According to Channel Five, Russian producer Iosif Prigozhin admitted to reporters that he was not ready to take risks and support other show business in an attempt to live on 50,000 rubles a month.
According to Prigozhin, his monthly expenses amount to at least one and a half to two million rubles.
“I have been working since I was 12, and I cannot afford to stay in the earning zone of 50,000 rubles. I do not agree that this amount can be lived on … I am engaged in production, … I invest money in creativity, in artists, in music I’m just not allowed to be less than one and a half to two million … I’m sure people who say that you can live on 30-50,000 rubles a month are cunning, “said the producer.
