In the world of show business, where image often outweighs reality, Anatoliy Anatolich decided to once and for all clarify the situation regarding financial roles in his family. Amidst rumors that his wife, PR manager Yula, earns more than her husband, the TV host gave an open interview in which he revealed details of the family budget and responded to accusations of being a "moocher" (kept man).

Financial arithmetic: who is the main breadwinner?

Anatolich admitted that he is not offended by such comments; on the contrary, he is proud that his wife is a self-sufficient and successful businesswoman. However, when it comes to hard numbers, the host clarifies: he covers the lion's share of expenses. According to him, he bears from 70% to 80% of the family budget. "I earn more, but if she earned more, I wouldn't be against it. Why not?" the showman noted philosophically, emphasizing that financial equality or even a shift in favor of his wife would not be a problem for him.

Horses and education: where does the money go?

The main expense item in Anatolich's family is the children, their education, and hobbies. The TV host gave a specific example illustrating the scale of spending: recently, he received a bill for 19,000 hryvnias for equestrian sports. Moreover, his wife Lolita (referring to his daughter, as his wife is Yula) suggested considering the option of renting a horse, which would cost 50,000 hryvnias a month plus payment for the trainer's services. Anatolich admitted that he considers such an amount inflated but is ready to discuss options for the children's development.

"I am an absolute heel": attitude towards female leadership

It is worth noting Anatolich's position regarding gender roles separately. He sees no problem with a woman being the head of the family or at work. On the contrary, he calls himself an "absolute heel" in this matter. In the showman's professional life, women have held leadership roles for most of the time, and he enjoys it. "Statistically, women earn less. It has turned out that way in many areas. But for a very large part of my life, my bosses were women," he shared, noting his comfort working in such a hierarchy.
