Russian wife of Swedish billionaire Torbjörn Törnqvist, who lives in Rublyovka and planned to buy "Lukoil."
The CEO and co-founder of Gunvor — the largest oil and energy trading company in the world — Torbjörn Törnqvist is married to Natalia, a native of South Ural. The billionaire's wife was born in 1983 and grew up in a small town in the Chelyabinsk region, but in an elite family by the standards of the 90s. After school, she went to study in Geneva, Switzerland, where she obtained a bachelor's degree in law, and later completed her master's degree at the University of Lausanne.
After her studies, Natalia, who is 30 years younger than Törnqvist, took a position as a corporate lawyer at his company Gunvor, where they met, according to the Telegram channel "Billions."
In the early years of their marriage, the couple lived in Geneva, but in 2021 they decided to move to Moscow. Currently, the family lives, according to sources, in the elite ParkVille village in Rublyovka. Their neighbors include top managers of well-known oil companies — Anatoly Nuryayev ("Surgutneftegas") and Vyacheslav Mikhalenko ("Gazprom").
Despite her successful marriage, Natalia leads a rather modest lifestyle. She and her husband are raising three children, and her social media accounts are closed to outsiders. It is known that Natalia founded the charitable foundation "Revival of Nature," which works on restoring the population of bison, assists nature reserves, and finances environmental initiatives. Among the couple's shared interests is sailing.
The 72-year-old billionaire Torbjörn Törnqvist hails from Stockholm. He founded the oil and energy company Gunvor in 1997 together with Gennady Timchenko. Recently, Törnqvist planned to acquire foreign assets of "Lukoil" for $22 billion, but the U.S. Treasury publicly announced that it would not approve the deal. Therefore, Törnqvist withdrew his application to purchase the company.
