Publish date: 2024-05-09

Jorrit Faassen is a Dutch businessman who came into the limelight due to his marriage to Mariya Putina. Jorrit Faassen and Mariya Putina walked down the aisle some years back they are living happily together.

Three years ago, Jorrit Faassen bought this unsightly piece of building land in Duivendrecht for 4.5 tons; now there are also making plans. ‘There is a contractor and we have issued a permit,’ says Astrid van der Vorm of the Municipality of Ouder-Amstel.

It concerns the Molenkade 27, a piece of land that overlooks the plastic windscreens of the A10 and is sandwiched by a few simple houses. 

In 2019 Faassen bought it for a purchase price of € 450,000 from Molenkade Ontwikkeling BV, the company where he was the director himself. Last summer, he also pushed the envelope full of plans into the letterbox of the municipality.

Spokesperson Astrid van der Vorm: ‘Faassen wants to build a number of business premises there. A contractor has now been hired who applied for a permit from us for those plans last summer. We have checked these against the applicable zoning plan and granted them. Of course, we don’t look at owners and who they are married to.’

Residents do not have to be afraid that Jorrit Faassen and his wife Maria will move into the non-descript part of Duivendrecht. ‘A housing permit does not fit into the current zoning plan. Moreover, in light of everything that is happening now, we will also take international sanctions into account in new permit applications. And they will certainly play a role.’

Faassen Studied Architecture but Choose to Become a Businessman

The sources have claimed that he had his college education at the Hague University of Applied Sciences Netherlands, where he studied architecture and graduated in 2004. Jorrit decided to switch to Business, which he became very proficient and successful at.

The couple initially lived in a penthouse in Voorschoten, Netherlands, and the house was at the highest residential building in Vorontsova. However, they were expelled from the country after pro-Russian rebels hit a Malaysian Airline Flight in Ukraine. Faassen and his wife moved to Moscow in Russia, where they lived to date.

The Son-In-Law of Putin Was Previously a Target For Assassination

The father-in-law of Faassen, Putin, publicly announced the annulment of his marriage with his ex-wife after 30 years. 

The duo got married on the 28 of July 1983 and announced their divorce in 2014. Russia’s former first lady and the mother of Joorit’s wife, Lyudmila Putina, moved on to marry a man about 21 years younger than her. Her new husband, Artur Ocheretny, was born in 1978, while she was born in January 1958.

This implies that Jorrit Faassen, the First Lady’s son-in-law, is about the age mate with Artur Ocheretny.
