Jorrit Faassen is a Dutch businessman who came into the limelight due to his marriage to Mariya Putina. Jorrit Faassen and Mariya Putina walked down the aisle some years back they are living happily together.

Three years ago, Jorrit Faassen bought this unsightly piece of building land in Duivendrecht for 4.5 tons; now there are also making plans. ‘There is a contractor and we have issued a permit,’ says Astrid van der Vorm of the Municipality of Ouder-Amstel.

It concerns the Molenkade 27, a piece of land that overlooks the plastic windscreens of the A10 and is sandwiched by a few simple houses. 

In 2019 Faassen bought it for a purchase price of € 450,000 from Molenkade Ontwikkeling BV, the company where he was the director himself. Last summer, he also pushed the envelope full of plans into the letterbox of the municipality.

Spokesperson Astrid van der Vorm: ‘Faassen wants to build a number of business premises there. A contractor has now been hired who applied for a permit from us for those plans last summer. We have checked these against the applicable zoning plan and granted them. Of course, we don’t look at owners and who they are married to.’

Residents do not have to be afraid that Jorrit Faassen and his wife Maria will move into the non-descript part of Duivendrecht. ‘A housing permit does not fit into the current zoning plan. Moreover, in light of everything that is happening now, we will also take international sanctions into account in new permit applications. And they will certainly play a role.’

Faassen Studied Architecture but Choose to Become a Businessman

The sources have claimed that he had his college education at the Hague University of Applied Sciences Netherlands, where he studied architecture and graduated in 2004. Jorrit decided to switch to Business, which he became very proficient and successful at.

Jorrit was reported to have joined the Russian majority state-owned gas company Gazprom as an executive. He had also served in MEF, a Russian consulting firm, as the deputy chairman of MEF Audit Until 2015, when the group reportedly removed his name from their website.

Jorrit and His Wife Were Expelled From The Netherlands in 2013

The couple initially lived in a penthouse in Voorschoten, Netherlands, and the house was at the highest residential building in Vorontsova. However, they were expelled from the country after pro-Russian rebels hit a Malaysian Airline Flight in Ukraine. Faassen and his wife moved to Moscow in Russia, where they lived to date.

The Son-In-Law of Putin Was Previously a Target For Assassination

Putin’s son-in-law was previously targeted for assassination, and this was because he had strong ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He became a target due to the aggression against Putin for allegedly sponsoring the massacre of about 193 Dutch Civilians.

Mariya Vladimirovna studied biology at Saint Petersburg. She was also a Ph.D. candidate at the Endocrinology Research Centre in Moscow, and the Centre, among other things, runs a charity project for children with endocrine diseases.

Jorrit’s wife also has, between 2013 to 2015, co-authored five studies. Her book in 2015 is about idiopathic stunting in children. Other works include ‘The status of blood antioxidant system in patients with active acromegaly

Jorrit Faassen is Almost the Same Age With Vladimir Putin’s Ex-Wife’s Current Husband

The father-in-law of Faassen, Putin, publicly announced the annulment of his marriage with his ex-wife after 30 years. 

The duo got married on the 28 of July 1983 and announced their divorce in 2014. Russia’s former first lady and the mother of Joorit’s wife, Lyudmila Putina, moved on to marry a man about 21 years younger than her. Her new husband, Artur Ocheretny, was born in 1978, while she was born in January 1958.

This implies that Jorrit Faassen, the First Lady’s son-in-law, is about the age mate with Artur Ocheretny.

Jorrit’s Net Worth

Jorrit’s Net worth is not yet sure, and many sources have estimated it to be between $3 million to $10 million. His primary source of wealth is known to be his deep involvement in Business. 

However, being married to the first man’s daughter in Russia may also have influenced his income.
