Gunshots, luxury cars and expensive watches as youngest Kadyrov son marries in Chechnya — Novaya Gazeta Europe
Footage has emerged from the wedding of Adam Kadyrov, the 17-year-old son of Chechen head Ramzan Kadyrov, in which the groom is seen driving a limited-edition Mercedes and wearing a watch worth millions of euros, Maria Pevchikh from Alexey Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) noted on Sunday. In video footage of the wedding available on social media, Kadyrov is seen firing a gun into the air while driving a green, limited-edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s Mercedes-Benz G-Class, independent investigative outlet The Insider said. Only 460 models have ever been produced in three colours, with Kadyrov opting for Agave Green. In Germany, the SUVs sell for about €160,000. The EU banned the export of premium cars, including Mercedes-Benz models, to Russia back in 2022. In the same video, Kadyrov can be seen sporting a Jacob&Co Billionaire Ashoka model watch encrusted with diamonds, according to Pevchikh, the head of the FBK's investigative department. Depending on the spec, the watches can cost anywhere from €2.5 million to €17 million. Kadyrov's official wedding was scheduled to be held on Friday, though social media posts from his sister Aishat Kadyrova suggest the celebrations took place on Saturday and Sunday. Kadyrova's social media posts reveal that the bride is called Medni. On Saturday, Ramzan Kadyrov said on his Telegram channel that Vladimir Putin had sent his personal best wishes to Adam. On the same day, Chechen National Policy Minister Akmed Dudaev reported that Putin had met with Adam in the Kremlin, calling it 'another clear demonstration of the special and profound respect' of the Russian leader towards the Kadyrov family and praising Adam's leadership qualities.

This New Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen Is a Retro Ode to the 1980s
Mercedes-Benz is looking to the past with its latest G-Wagen. The German luxury automaker just unveiled a highly exclusive G-Class celebrating the Decade of Decadence. The striking 'Stronger Than the 1980s' variant is specifically inspired by a one-off built to mark the 500,000th example of the boxy SUV rolling off the line. More from Robb Report English TV Chef Fanny Cradock's Former U.K. Home Lists for $6.6 Million A 178-Year-Old Provincetown House Just One Block From the Beach Lists for $3.8 Million A Porsche 911 Just Became the Nürburgring's Fastest Manual Production Car That G-Wagen, which was unveiled in April 2023, was modeled after the 1986 280 GE, the version of the 4×4 that first captured the public's imagination. While still very clearly a W 463-series G-Class, the unique build featured several retro details outside and in, including an Agave Green paint job, amber turn signals, and checker-patterned upholstery inserts. The example wasn't meant to be a preview of a future production model, but due to popular demand, that's just what it has become. The Stronger Than the 1980s edition is as close as you can come to buying the 500,000th G-Wagen. The variant, which is based on the newer W 465-series G-Wagen, comes in one of two period-appropriate colors, Agave Green (of course) or Colorado Beige. The hues aren't the only nostalgic exterior detail, though. The vehicle's trim—including radiator grille, headlamp grates, bumpers, wheel flares, and roof rack—is painted black, and it rides on a set of classic, five-spoke light alloy wheels. The interior has been treated with a similarly light-but-loving touch. The majority of the cabin is covered in black, but the center inserts of each seat features a dove-gray checked pattern. Other model-specific details include grab handles that feature the variant's name, '1 of 460' stitched into the center console, and a 'Schöckl Proved' badge on the B-pillar that looks just like the one from the '80s. Mercedes's announcement is short on technical details, but the exclusive model is based on the 2025 G 550. That means it's powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with mile hybrid technology that makes 443 hp and 413 ft lbs of torque. In the market for a G-Wagen with some old school flair? You'll want to reach out to Mercedes soon about the Stronger Than the 1980s edition, as the automaker plans to build just 460 examples of the 4×4 (the model's first series was the W 460). Pricing has yet to be announced, but expect the variant to cost more than the standard G 550, which starts at $148, of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.
