Before becoming Ukraine's president in 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky was a comedian and actor. He co-founded Kvartal 95 and has pushed for digital reforms.
Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine's President, has a background that is as colorful as his political journey. Before becoming the President, Zelensky was a well-known comedian and actor, famous for his role in the TV series "Servant of the People," where he played a teacher who unexpectedly becomes President. This role eerily mirrored his real-life ascent to power. His net worth, estimated around $20 million, largely stems from his entertainment career, including his production company, Kvartal 95, which he founded. Zelensky also owns several properties, including a luxurious apartment in Crimea, which he purchased before the annexation by Russia. His transition from entertainment to politics was marked by his anti-corruption stance and promises to reform Ukraine, making him a surprising yet popular figure in Ukrainian politics.
