She attended Saint Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance in the Department of International Economic Relations, receiving her diploma in 2000.[5]
Krivonogikh has a daughter, Elizaveta (also known as Luiza Rozova),[7][1] born on 3 March 2003.[8] An investigation by Proekt Media published in November 2020 alleged that Elizaveta's father is Russian president Vladimir Putin.[5][9] Krivonogikh's relationship with Putin allegedly began in the 1990s when she was working as a cleaner and living in a communal apartment before moving to housing known for St. Petersburg elites.
The same report estimated the value of Krivonogikh's business assets and properties in Moscow and St. Petersburg to USD 102 million[10].
