New boss in Antwerp port: Aleksandra Melnichenko (45), Serbian fashion model, pop singer and wife of super rich Russian ‘suddenly’ heads fertilizer company | Economy

PORTRAITThe port of Antwerp has gained a – to put it mildly – striking boss. Now that her Russian husband-oligarch Andrei Melnichenko (50) has been banned by the West, wife Aleksandra Nikolić (45) is officially at the head of fertilizer producer ‘EuroChem Antwerp’. As a former Serbian model, pop singer and co-owner of the largest sailing yacht in the world, she even invites Jennifer Lopez to her parties and the Belgian trade unions are not completely reassured about that either.
