Popular Science: The Mysterious Nazarbayev Family

After experiencing domestic turmoil, the current president of Kazakhstan, Tokayev, said that under the leadership of Lao Na, very rich people have emerged in the country, and it is time to consider redistributing wealth, because the richest people in Kazakhstan are Nazarbayev and his relatives. Their family's total wealth is more than $50 billion. Today we will talk about the Nazarbayev family.

Nazarbayev led Kazakhstan for more than three decades. According to the official statement, he did not become a billionaire, or even very poor. He devoted his life to serving the public, for which the grateful people of Kazakhstan renamed the capital, airport, and main streets of the city in his honor. At least that's what they said until the turmoil of 2022. As the father of the nation, his family is also the richest family in the country and even in all of Central Asia.

His daughters were all wealthy women

His eldest daughter, Darriga. Zarbayeva is considered the most influential woman in Kazakhstan. For a long time, she is expected to become Lao Na's successor, but in the political struggle in 2019, forced by public opinion and external pressure, Lao Na failed to directly promote his daughter, but indirectly used Tokaev to transition. But in 2020, unexpectedly, Tokaev found an excuse to remove her from the position of speaker of parliament. Experts in Kazakhstan believe that the struggle at the top of Kazakhstan has begun since that time .

The culmination of Nazarbayeva's political career was her presidency of the Senate of parliament, the second-highest position in Kazakhstan. Prior to that, she had been in the media field, founding Habar TV in 1995 on the basis of the Kazakh TELEVISION Information Service. She then acquired the local Europa Plus radio station, KTK and NTK TV companies, the popular Caravan newspaper, and more. Darriga Nazarbayeva's wealth was reportedly estimated at nearly $5 billion in 2015.

The eldest daughter made a great fortune in her two marriages. The first husband was worth 1 billion, but was later persecuted and imprisoned. Her second husband was SharipuBayev, chairman of the board of directors of the famous business giant KazTransGas. The second husband owns 12 companies and is president of the Kazakh Oil Transport Company, and according to 2020 data, her husband is worth more than $8 billion. On January 14, 2022, after the turmoil, the company announced that Sharibbayev had removed him from his position as president

The richest member of the president's family is Denara Kulibayeva, the second daughter of Nursultan Nazarbayev. She ranks third in Kazakhstan's Forbes Rich List. What infuriates the Kazakh people the most is that in fourth place is her husband, Timur Kulibayev, whose wealth exceeds $10 billion.

Together, the couple runs the Harek Bank, kazakhstan's largest bank by assets. In addition, the couple controls the production of liquefied gas and a network of gas stations across the country. Fixed assets of more than 50 billion.

The youngest daughter staged "z z marriage"

Nazarbayev's youngest daughter, Alia, had three marriages. The first marriage was married to the son of Aydar Akayev, the first president of Kyrgyzstan, but later divorced.

The family controls the lifeblood of Kazakhstan and lays the seeds of evil

Now the husband of the youngest daughter, Alia, is the head of Kazakhstan's state-owned oil and gas pipeline company, which controls Kazakhstan's gas operations. It was also at the beginning of January 2022, from their decision to double the price of natural gas, that the situation in Kazakhstan began to be turbulent .

The old uncle is the president, and the nephew is either rich or expensive

The person fifth on the Forbes list is Vachslaf King. The man has a bank, Kaspi, which handles most of Kazakhstan's assets. This person seems to have nothing to do with Lao Na, but in fact one of the co-founders of this bank is Lao Na's nephew Kailat Satibaldi.

However, during this year's turmoil, Satibaldi was accused of being one of the main suspects in organizing mass unrest in Almaty. Many believe that eventually he could be charged with a pan state crime and then sentenced to death.

The younger brother's family also "ascended to heaven"

Old Na also has another younger brother, Borat. He is the owner of Kazakhstan's largest copper producer. After the unrest, Borat secretly entered Kyrgyzstan on January 6 and fled from there to Dubai.

Borat had three children. His first daughter was Gulmira Abisheva, who, according to media reports, is now the president of the Inter-District Administrative Court of The Karasai District of Almaty. The second child is another daughter, Kunduz Nazarbayeva, who now owns a large hair and beauty company. The third child is the son Nurbo, who now serves as president of the State Sports Federation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
