Katya Hall Bio, Age, Net Worth, Family, Hot Yachts: Miami

A new reality show called  Hot Yachts Miami dropped on Paramount+ on 3 August 2023 and introduced to viewers a whole bunch of party-loving, glamorous people. Katya Hall, whom we are going to discuss now, was also one among them. Katya is presented on the show as one who is at the top of her game when it comes to selling superyachts. So, on this show, they are showing just that about her, her amid eye-watering sales figures and also her getting involved in all the drama and romance.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the writing, we are going to tell you all that is worth knowing about her.

Katya Hall On Hot Yachts: Miami

Katya Hall, just like her Nick Cardoza , AKA Mr. Yachts, is at the center of the eight-part series  Hot Yachts: Miami .

While Nick is known to be “the guy celebrities go to for yachts”, Katya is the ice queen. She is a top broker at the international yacht agency IYC. Her clients are the likes of Prince Albert of Monaco. The boats she markets can go for £200 million.

So, in that manner, Kayta is presented to the audience. It is said she having worked her way up the ladder, is desperate to stay there.

Another cast member, i.e., Viktoriya Avramchuk , known as Vika, is introduced as Katya’s “protégée”. Both immigrants, Katya gave the other job as a favor to her mother Zhanna. So, at the time, their story played out on Hot Yachts: Miami , Vika had been working for Katya for 18 months and was yet to make a sale. Naturally very good at flirting with clients, when she turned her attention to the afore-mentioned Nick, Katya furiously warned Vika that he may not be all he seems.

Conversing with Metro.co.uk ahead of their show’s UK release, the cast including Katya gave away some of the wildest demands of their customers, and just how luxurious their industry really is.

When asked whether they had a similar reaction from their industry colleagues regarding Hot Yachts: Miami , Katya said Fotis and she has got mixed reviews. She said they had the vast majority of people tell them they found it to be a funny show. Yet, they also had a couple of people telling them they are a lot more serious and a lot more corporate than it was shown on the show.

As for Katya herself, she always liked the idea of shedding some light on what they do. She always thought some exposure, some PR is good for them.

How Much Is Katya Hall’s Net Worth?

Often referred to as the “Queen of Super Yachts”, Katya Hall reportedly had above $25 million net worth as of 2023.

When it comes to her secret of what it takes to become a top broker, Katya once joked it takes to “being a psychologist, a mind reader, and a combination of a poker player and a chess player.”

Now, a top broker at an exclusive, luxury international yachting firm, she loves to tell people she is not a yacht broker but a “SUPER YACHT broker”.

Katya Hall Age

In 2022, Katya Hall turned 39 years old.

Katya Hall Family

Here are rare few things known about Katya’s family. Her brother is Pavel Kalashnikov. He is married and currently based in Moscow, Russia working as a commercial director at Snabway . Back in 20005, he graduated from MISIS University. To Katya especially he is one very special childhood friend, a voice of wisdom in her life for over three decades, and so much more.

Katya’s mom is Irina Plyusnina. On 1 February 2019, Katya wished her “forever young mama” on her 60th birthday. Katya says she is always grateful for those rocking genetics that he mom gave to her.

Is Katya Hall Married?

Katya Hall is married to an attorney and tech founder named Issa Addae Hall . On his Instagram @ issa.hall, Katya mentions being the founder of the sports brand  JRZY , a ttorney, and sports tech.

Together with him, Katya lives in a penthouse overlooking Fort Lauderdale beach, so that she can keep an eye on the yachts coming in and out of the harbor.

Their wedding happened in South Beach Miami back in February 2021 exactly on their 6 months anniversary. “Barefoot, Pregnant, at Sunrise in South Beach I married a man who started calling me Queen Katya after our first date then Baby Mama after our second date…”, this is how Katya had announced it the same on social media.

Later, on 21 August 21, Katya and Issa welcomed “Mr. Zane Vova Hall”, their first baby, a boy.

Katya alone also has a daughter from her previous relationship (with Milo Jaimes). She is Elena Jaimes and she is expecting to graduate from the University of Maryland in 2027. On 5 September 2022, when Elena turned 17, Katya took to her IG to gush about the world being a much better place with her daughter in it.

Hot yachts! The Russian selling luxury boats to billionaires

When katya hall was growing up in siberia she had to queue for hours every day for a loaf of bread. now she’s at the centre of the multimillion-dollar world of superyachts and the star of a new reality show, hot yachts: miami.

I n Agua Blanca, an indigenous village in the forest close to the Ecuadorean coast, there is a pool of sulphurous water that is supposed to reinvigorate body and soul. A tall Siberian wearing a leopardskin swimsuit slides in, watched by three Manteño women.

Katya Hall’s outfit leaves plenty of skin exposed to the healing waters. It’s a “Zhanna monokini” from her own label, the Russian’s very intentional collaboration with Ukrainian designers and seamstresses.

Hall grew up on the other side of the Urals during the collapse of the Soviet Union, queuing three hours for bread from the age of six. She worked on the railways to earn enough money to get to the US, and when she arrived she was abused.

Not that she dwells.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Hot Yachts: Miami cast open up on glamorous world of multimillion-dollar boat brokers – from chartering plane just for bread to Below Deck comparisons

Share this with

If you’ve got a hole in your TV schedule where Selling Sunset used to be, and you’re all caught up on the latest Below Deck drama, Hot Yachts: Miami might be the show for you.

The new reality series is setting sail on Paramount+, taking passengers into the seriously glamorous world of super-yacht brokering.

Of course, there will be some choppy waters ahead as agents do battle to get their customers the biggest boats in the marina, and will stop at nothing to make them happy.

Even if that means chartering a plane just for one loaf of bread.

Yes, seriously.

Chatting to Metro.co.uk ahead of the UK release, the cast – including Katya Hall, Vika Avramchuk and Fotis Geranios – lifted the lid on some of the wildest requests they have been given, and just how luxurious the industry really is.

Spilling the beans on demands from customers, Katya, aka the ‘queen of super yachts’, told us: ‘We all have plenty… From having to fly provisions to chartering a plane to put a loaf of bread on it and fly it to the Caribbean…

‘I had a client calling me saying, “I’m heading to an airport – when I land I expect a 70m yacht and I want to charter it for three weeks, ready to go.” 

‘We’re talking about a multimillion-dollar charter and he said, “I’m going to be unavailable for 10 hours as I’m flying. When I land, I sure hope you have a yacht for me to go on.” Things like this do happen, this is real, and we manage. 

‘We get it done every time. Sometimes it seems like a miracle, but we pull them off.’

Katya sounds like someone we need to have on speed dial immediately.

Many have dubbed Hot Yachts: Miami a mix of Selling Sunset and Below Deck, with the latter showing the inner workings – and scandals – of the crew as they aim to please very rich charter guests.

Kaile Justine, who worked on boats herself for years before making the switch to brokering, shared how the programs are lifting the curtain on very different subjects.

‘People who work on the boats, they’re more like a family,’ she said. ‘It’s not drama like that. 

‘But being able to put lines on the boat, really stressful situations, when you have wind hitting you and the people on deck don’t know what they’re doing. Of course, that is definitely realistic, because I’ve seen it. 

‘We see boats crash in Miami Beach Marina all the time, so definitely that’s realistic.’

‘I think the idea has been around for such a long time to do a TV show on the world of super yacht brokers,’ Katya continued. ‘Obviously [it’s] very glamorous, especially on the outside. 

‘Sometimes [there are] dirty engine rooms and loud noisy shipyards on the inside, but it appears very bright and shiny from the outside, and that’s what we aim to do.

‘We want our clients to only have bright and shiny experiences and we’ll deal with the noisy, dirty shipyards on our end.’

The Below Deck cast have been vocal about the negative reaction they got from their fellow yachting colleagues before joining the show, with Captain Lee Rosbach admitting that he was told his ‘career was over’ for taking part .

After the program – and the spin-offs – grew in popularity, many changed their tune and jumped to get in on the action.

When asked about whether they had a similar reaction from their industry colleagues regarding Hot Yachts: Miami, Katya added: ‘Fotis and I have got mixed reviews, the vast majority of people love it, they think it’s a funny show. 

’It is good to shed some some light on what we do, and when we introduce more people to yachting. Statistics say that only 5% of people that can afford to buy a charter yacht actually do. So for us, exposure is good, PR is good. 

‘Then we had a couple of people saying, “We’re a lot more serious and we’re a lot more corporate than it looks”.

‘Sure, that’s true. But do we want to film boardroom meetings and sitting in front of a computer writing long emails? Of course not. It’s a juggling act.’

History of Astrakhan Oblast

In ancient times, the territory of the Astrakhan region was crossed by trade routes of the Persians and the Arabs. In the 8th-10th centuries, the territory belonged to the Khazar Khanate. There is a hypothesis that Itil, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, was located on this territory. It was destroyed by Prince Svyatoslav in 965.

Later, Polovtsy settled on this land. In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongol-Tatars came to the area. After them, Tatars of the Astrakhan Khanate and Kazakhs became the main population of the region.

In 1556, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the Astrakhan Khanate was annexed to the Russian state and ceased to exist. Astrakhan krai became the southeastern military outpost of Russia. In particular, in 1569, the Turks unsuccessfully besieged the fortress of Astrakhan.

In the 17th century, trade, fishing and salt industries developed in the region. In the middle of the 17th century, the uprising of Stepan Razin took place on the territory of Astrakhan region. In 1722, near the mouth of the Kutum River, a shipyard called the Astrakhan Admiralty was built. In the 1730s-1740s, the processing of silk and cotton began here.

Astrakhan Oblast was created in 1943. The region gained its current borders in 1957.

Medieval history

Modern history, administrative and municipal status, demographics, transportation, notable people, twin towns and sister cities, external links.

Astrakhan was formerly the capital of the Khanate of Astrakhan (a remnant of the Golden Horde ) of the Astrakhan Tatars , and was located on the higher right bank of the Volga, seven miles (11   km) from the present-day city. Situated on caravan and water routes, it developed from a village into a large trading centre, before being conquered by Timur in 1395 and captured by Ivan the Terrible in 1556 and in 1558 it was moved to its present site.

The oldest economic and cultural center of the Lower Volga region, [16] it is often called the southernmost outpost of Russia, [17] and the Caspian capital. [18] [19] The city is a member of the Eurasian Regional Office of the World Organization United Cities and Local Governments . [20] The great ethnic diversity of its population gives a varied character to Astrakhan. The city is the center of the Astrakhan metropolitan area .

The name is a corruption of Hashtarkhan, itself a corruption of Haji Tarkhan ( حاجی‌ ترخان )—a name amply evidenced in the medieval writings. Tarkhan is possibly a Turco-Mongolian title standing for "great khan ", or "king", while haji or hajji is a title given to one who has made the Islamic requisite of pilgrimage to Mecca . Together, they denoted "the king who has visited Mecca". [ citation needed ] The city has given its name to the particular pelts from young karakul sheep , and in particular to the hats traditionally made from the pelts. [ citation needed ]

Colloquially, the city is known by the short form Astra . Another popular nickname is The Caspian Capital . [ citation needed ]

Astrakhan is in the Volga Delta , which is rich in sturgeon and exotic plants. The fertile area formerly contained the capitals of Khazaria and the Golden Horde . Astrakhan was first mentioned by travelers in the early 13th century as Xacitarxan . Tamerlane burnt it to the ground in 1395 during his war with the Golden Horde . From 1459 to 1556, Xacitarxan was the capital of Astrakhan Khanate by the Astrakhan Tatars . The ruins of this medieval settlement were found by archaeologists 12   km upstream from the modern-day city.

Starting in A.D. 1324, Ibn Battuta , the famous Berber Muslim traveler, began his pilgrimage from his native city of Tangier , present-day Morocco to Mecca. Along the 12,100-kilometer (7,500   mi) trek, which took nearly 29 years, Battuta came in contact with many new cultures, which he writes about in his diaries. One specific country that he passed through on his journey was the Golden Horde ruled by the descendants of Genghis Khan , located on the Volga River in southern Russia; which Battuta refers to as the river Athal. He then claims the Athal is, "one of the greatest rivers in the world". In the winter, the Khan stays in Astrakhan. Due to the cold water, Özbeg Khan ordered the people of Astrakhan to lay many bundles of hay down on the frozen river. He does this to allow the people to travel over the ice. When Battuta and the Khan spoke about Battuta visiting Constantinople, which the Khan granted him permission to do, the Khan then gifted Battuta with fifteen hundred dinars, many horses, and a dress of honor. [21] [22]

In 1556, the khanate was conquered by Ivan the Terrible , who had a new fortress, or kremlin , built on a steep hill overlooking the Volga in 1558. This year is traditionally considered to be the foundation of the modern city. [3]

In 1569, during the Russo-Turkish War , Astrakhan was besieged by the Ottomans, who had to retreat in disarray. A year later, the Ottoman sultan renounced his claims to Astrakhan, thus opening the entire Volga River to Russian traffic. [ citation needed ] The Ottoman Empire , though militarily defeated, insisted on safe passage for Muslim pilgrims and traders from Central Asia as well as the destruction of the Russian fort on the Terek River . [23] In the 17th century, the city was developed as a Russian gate to the Orient. Many merchants from Armenia , Safavid Persia , Mughal India , [24] [25] and Khivan Khanate settled in the town, giving it a cosmopolitan character.

For seventeen months in 1670–1671, Astrakhan was held by Stenka Razin and his Cossacks . Early in the following century, Peter the Great constructed a shipyard here and made Astrakhan the base for his hostilities against Persia, and later in the same century Catherine the Great accorded the city important industrial privileges. [26]

The city was held from 1707 by the Cossacks under Kondraty Bulavin during the Bulavin Rebellion until they were defeated the next year. A Kalmuck khan laid an abortive siege to the kremlin several years before that.

In 1717, it became the seat of Astrakhan Governorate , whose first governors included Artemy Petrovich Volynsky and Vasily Nikitich Tatishchev . Six years later, Astrakhan served as a base for the first Russian venture into Central Asia . In 1702, 1718 and 1767, it suffered severely from fires; in 1719 it was plundered by the Safavid Persians; and in 1830, cholera killed much of the populace. [26]

The Astrakhan Kremlin was built from the 1580s to the 1620s from bricks taken from the site of Sarai Berke . Its two impressive cathedrals were consecrated in 1700 and 1710, respectively. Built by masters from Yaroslavl , they retain many traditional features of Russian church architecture, while their exterior decoration is definitely baroque .

In March 1919 after a failed workers' revolt against Bolshevik rule, 3,000 to 5,000 people were executed in less than a week by the Cheka under orders from Sergey Kirov . Some victims had stones tied around their necks and were thrown into the Volga. [27] [28]

During Operation Barbarossa , the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the A-A line running from Astrakhan to Arkhangelsk was to be the eastern limit of German military operation and occupation. The plan was never carried out, as Germany captured neither the two cities nor Moscow . In the autumn of 1942, the region to the west of Astrakhan became one of the easternmost points in the Soviet Union reached by the invading German Wehrmacht , during Case Blue , the offensive which led to the Battle of Stalingrad . Light armored forces of German Army Group A made brief scouting missions as close as 35   km to Astrakhan before withdrawing. In the same period, elements of both the Luftwaffe 's KG 4 and KG 100 bomber wings attacked Astrakhan, flying several air raids and bombing the city's oil terminals and harbor installations.

In 1943, Astrakhan was made the seat of a Soviet oblast within the RSFSR . The oblast was retained as a national province of the independent Russian Federation in the 1991 administrative reshuffle after the dismemberment of the Soviet Union .

In the present day, Astrakhan is a large industrial centre of the Volga country, Russia, with a population of over 500,000. Starting nearly 400 years ago and continuing to the present day, Astrakhan has been Russia's main center of fish processing. The market for fish is a large component of the economy in this city. [29]

Owing to shared Caspian borders, Astrakhan recently has been playing a significant role in the relations between Russia and Azerbaijan. As the latter's government has been heavily investing into the wellbeing of the city, Astrakhan has recently begun to symbolize the friendship between both countries. In 2010 a bridge was constructed with donations from Azerbaijan, which was named "Bridge of Friendship". [30] Moreover, Azerbaijani government sponsored secondary school number 11, which carries the name of the national leader Heydar Aliyev , as well as a children's entertainment center named "Dream". [31] Apart from that, a park has been built in the center of Astrakhan which is dedicated to friendship between the two countries. In the last 5 years Astrakhan has been visited by top Azerbaijani delegations on several occasions. [32] [33] [34] [35]

After fraud was alleged in the mayoral election of 2012 and the United Russia candidate was declared the winner, organizers of the 2011–2012 Russian protests supported the defeated candidate, Oleg V. Shein of Just Russia , in a hunger strike . Protestors, buoyed by celebrities who support the reform movement, attracted 5,000 people to a rally on April 14. [36]

Astrakhan is the administrative center of the oblast . [10] Within the framework of administrative divisions , it is incorporated as the city of oblast significance of Astrakhan —an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts . [1] As a municipal division , the city of oblast significance of Astrakhan is incorporated as Astrakhan Urban Okrug . [11]

The city of Astrakhan is further subdivided into four administrative districts: Kirovsky, Leninsky, Sovetsky and Truskovsky.

Astrakhan is the archiepiscopal see of one of the metropolitanates and (as Astrakhan and Yenotayevka) eparchies of the Russian Orthodox Church , its only other suffragan being Akhtubinsk. [ citation needed ] There is also a Catholic community, served by the Church of the Assumption of Mary (Astrakhan) . There is also a substantial Muslim population made up of Astrakhan Tatars and other Muslims. [37] At 1777 the white Mosque was built, [38] and the Baku Mosque was built in 1907–1909.

According to the results of the 2021 Census, the population of Astrakhan was 475,629. [15]

At the time of the official 2021 Census, the ethnic makeup of the city's population was: [39]

The city lies on two banks of the Volga, in the upper part of the Volga Delta, on eleven islands of the Caspian Depression, 60 miles (100 km) from the Caspian Sea. At an elevation of 28 meters (92 ft) below sea level, it is the lowest city in Russia.

Astrakhan features a continental cold semi-arid climate ( Köppen climate classification : BSk ) with cold winters and hot summers. Astrakhan is one of the driest cities in Europe. Rainfall is scarce but relatively evenly distributed throughout the course of the year with, however, more precipitation (58%) in the hot season (six hottest months of the year).

The below sea-level elevation and long distance from the ocean of Astrakhan significantly influences the climate. Winters are cold with average January temperature -3.6 °С (25.5 °F). Summer temperatures in Astrakhan are one of the highest in Russia with average Jule temperature 26.1 °С (79 °F) and may reach 40 °С (104 °F) and higher. The summers are much hotter than found further west on similar latitude in Europe and worldwide for 46°N with the notable exception of the interior Pacific Northwest of the United States. [ citation needed ] The mean annual temperature amplitude (difference between the mean monthly temperatures of the hottest and coldest months) is thus equal to 29.7 °С (85.5 °F) so the climate is truly continental. Spring and fall are basically transitional seasons between summer and winter.

Astrakhan has five institutions of higher education. Most prominent among these are Astrakhan State Technical University and Astrakhan State University .

The city is served by Narimanovo Airport named after Soviet Azerbaijani politician Nariman Narimanov . It is managed by OAO Aeroport Astrakhan. After its reconstruction and the building of the international sector, opened in February 2011, Narimanovo Airport is one of the most modern regional airports in Russia. There are direct flights between Astrakhan and Aktau , Istanbul , St. Petersburg and Moscow.

There is also a military airbase nearby ( Astrakhan (air base) ).

Astrakhan is linked by rail to the north ( Volgograd and Moscow), the east ( Atyrau and Kazakhstan ) and the south ( Makhachkala and Baku). There are direct trains to Moscow, Volgograd, Saint Petersburg , Baku , Kyiv , Brest and other towns. Intercity and international buses are available as well. Public local transport is mainly provided by buses and minibuses called marshrutkas . Until 2007 there were also trams, and until 2017 trolleybuses.
