Career
Personal life
At the time of taking office as President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev was divorced from Nadezhda, as indicated on the official website in March 2019.[5][3] It is presumed that the divorce took place between 27 and 29 March 2019.[1]
Together with her ex-husband, she has a son, Timur (born 15 February 1984).[4]
In 1998, she and her son Timur opened a Credit Suisse bank account, even though she qualified as a politically exposed person, which at its height in 2005 contained 1.5 million US$. After her husband became director-general of the United Nations’ Geneva office, the account was closed in 2012, and the family opened offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands, with $5 million in assets plus properties in Geneva and Moscow at $7.7 million.[6]
