Yevgeny Prigozhin's Son Set to Inherit $120M Fortune and Wagner Group Following Father's Demise

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the late Russian warlord and leader of the Wagner Group, reportedly left most of his fortune, including the private army, to his 25-year-old son Pavel. A document that appeared to be Yevgeny's will indicated that Pavel would inherit around $120 million, a house, joint stock companies, and shares in his father's catering firm. The will also requires Pavel to provide for his extended family and would split the fortune among other family members in the event of Pavel's death. Pavel's new influence over the Wagner Group comes as the group lacks a clear unified leader, with Russian President Vladimir Putin recently endorsing another former commander for a leadership position. Yevgeny Prigozhin died in a plane crash under suspicious circumstances in August, two months after leading a failed mutiny against Russian military brass.

"Yevgeny Prigozhin's Son Poised to Lead Wagner Mercenaries Amid Ukraine Conflict"

Pavel Prigozhin, the son of Yevgeny Prigozhin, has reportedly taken command of Russia's Wagner group, a mercenary organization. He is currently negotiating with the Russian National Guard over Wagner's involvement in the Ukraine war. The group's main combat elements are spread across several countries, and there has been no clear leader since Yevgeny Prigozhin's death in a plane crash. Some Wagner personnel are interested in rallying around Pavel Prigozhin as an alternative to the Kremlin-aligned Andrey Troshev. Yevgeny Prigozhin led an unsuccessful coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin in June and died in a plane crash in August.
