Kamen Dobrev is a man who has made a living through his love for computers and technology. But he is popularly known as the father of Nina Dobrev, an actress. Most people know Nina from the show The Vampire Diaries, where she played the role of Katherine and Elaine.

Kamen hails from Bulgaria and his birth month is June. His birth year remains unclear, so we can't tell his exact age. This article aims to provide some information on Nina's father's life. So, what do we know about him? Well, let's find out.

What Is Kamen Doing Today? 

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Kamen's career involves computers and technology. So, what exactly is it about computers that he does? And what works has he done in the past?

Well, according to his LinkedIn profile, he today works at DXC Technology. He is the RDC Lead at the company. He took over the role in December 2018 and had been working since then.

That's not all, as Kamen has previously worked at tech giant IBM. He worked as Senior System Administrator at IBM Global Services for three years, from 2002 to 2005.

Is Married To A Painter

Kamen Dobrev is a man who loves technology and computers. You would think he would choose a woman from a similar field to spend the rest of his life with, but no. He fell in love with a woman named Michaela Constantine, a painter. 

Sounds interesting. Learning how these two crossed paths and fell for each other would be fantastic. Unfortunately, the two haven't provided us with the details of their love life. But one thing we do know about them is that they got married on May 7, 2002. Also, another thing we know about their relationship is that their love is still going strong.

Kamen may not be present on social media, but his wife is. On the 19th Anniversary of their wedding, she took to her Insta to talk about it. She uploaded some pics of herself and her husband and wrote:

Celebrating 19 years together! Merci pour la belle aventure, mon amour!

What Is The Net Worth Of The Dobrev Family?

Kamen Dobrev is a successful man who has been involved with big tech companies like IBM and HP throughout his career. His successful career means he has also made some considerable money from it. His net worth is believed to be $5 Million.

But he is not the only one making money. His wife, Michaela Constantine, has made a career as an artist. Although not rich as her husband, she has made a respectable income through paint with a net worth of $1 Million. Her painting company, Paint A World, has made a significant contribution to her wealth. It is an art and cultural workshop company.

Now let's talk about the richest one in the family, Nina Dobrev. She is more prosperous than her parents, with a net worth of $11 Million. Her wealth, however, doesn't just come from her movie works. Besides movies, she also has co-founded a wine company Fresh Vine Wine

Know More About Kamen's Daughter

Nikolina, popularly known as Nina Dobrev, is an actress known for her work in The Vampire Diaries, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, and Degrassi: The Next Generation. Often mistaken as Victoria Justice, the actress was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, on January 9, 1989.

As mentioned above, she is also the reason behind Kamen's fame. Tati (as Nina calls her father) has a good relationship with her daughter. On father's day, she uploaded a video of her and her father singing in a car. She wrote:

Thank goodness you’re a better dad than singer. Luckily, we can work on that. #HappyFathersDay love you so much

Kamen Used To Move A Lot

Kamen's daughter has talked about how often she had to change places as a kid, which means her parents constantly moved. Probably, because of Kamen's work.

Nina said this while talking to Ocean Drive in 2017. She also spoke about it helping her learn about many different cultures. She said:

I moved around a lot. My parents grew up in Bulgaria, and I was born and lived there for a very short amount of time before we moved to Canada. Every summer we'd go back to Bulgaria and do a lot of road trips to Turkey and Romania and all the neighboring countries, so I definitely got the travel bug young. I didn't have a privileged life, but I had the privilege of experiencing many cultures and meeting people from all walks of life.

Kamen Has A Son As Well

Nina might be responsible for Kamen Dobrev's fame. But she isn't his only child. He has a son named Alexander Dobrev. He was born on March 13, 1984.

Alex is the oldest of two children. Unlike his sister Nina, he lives a relatively quiet life. There isn't much presence of him on the internet. But his sister has shared some pictures of his brother. 

On his birthday, she posted both a present and young pictures of her brother on her Insta. She wrote:

happy birthday Alex.
here’s to changing yet staying the same
#JuiceToTequila
love you, brother from the same mother

Education Background

It wouldn't take a lot to assume that Kamen Dobrev must be a highly educated man looking at the companies he has worked at and the job titles he has been given. And you wouldn't be wrong to assume that. Kamen holds a Master's Degree.

However, his LinkedIn page doesn't say in what field he did his degree, but it must be something related to IT and technology, looking at his working career. However, one thing mentioned is that he did his education at Universitet po Arhitektura, an institute in Bulgaria. He joined in 1982 and graduated in 1986

His Son-In-Law Is An Olympian

Nina Dobrev has found the love of her life. And, no, he is not a movie actor like her. She is married to Shaun White, a professional snowboarder. And he is no ordinary snowboarder. Kamen's son-in-law is a three-time Olympic gold medalist. 

Nicholas Hautman from US Magazine reports that the news of their possible relationship came out in February 2020 because of similar trip photos and US Weekly confirming they were dating in April 2020

The two are visibly in love with each other. They are also usually posting about each other on their Instagram. They also dressed up as Stranger Things characters at the 2022 Halloween.
