In the United States, members of Congress are now calling on President Biden to sanction Abramovich, threatening his megamansion on the Upper East Side. No more summering in Saint-Tropez or wintering in Chamonix.

The European Union is also messing with his finances and banning him from traveling into its 27 member states. The British government blocked him from entering the country and froze his assets, depriving him of a glittering collection of sports cars, his 15-bedroom mansion in central London, his penthouse overlooking the River Thames, and the Chelsea soccer club. It's been a rough few weeks for Roman Abramovich. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in a meeting with Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich (on the left, in the center) in 2010.
