Kirill Nikolayevich Shamalov[1] (Russian: Кирилл Николаевич Шамалов; born 22 March 1982) is a Russian businessman, the ex-husband of Katerina Tikhonova[a] and the ex-son-in-law of the Russian President Vladimir Putin. He was the former economic advisor to the Russian government.[2]

He is the younger son of Nikolai Shamalov, a co-owner of Rossiya Bank and a close Putin confidant.[3]

After marrying Putin's daughter in 2013, Shamalov was offered numerous lucrative and preferential business deals worth billions of dollars.[4][5] He became Russia's youngest billionaire at the age of 32.[5] Shamalov is a director and part-owner of Sibur, a Russian petrochemicals company. Shamalov's 21% stake in the company is reportedly worth $2 billion.[3] The price for the stake and the circumstances behind the acquisition of the stake are unclear.[3] Immediately after marrying Putin's daughter, he obtained a 3.8% stake (valued at $388 million) in the company for $100.[4][5]

In 2018, the United States sanctioned him.[6] After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Shamalov was sanctioned by the United Kingdom.[7]
