He is an attorney and a businessman. Also, he is a close friend and nominal holder of assets belonging to Vladimir Putin. He has been involved in and financially benefited from corruption schemes designed to provide illicit sources of income for Putin and his closest associates. Egorov's law firm has been the exclusive provider of legal services to the government for years, securing government contracts in violation of anti-corruption and public procurement regulations. He financed the construction of Putin's palace in Gelendzhik at an estimated cost of 1.3 billion USD. In 2015, together with two other classmates of Vladimir Putin, Ilgam Ragimov and Viktor Khmarin, he created a company that accumulated funds received from oligarchs and state-owned companies, transferring 31 million USD (at the exchange rate on the dates of payment) for the palace construction. Additionally, under Egorov's control, a company called Axis Investments dismantled vineyards and a winery integrated into the palace complex, investing 53.7 million USD in them.
