Qulybayev began his career in business in the Kazakh Ministry of Finance in the 1990s. He became Vice President of Kazakhstan's state-owned oil company Kazakhoil in 1997 and three years later in 2000 he became Chief Executive Officer of KazTransOil , a subsidiary of Kazakhoil that manages the company's pipelines.

Accused of money laundering and corruption

In September 2010, the Swiss Public Prosecutor's Office opened a case against Qulybajew for money laundering . His wife, Dinara Qulybajewa, had bought a villa on Lake Geneva in Switzerland for the fantasy price of 75 million francs; National Councilor Carlo Sommaruga suspects that this was used to carry out money laundering. The said amount of funds of unknown origin allegedly laundered by Qulybayev is $ 600 million, which is said to be at least in part bribes from 2000 to 2005, when he was CEO of KazTransOil.

Private life

Qulybayev is married to Dinara Nursultanqysy Nazarbayeva, one of the three daughters of Nursultan Nazarbayev. The couple have three children, a son and two daughters. He is also the President of the Kazakh Boxing Federation.

His fortune is, according to the Forbes Magazine about 1.1 billion US dollars . He is the main shareholder of Kazakhstan's Halyk Bank .

Timur Qulybayev caused a stir in the UK when he bought Prince Andrew's Sunninghill Park property in 2007 for £ 15 million, £ 3 million above the property's value, only to let it fall into disrepair.
