Pavel Prigozhin, aged 28, manages a business empire worth over $400 million annually, including gold mines, arms trading, mercenaries, and drugs. He leads around 500 mercenaries from Bangui, Central African Republic. Pavel inherited the empire after his father, Yevgeny Prigozhin, died in a 2023 plane crash. His father had led the Wagner Group, active in Ukraine and Africa, before dying post-rebellion against Putin.
