As part of Wagner Group, he performed the functions of a reconnaissance officer and drone operator, and was awarded the Black Cross medal.

Pavel Prigozhin's entrepreneurial career started in 2018, when he became the founder of the Beta company. Gradually his business expanded, and since 2020 he has headed Lakhta Plaza. Prigozhin Jr. has connections with the Colors of Life art gallery, headed by Violetta Prigozhina, mother of Yevgeny Prigozhin.
