In a word, the boy grew up in an intelligent family, from childhood he used to hear conversations on scientific topics, communicate with smart educated people. In 1971, his parents assigned him to a physics and mathematics school and very soon realized that their choice was the right one. It turned out that the boy had outstanding mathematical abilities.

Boyko Oleg (Moscow) - businessman: the beginning of the rise
One of his first affairs was the founding of a karate section within an educational institution. Then he organized a cooperative on the sale of software and computer equipment. After that, he simultaneously engaged in a number of projects. Thus, the businessman founded the OLBI-Diplomat chain of stores, made real estate transactions, imported fruits, bought and sold shares in television channels, became the owner of a stake in the Ogonyok magazine and Izvestia publishing house, and organized the Metelitsa luxury club, in which operated casino Cherry. Oleg Boyko, a businessman, was also involved in politics. Many wondered how he manages to keep pace everywhere. And this was the main mystery of the nature of Oleg Boyko - a businessman. The spinal injury, which he received in 1996, for some time knocked him out of the rut, but could not break. He continued his activities, but could no longer lead a secular life.
Disabled businessman
In 1999, he entered into a partnership with metal trader Alexander Abramov and began to engage in the exchange processes of debts of metallurgical industry factories for their shares. As a result of this, Evrazholding was established, and after a while Oleg Viktorovich sold his share in this holding, valuing them at $ 600 million. In 2001, 5 years after becoming disabled, he set about creating his main business, which made him a billionaire. To this end, Oleg entered into cooperation with the manufacturer of video game machines Boris Belotserkovsky, and together they founded a network of gambling establishments "Volcano". Later, based on it, the Ritzio holding was established, which had representative offices in several foreign countries.
Banking and financial activities
In 2003, Oleg Boyko was a businessman who entered into cooperation with Dmitry Zelenin (ex-governor of the Tver region). Together they acquired a banking institution, namely BTV Latvia, and then opened several foreign representative offices and sold them to a diversified company (USA) for 120 million US dollars.
In 2007, Boyko founded Finstar, and two years later it was renamed Finstroy. After that, this company changed its profile and began to implement various projects in the field of real estate, as well as in gambling in the Russian Federation, the CIS countries, Europe, North and Latin America. As before, that is, before Oleg Boyko (businessman) injured for some time out of his usual fighting spirit, he began to do everything at once. So, in parallel with the banking sector and gambling, he created a network of supermarkets "Smak" and "Almonds", which were opened in Zhigulevsk, Samara and Tolyatti. He also excelled in the "beautiful" business and bought the Rive Gauche perfume and cosmetics network. In 2012, a businessman sold her controlling interest for $ 140 million.
