With the scheduled December 2025 visit to India by Russian President Vladimir Putin, a trip that has rewritten the headlines for Moscow's geopolitical moves amid renewed global focus, public curiosity again extends to his inner circle, most specifically his elder daughter, Mariya Putina.
Mariya Putina, formerly known as Maria Vorontsova, sometimes also referred to as Maria Faassen, is widely reported to be the elder daughter of Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, from his first marriage to Lyudmila Putina.
Professionally, Mariya has been termed a pediatric endocrinologist. She is also involved in genetic/medical research and linked with health care projects.
Katerina Tikhonova (born 31 August 1986) is Mariya's younger sister. Katerina is known to be involved in technology and academic initiatives and has held prominent positions in Russian scientific/academic organisations.
The father of Mariya Putina is Vladimir Putin, the current Russian president, while her mother is Lyudmila Putina.
Mariya Putina is 40 years old as of 2025, born on 28th of April 1985 in Leningrad - today Saint Petersburg, Soviet Union.
Mariya is reportedly married to a Dutch businessman named Jorrit Faassen; alternatively spelt as Joost or Jorrit Joost Faassen. Other sources report that the two lived in Moscow for a time, after living in the Netherlands, but there have been reports of separation or at least a low public profile.
The net worth of Mariya Putina has been reported to be around USD 10 million in many public biographies.
Most open-source profiles list Mariya Putina as being 5 feet 4 inches in height, or around 162 centimeters. Where there is a biography of any type, this measurement frequently appears.
