Ukrainian acquired property from spouses Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for 17,5 million dollars in sunny California. Before this, 33-year-old Marina Grin married the founder of one of the most popular communication programs. WhatsApp Brian Acton, whose fortune is estimated at 6 billions of dollars. Ukrainian success story tells TSN.

“Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a singer, but it so happened that I worked all the time in the legal field. When I finally chose a career as a singer, I decided to buy Kardashian’s house because it has a very pleasant aura. Kim and Kanye are a very powerful couple and very inspiring to be creative. When I came to see this house, Kim and Kanye themselves showed it to me. And I came to the conclusion that this house would be the best for me. I now have my own musicians who are recording an album for me. There are important things in the house - very good security and very beautiful nature to breathe in,” Marina told TSN over the phone.

Her parents Nikolai Nikolaevich and Alla Nikolaevna, unlike their daughter, do not live a stellar life at all. “No, we just arrived from the dacha. We have a house in the village - my parents' house. We live like other people - a city, ducks,” says the billionaire’s dad. The trunk of their small Peugeot, left behind by their daughter, is filled with the gifts of autumn. “We got drunk and brought it to Kyiv. We have another daughter and two grandchildren here. In the summer we live in the village, we have geese and chickens, everything in the world,” says my mother.

She says about Marina that she grew up as an active child - she graduated from music school, loved to perform, sang a lot and dreamed of a cultural institute. “But her father said that this is not a job, she should become an economist or a lawyer, and she did as her father said,” says Alla Nikolaevna.

“She graduated from the university in Irpen with honors, and there she also performed in the Constellation ensemble. After graduating from economics, I also graduated from law in absentia at the same university. She studied English from the 5th grade, and her teachers always praised her for her success in the language and correct pronunciation,” added Nikolai Nikolaevich.

Next, the daughter had a position in the Prosecutor General’s Office, which she got as a result of winning a competition, and also worked as an assistant to a deputy. “And then she said that she had wanted to go to America all her life, and she went there. There I graduated from the University of Washington, law, and studied a lot,” said the mother. The father claims that Marina earned her living money herself - they would not have been able to provide it for her. The mother says that her daughter saved up money in Ukraine, but she also studied and worked part-time in the USA. “After completing her training as a broker, in addition to university, she worked as a patent lawyer - there was already good money there, and she began to fly around the world with patenting,” explained Nikolai Nikolaevich.

The parents claim that their daughter’s intention not to engage in heavy physical labor in the garden was formed in early childhood, when she did not want to dig potatoes with them. “When I was still at school, we took her to the garden. But she will dig a little and ask to go to the toilet, and then lie down under the cherry tree and sleep. I tell her: “Who will dig?” And she told me: “I will do everything to avoid having to do such hard work,” my mother said. The father adds that he is happy about the child’s success, but does not interfere in her affairs. “We don’t have anything like this from America. She said that there was nothing like that there. Even some sweets, he says, cannot be eaten from there. He helps us with money, he puts it on the card, because you can’t live on our pension. Helps everyone. There are no plans to buy us anything special, we have everything. We earned our own money, my husband and I are also hard workers. When she left for the USA, she gave her car to us, so we drive it. She’s been in America for 10 years, and we’ve been driving this car for about that long,” the mother added.

Marina Acton's musical career is also welcomed by her parents. “She always loved more modern music, and she did it well. And even took good places in competitions. Once in the competition she was going to win, but the grand prix was given to another girl. And one of the judges told me, you also put it to the chairman of the commission so that she wins, we did not buy the grand prix. When she wanted to enter the cultural institute, I told her that this business is difficult and unstable. But over time, as you can see, she did not give up her dream. He says I already have money for a producer, an impresario, to equip a studio and hire a vocal teacher. Now I didn’t argue with her,” admitted Nikolai Nikolaevich.

And Alla Nikolaevna clarified that her daughter plans to sing in Russian in the USA. “I ask, how will they understand you? He says - as they want, let them understand, but I will sing in Russian. Not in Ukrainian, because he says that in the USA they don’t even understand what Ukraine is. When the war began, they only began to distinguish a little, otherwise everyone is “Russia, Russia,” and cannot understand where Ukraine is,” she added.

45-year-old billionaire Acton is Marina’s second husband in the United States. Her relationship with the first one did not work out. “We haven't seen him. And we didn’t even communicate, because we don’t know English, and he doesn’t know Russian,” his mother said about him. “We applied for a visa twice, but were refused. They couldn’t even fly to the wedding. We know that there is a person. On Viber we’ll wave to each other and that’s it,” says the father. Alla Nikolaevna believes that Marina loves her native land, but has no plans to return: “My daughter says that she loves Ukraine very much and wants it to prosper, but, you see, her fate has already taken shape there.”

As befits a decent millionaire, Marina Acton founded a charitable foundation. She travels a lot around the world. “For about three years she flew to places every week - Hong Kong, China, Japan, all over the world, always in the air,” says her father. “The eldest daughter flew to visit her, they gave her a visa. He says she’s on the phone night and day, negotiating patents, I don’t know when she sleeps. He says it’s a madhouse there, I’d go crazy if I worked like that. Her man is also an entrepreneur, but she is self-sufficient,” said her mother.

And he adds that the daughter does not hide and speaks the truth about herself. “We called her and asked - what happened, that TSN wants to talk about you, what should we say? She says - tell it like it is, I didn’t steal anything, I have nothing to hide, I still made money in life. I want to make my dream come true, and I will do everything to make it come true,” summed up Alla Nikolaevna.

Note that this estate of Kardashian-West was purchased in 2013 for $ 9 million. And for two years they made expensive repairs and retooled the house. It is made in the Tuscan style with a minimal monochrome design inside. In general, the residence is spread over 9 thousand square meters. It has 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, stone patios, a large lawn, a pool and a spa in the backyard.
