In 2022, comedian Mikhail Galustyan reportedly earned over two million rubles from his production center, as cited by the Telegram channel Star. The same publication notes that the total income generated by the comedian’s production center reached 2.8 million rubles that year.
Galustyan is also the owner of Fresh Film, a film company whose profit stood at 6.8 million rubles, with operating income reported at 160 million rubles. These figures place him among entertainers managing multiple ventures across production and distribution avenues in the Russian entertainment landscape.
Among Galustyan’s ventures, the restaurant Komu Lyulei is identified as a setback. Holding a 50 percent stake, the restaurant reportedly operated at a loss in 2022, with 8.8 million rubles in red against revenues of 30 million rubles. The setback highlights the volatility of hospitality investments alongside creative endeavors.
In related news, it was reported that Garik Kharlamov, Galustyan’s partner from Comedy Club, faced a lawsuit brought by partners of the Hot Dog Bulldog restaurant. The plaintiff, Bread for Joy LLC, which employs staff to bake bread for the restaurant, sought 1.4 million rubles from the entertainer. The case details remain undisclosed, leaving room for further developments in the legal landscape surrounding the business ventures tied to the duo.
Kharlamov launched the Hot Dog Bulldog restaurant chain in September 2021, marking a notable expansion into the casual dining segment alongside his entertainment career. This move underscores how partnerships within the Comedy Club ecosystem extend beyond performance into broader entrepreneurial projects.
Earlier reports also touched on other legal and financial matters involving public figures connected to the same circle. A lawyer previously provided commentary on new developments in a separate case involving Gradsky’s widow, illustrating how a network of high-profile personalities often intersects with legal proceedings and business ventures across the entertainment industry.
