Roman Abramovich grew up an orphan, raised by his uncle and grandmother after the early loss of his parents. His mother passed away from blood poisoning when he was just one year old. Four years later, tragedy struck again when his father, Arcady Abramovich, died in a construction accident. These hardships marked the beginning of a life that would later unfold in extraordinary ways.

Chelsea FC is in hot water with the FA, facing 74 charges over alleged rule breaches related to agents and financial dealings during the Roman Abramovich era, covering years from 2009 to 2022.
Most of the alleged violations happened between 2010 and 2016, a period when Abramovich was heavily investing in the club and Chelsea was rising as a European powerhouse. The FA says the club may have broken rules around how agents were paid, the use of unregistered intermediaries, and third-party influence in player transfers — all of which are tightly regulated.
Interestingly, these issues weren’t discovered by investigators — Chelsea’s current owners (Todd Boehly’s consortium) actually found irregularities while reviewing the club’s past records after buying it in 2022. They then voluntarily reported the potential breaches to the FA and UEFA.
Chelsea has until September 19, 2025, to officially respond to the charges. While the club is cooperating, it’s unclear what kind of punishment could follow — possibly fines or sanctions, though a points deduction seems unlikely given they came forward on their own.

Roman Abramovich’s mother, Irina Mikhaylenko, reportedly died of blood poisoning (sepsis) when he was around 1 year old — but very little is publicly documented about the exact circumstances.As for his father, Arcady Abramovich, he died as a result of an accident at a construction site when Roman Arkadyevich was four years old.
Abramovich himself is very private, and he has rarely spoken in detail about his childhood, so the information that is available comes from biographers and second-hand sources — not from Roman himself.
