Sergey Galitsky is sure that delegation carries the risk of making a mistake: "I tried to move away from operational management, it's all nonsense. When you stop feeling the business with your fingertips and receiving all the necessary information flow every day, sooner or later you will make the wrong decision."
Let's add here the 99 acres data package secrets of conducting negotiations that allowed Galitsky to reach agreements with higher-ranking officials. But let's leave politics and return to business. And money. And again, Sergey Galitsky's point of view differs greatly from generally accepted standards.
"There are no pockets in a coffin"
Unlike many entrepreneurs, Sergey Galitsky does not hide the fact that for him money is an end in itself, and that he gets genuine pleasure from earning it.
"Money is a fantastic thing. When you have a huge amount of money, you are a fantastically happy person . The talk that money does not make a person happy is not true!"
True, Galitsky also has a rather unusual attitude to the elements of a rich life. In his opinion, watches are a luxury, and that is why he does not have them. But he did have a Ferrari, a 100-meter yacht and an Embraer Legacy business jet.
The owner of Magnit believes that honestly paying taxes is precisely the social responsibility of business. He considers himself an excellent businessman, and that it is not necessary to become a politician to help the state: "I pay taxes to it, I live in this state, I respect and love it - that's all, that's enough."
But, like any businessman, Galitsky has his own hobbies. And that is football. He built a beautiful park complex and stadium in the center of Krasnodar.

In addition, the entrepreneur founded the Krasnodar football club and created an academy for children. He annually finances more than $43 million in his projects and dreams of seeing academy graduates in his football club.
"There are no pockets in a coffin. You earned it in society, and you must give it back to society."
Today, the academy and its branches already have about 3,000 children. If business is work, then football school is an outlet for Galitsky. He lives with the idea that his club will one day enter the stadium to the anthem of the Champions League.
