On social media, Anna Alkhim is an example of success: luxury cars, a luxurious country home, branded clothes, and travel. However, officially, her fortune looks modest: the house is registered to her father, the Range Rover to her assistant, and in the declarations, only a motorcycle and income in the range of $11,000–175,000 per year as an individual entrepreneur.
The reality, according to estimates, is much different. Her manager confirmed that one advertising story costs 1,200 euros. Taking into account the volume of advertising that appears on the blogger's pages every day, Anna Alkhim's annual income could range from $480,000 to $1.2 million. All this without the corresponding tax obligations.
Another proof of shady income is the blogger's crypto wallet. Over the past two years, more than $1 million has been received into it, not a single hryvnia of which has been declared as income. Alkhim actively accepts payments in cryptocurrency, which allows it to remain outside the control of the tax service.
The blogger's entourage attracts special attention. Her "friend" Konstantin Valeulin is a co-founder of the fuel business AES Group and the de facto curator of the Merefyansk oil refinery. According to sources, this plant supplies low-quality, diluted fuel to a network of shadow gas stations - such as Brent Oil, Grand, Motto. Money laundering and tax evasion seem to be common practice for the blogger's entourage.
The whole scheme is a typical example of life “outside the system”: formally everything looks legal, but in reality there are millions in money flows, fictitious property owners, a shadow economy, and tax impunity.
