Pavel Bure’s Background

Pavel Vladimirovich Bure, born on March 31, 1971, is a former Russian ice hockey player who gained fame during his time in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1989 to 2005. He earned the moniker “The Russian Rocket” for his remarkable speed.

As of mid-2017, Bure’s net worth is estimated to be $70 million, amassed from his extensive career as a professional ice hockey player, which commenced in the late 1980s, as per reputable sources.

Pavel Bure’s Net Worth: $70 Million

Born in Moscow, Russia, Bure is the son of the renowned swimmer Vladimir and Tatiana Bure. When Bure was 12, his parents parted ways, and he resided with his mother. Despite his father’s wish for him to pursue swimming, Bure developed a passion for ice hockey, trying out for the CSKA Moscow hockey school at the age of six despite his lack of experience. By the age of 11, he was named the league’s best forward. Subsequently, at 14, he became a member of the Central Red Army’s Junior team.

Fueled by his love for the sport, Bure began his professional journey at 16, joining the Central Red Army team in 1987 as a fill-in for regular players. After a year, he secured a permanent spot in the team. He made an instant impact by scoring 17 goals in the 1988 season, becoming one of the all-time highest scorers. His early years in Russian ice hockey laid the foundation for his career and contributed to his net worth.

In 1989, Bure left the Central Red Army to pursue an NHL career. While the NHL initially had reservations about drafting him, he was eventually selected as the 113th overall pick in the sixth round of the 1989 Draft. He signed a four-year deal with the Vancouver Canucks and became one of the league’s highest-paid players at the time, significantly bolstering his wealth.

During his tenure with the Canucks, Bure received numerous accolades, including the Calder Memorial Trophy in the 1991-92 season, leading the NHL in goals scored in the 1993-94 season, and contributing to the team’s 1994 Stanley Cup triumph. He remained with the team until 1998, when he opted to depart for personal reasons.

In 1999, Bure was traded to the Florida Panthers, where he once again made history with his goal-scoring prowess. In his first season with the team, he clinched the Rocket Richard Trophy for his 58-goal season. The following season, he surpassed his own record by scoring 59 goals, securing the Rocket Richard Trophy once more. After three years, he was traded to the New York Rangers in 2002.

In 2005, Bure chose to retire while representing the Rangers due to a persistent knee injury. His stint in the NHL significantly augmented his overall net worth.

Alongside his NHL career, Bure competed for the Soviet Union and the Russian Team in two Winter Olympics. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012 and named one of the 100 greatest NHL players in history in 2017.

On the personal front, Bure has been married to model Alina Khasanova since 2009, and they have a son together, Pavel Jr. Bure had a brief marriage to model Jayne Bohn in 1991, seemingly to fulfill residency requirements in North America; the marriage was annulled the following year. He also had a brief romance with Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova in the late 1990s.
