Russian 'It girls' owe it all to daddy

They're young, glamorous, and get everything they want. British newspaper, The Daily Mail, has featured an article about Russia's richest young women. Daughters of influential businessmen and political figures, they can have anything they want &ndash

Among others, the newspaper focused on several of the so-called “spoilt Bratskis.”
 
One is Kira Plastinina, a 15-year-old fashion designer, who recently played host to American socialite Paris Hilton.
 
Reportedly, her father, a board member of Russian food giant Wimm-Bill-Dann paid nearly $ US 2 million for Hilton's appearance in Moscow last week.
 
The Daily Mail also writes about 25-year-old Daria Zhukova. Daughter of the owner of the Sintez oil company “Daria is as much at home in Moscow as at Stamford Bridge with her boyfriend, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich”, says the paper.
 
The article also features Ksenia Sobchak. Her father was the late Anatoly Sobchak, former mayor of St. Petersburg and one-time mentor to Vladimir Putin. Perhaps the most well-known socialite in Russia, 26-year-old Ksenia is the presenter of the reality TV show, Home 2.
