Pop Stars Made Millions From Russian Oligarchs. Now Some Have Regrets

Before the #conflict, such shows were considered just another part of a high-profile act’s revenue stream. “We knew about them then,” says one source in the #business, who estimates that about “two or three” oligarch-funded shows took place each year. “We knew the background and the wealth. It’s a take-the-money #industry.”

Even after #Russia’s initial invasion of #Ukraine in 2014, these secretive performances didn’t let up. In 2016, #Sting and #Lopez played separate sets at the #Moscow wedding of Said Gutseriev, the son of sanctioned Russian billionaire oilman Mikhail #Gutseriev. That #wedding, which cost a reported roughly a billion dollars to put on, included a 12-feet-high wedding cake and a ballroom ceiling covered in flowers; as parting gifts, guests were given jewelry-encrusted boxes. During her set, Lopez half-joked that “the hardest thing I had to do today” was learn how to pronounce the names of the bride and groom.

Pop Stars Made Millions From Russian Oligarchs. Now Some Have Regrets

“Playing for oligarchs and rich people is just fucking gross,” says one musician. “I can’t even believe we did it.”

image

Hasselblad has announced the winners of the 2021 Masters photography competition across 12 categories. The winning photographers gain the title of "Hasselblad Master" and receive a medium format mirrorless Hasselblad camera.

The Hasselblad Masters competition is regarded as one of the world's most prestigious professional photography competitions, and winners are selected through a combination of a public vote and a professional Hasselblad Masters Jury comprised of internationally renowned photographers and imaging experts. A full list of Jury members can be viewed on Hasselblad's website.

Hasselblad says that this year's competition was larger than previous years and expanded to 12 categories to include Heritage, which commemorated Hasselblad's 80-year anniversary. The 2021 competition received a record-breaking number of over 63,000 submitted images, double the amount of uploaded images compared to 2018. Entrants do not need to have taken the photos with a Hasselblad camera.

In addition to the title of Hasselblad Master and a new medium format camera, winners will shoot for a collaborative project that is then published on all Hasselblad channels and in a high-quality commemorative Hasselblad Masters book, which will also contain a special feature on each of the 12 winners along with a selection of their images.

“It was incredible to see the number of professional photographers, Hasselblad and non-Hasselblad users, that participated in the 2021 competition. Not only was this year’s competition extra special due to the celebration of our anniversary, there were more than 89,000 votes overall!” said Hans Cornet, Hasselblad Client Relationship Manager. “With the abundance of creative participants and unique submissions, this gave all the judges involved a difficult task in determining the Hasselblad Masters 2021 winners.”

Below are all the winning photos:

Today a custom jewelry will cost you an arm and several months of waiting. I remember the engagement ring I had custom made for my beloved. I provided the gold and the stone. 500-600€ and 5-6 months to make it. And this, in different local jewelry stores.
Now I am a jeweler. I make all my jewelry in 7-10 working days. And I offer prices much more interesting than most.
You understood it, if you, a member of your family or a friend needs a jewelry, ask me for a quote.

🇫🇷 Aujourd'hui un bijoux sur mesure vous coutera un bras et plusieurs mois d'attente. Je me rappelle de la bague de fiançailles que j'avais fait sur mesure pour ma bien aimée. Je fournissais l'or et la pierre. 500-600€ et 5-6 mois pour la fabrication. Et ce, dans différentes bijouteries locales.
A présent je suis joaillier. Je fabrique tous mes bijoux en 7-10 jours ouvrés. Et je propose des prix beaucoup plus intéressants que la plupart.
Vous l'avez compris, si vous, un membre de votre famille ou un amis a besoin d'un bijoux, demandez moi un devis.
