Galkin Earns €150k Hosting Ukrainian Wedding in Rome
Russian comedian and TV presenter Maxim Galkin earned about €150,000 (approximately RUB 14.4 million) hosting a Ukrainian crypto trader's wedding in Rome on September 23. The event took place at Villa Miani, which rented for €30,000.
Galkin performed as the host and emcee, incorporating both Russian and Ukrainian languages into his act. He sang Stepan Gigi's hit 'Cei Dream' in Ukrainian, while also making a speech about the future of Donbass in Russian. The wedding decorations and entertainment cost around €150,000.
This is not an isolated event for Galkin; he regularly takes on the role of toastmaster at weddings and other ceremonies, with most of his recent clients being Ukrainians. In fact, he held a similar wedding on Lake Como in Italy over the summer.
