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.
