British game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" first aired in 1998, and the Russian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? appeared on screens on October 1, 1999 and was called at that time "Oh, the lucky one." More than 20 years have passed since then, and during this time the main prize went to the players six times. At first it was 1 million rubles, and since September 17, 2005 it has already been 3 million rubles. How the winners disposed of their winnings - further in the review.
Igor Sazeev, broadcast - March 12, 2001
A resident of St. Petersburg, behind whom he studied at the Faculty of Chemistry of Leningrad University and graduate school at the same university, from the moment the program was released on the screens, he became her ardent admirer. But he himself agreed to take part in the game, succumbing to the persuasion of his wife. He was seriously preparing for the broadcast, re-read many encyclopedias, studied reference books, sometimes sitting at books all night long. And his efforts were crowned with success, Igor Sazeev gave the correct answers to all questions and became the owner of one million rubles.
After paying taxes, Igor Sazeev had 650 thousand rubles at his disposal, which he spent on a romantic trip with his wife to Italy, rest with her and their four children in Crimea, purchasing a Renault car and a computer, and also on renovating an apartment. And a trip to his son from his first marriage in Germany. The first wife of the winner took Maxim abroad without the consent of her husband, and the man spent several years looking for the child. After receiving the prize, Igor Sazeev was still able to find his son's address and meet with him. He invested the rest of the money in his own business, but unsuccessfully.
Irina and Yuri Chudinovskikh, broadcast - January 18, 2003
A family from Kirov took part in a special edition of the game, where married couples were allowed. By the way, Yuri Chudinovskikh studied in parallel classes with the first winner of the game Igor Sazeev at the 45th boarding school at the Leningrad State University. Some media outlets wrote that the spouses had invested in funds and now receive a stable income from them. But the spouses themselves, in one of their interviews, said that they disposed of the winnings in a much more prosaic way: some were spent on household needs, and some on travel. They were able to visit ten countries and visit Paris, which they could only dream of before.
Svetlana Yaroslavtseva, broadcast - February 19, 2006
A resident of Troitsk became the first winner to receive a prize of 3 million rubles. Svetlana Yaroslavtseva was able to make her dream come true and spent money on purchasing a summer house for herself and a small one-room apartment for her mother. She was also able to go on an excursion to Israel, swam across the Dead Sea and visited Jerusalem, Netanya and Eilat. As the winner admitted, everything was fine in her life, only there was not enough finance to make her dream come true.
Timur Budaev, broadcast - April 17, 2010
A resident of Pyatigorsk agreed to participate in the game under the pressure of the Pope. The parent of the future millionaire believed that his son would definitely win, and from the moment the first program aired in 1999, he persuaded his son to leave the application. The family did not know that Timur won until the moment the program went on the air. For his parents, he came up with a legend, according to which he won only 100 thousand. And on April 17, 2010, the whole family watched the program and rejoiced with him. The first thing that Timur Budaev did after winning was to buy tickets for his parents on a foreign tour so that they could have a rest. The winner chose not to talk about the fate of the rest of the amount left after deducting taxes and purchasing tickets.
The main prize in the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" won twice more. On the air on November 23, 2013, Bari Alibasov and Alexander "Danko" Fadeev became the winners, and on December 2, 2017, 3 million rubles went to TV presenter Timur Solovyov and singer Yulianna Karaulova.
Representatives of show business in both cases did not expand on what they spent their winnings on. Some media reported information about charity, but not a single couple commented on this information. On the contrary, Alibasov once mentioned in an interview that he and Danko had divided the money in half.
Winners of another popular show "Dom" received 8 million rubles as a prize. For four months in 2003, millions of viewers watched the captivating reality show. It was a completely new format, and therefore the events on the TV set were watched with unflagging interest. What was the fate of the brightest couples of the project, those who 17 years ago “built their house for the sake of happiness in it”, and what did the winners spend their winnings on?
