Model relationship: how will Russian tycoon handle Naomi?
Published 01 August, 2008, 03:44
A romance between supermodel Naomi Campbell and a Russian magnate has sparked a feeding frenzy among the world’s gossip columns. Vladislav Doronin, a property tycoon worth around $US 3 billion, is reported to be Campbell’s latest squeeze, with the two being snapped by photographers in glamourous hotspots across the world.
With good looks and a healthy bank balance, Doronin has earned the nickname of Moscow’s Donald Trump. He’s used to having his pick of women.
“Before he preferred blondes, but now his taste is changing,” notes Viktoria Lopyreva, Miss Russia 2003.
The couple have not confirmed their romance but British newspaper the Daily Mail claims they stayed in Moscow’s Ritz Carlton last week in a $US 10,000 a night suite. It claims she refused to pay $US 200 for damaged sheets.
The paper also published some racy shots of the two on his yacht in Southern France.
Campbell has graced the cover of over 500 magazines, but she has a famously fiery temper and often finds herself in court.
From assaulting her maids to airport police, she's made the headlines more often for her bouts than her boys.
Not all men could handle her. But will her new Russian prince charming be able to tame this beauty?
