The popular website Page Six claims that multi-billionaire Roman Abramovich, whose bank accounts are frozen in the US and UK, is desperately seeking loans from his friends to continue maintaining his team - which costs $750,000 per week.

The team includes the guards on his luxury yachts.
According to the report, published on the 'Mako' website, his friends in Hollywood, Wall Street and the technology world - those who used to be guests at the many parties he held on his ships and estates - are reluctant to give him what he wants.
According to the website, Abramovich - whose fortune is estimated at $15 billion - said he never paid his staff's wages, and now that his assets are frozen, he cannot pay them.
According to the report, the billionaire approached, among others, Hollywood producer and director Brett Ratner and the Rothschild family, but they refused his request, claiming that they did not have liquid cash, or that it was unclear what the implications were under international law.
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Britain and the European Union imposed sanctions on Abramovich.
Abramovich owns mansions, houses, four yachts, private jets, helicopters and luxury cars around the world worth more than a billion and a half dollars.
He recently survived a poisoning attempt during peace talks to which he was invited by Ukraine. He reportedly suffered from eye pain and peeling skin.
