As reported, at the time of the founding of the social network, the shares were divided as follows:
- 20% directly from Pavel Durov
- 60% stake was owned by Vyacheslav Mirilashvili, son of the co-owner of the group "Konti"
And another 10% were among Lev Leviev and grandfather Mikhail Mirilashvili, Vyacheslav's grandfather.
But in the latest report JPMorgan
provides the following data:
-39.99% of shares are owned by Mail.ru Group
-In the Mirilashvili family as a whole, another 40% of shares
-12% remained with Durov, and the remaining 8 - with Leviev.
But this is not the most interesting. Where are the 8% of Durov?
As it turned out, in July of this year he himself sold them to Mail.ru Group, and earned $ 111 million.
And therefore even more mysterious are the reasons for the somewhat informal behavior of
Pavel Durov . Unfortunately, JPMorgan does not know about their causes.
