Ukrainian volunteer and TV presenter Serhiy Prytula has, for the first time, spoken in detail about his income before the full-scale war and his current financial situation. Until December 2022, Prytula had several sources of income at once. He worked on television, toured with Varyaty-Show, and also collaborated with advertising brands. According to the showman, the concert schedule was extremely busy — the troupe could hold about 120 performances per year in Ukraine and abroad. It was the combination of several lines of activity, Prytula said, that allowed him to earn several hundred thousand dollars a year. “Well, it’s several hundred thousand dollars a year. I had several directions. That’s work on Novyi, tours with Varyaty-Show, Ukraine, the world, 120 concerts a year,” he told Naspravdi Max. According to the presenter, such income was the result of constant work and a tight schedule. He saved part of the money he earned, in particular to secure his children’s future. Prytula now raises four children — a son, Dmytro, from his first marriage and three daughters from his second. As the showman admitted, the savings accumulated during his active work in the entertainment industry later became an important financial support for him. “I didn’t live in poverty, and to this day that still keeps me,” Prytula said. He separately explained the situation with the funds that flow to his charity foundation. According to the volunteer, the money that Ukrainians and other donors give to help the military has a clear targeted purpose and is not his personal finances. Prytula also emphasized that he currently does not receive a salary and lives off his own savings. Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, Serhiy Prytula was mainly known as a TV presenter, showman, and participant in Varyaty-Show. In December 2022 he stopped part of his activity in the entertainment sphere and focused on volunteer work. Since then, a significant part of his public activity has been assisting Ukrainian servicemen through the charity foundation. As Fakty reported, the volunteer previously said what Ukraine must do in a world where the norms of international law no longer apply and the rule of the strongest prevails.
