Russia's Paris Hilton

Kseniya Anatolyevna Sobchak (Russian: Ксе́ния Анато́льевна Собча́к), was born November 5, 1981 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. She is the daughter of the first democratically-elected mayor of Saint Petersburg, Anatoly Sobchak.

Russia's Tatler magazine made the list of most desirable single women in the country. The list is based on women's fortune and their celebrity status. This photo shows Ksenia Sobchak. She is known across Russia as a socialite, TV host and presenter.

A celebrity widely known nationally as a presenter on the reality show "Dom-2" on the Russian channel TNT, she is sometimes described to international audiences as, by way of analogy, Russia's "It girl" and "Russia's Paris Hilton".

She is also known as a clothes designer and promoter of rubber boots. In June 2006 she created her first collection of such boots.

In 2004, Sobchak was identifed as a candidate to become Russia's first indigenous Space Tourist, flying to the International Space Station aboard a Soyuz rocket. She may have undertaken some initial tests and cosmonaut training, but the project came to nothing.

She also acted against the newly produced law that prohibits sharing of private life of Russian celebrities without their permission.

On 28 December, 2008, Sobchak was on an Aeroflot flight from Moscow to New York when she and other passengers determined that the pilot was drunk prior to take-off. Sobchak used her socialite status to call Aeroflot representatives and remove the pilot from the cockpit.
