Sofia Rotaru lost 10 million due to SVO

The 76-year-old singer is a woman of principle

After the start of SVO, Sofia Rotaru completely stopped going on stage. The singer considered that entertaining the public in such difficult times is an unaffordable luxury. Despite this, interest in the “farmer” does not fall. As it became known, Rotaru recently lost the opportunity to earn a huge amount of money.

Before the start of the SVO, Rotaru actively made money from corporate events. The singer was considered one of the highest paid. The oligarchs were ready to pay huge amounts of money for the performance of the “farmer”. After the start of the SVO, the singer refused all concerts. And he hasn’t performed for three years now.

“Yes, until Sofia Mikhailovna sings: this is her decision,” says producer Sergei Lavrov, who has worked with her in recent years. – Although she receives offers regularly. Just recently I was invited to sing in Dubai.

The organizers offered Rotaru luxurious conditions: a separate plane, a luxury hotel and decent money for a small performance.

“This time they gave a lot of money: 100 thousand euros (10 million rubles – author),” Lavrov shares the details. – For this fee, Sofia Mikhailovna was asked to perform five songs. But she refused. He believes that now is not the time to speak.

Those around the singer assure: Rotaru is a woman of principle. If she has decided something for herself, then it is impossible to convince her. Moreover, Sofia Mikhailovna, despite the fact that she does not sing, does not experience a lack of funds. During her career, the star was able to amass a huge fortune, which, as they say, will be enough for her, her son, and even her grandchildren. Which, by the way, the singer took abroad after the start of the SVO.

The star himself can now often be seen at his villa in Italy. Sofia Mikhailovna acquired it several years ago. The climate there is ideal for the singer, so Rotaru tries to spend most of his time in Italy.
