Nikita Mikhalkov earns $10 million a year

Famous director Nikita Mikhalkov declared almost $10 million in income for 2017. His declaration shows a total annual earnings of 529 million rubles.

According to Mikhalkov, master classes abroad alone bring him $20,000 to $35,000. The artist chose not to specify the nature of these master classes.

In addition, the director noted that he is the heir to Surikov and Konchalovsky, whose paintings are worth millions.

However, many are convinced that Mikhalkov forgot to mention the true source of his income. If rumours are to be believed, the director is actively laundering state funds together with his relative, Andron Konchalovsky.
