Statistics show that Forbes is one of the most popular magazines among women. This is not a magazine at all, but a source of extremely important information. Do you want to know about the most eligible bachelors and simply interesting men? All are presented on one page of the Russian-language version of Forbes.
Alisher Usmanov
The “Russian Billionaires” list has already been published (Forbes 2014), and the first place in it is reliably occupied by the same person who headed last year’s ranking. This is Alisher Usmanov - businessman, 60 years old, married (unfortunately). For the third year now, he has consistently ranked first in the ranking of the richest businessmen in Russia.
Who would have thought thirty years ago that a plastic bag business could give such a wonderful start? Currently, Megafon, Mail, the Kommersant publishing house, the Muz-TV television channel, the London Arsenal football club and much more should be associated with his name. Alisher Usmanov's wife is no less famous than himself. This is a talented and venerable rhythmic gymnastics coach Irina Viner.
Many athletes trained by her later became Olympic champions, for example, Alina Kabaeva, Elena Kanaeva, Yuri Barsukov. The couple Viner and Usmanov have been living together since the early 90s of the last century. They are a wonderful example of the fact that big money does not exclude mutual love and devotion.
Vagit Alekperov
The rating of Russian billionaires has mentioned the name of Vagit Alekperov since 2005. Since then, his position at the top of the list has changed, but has always remained very stable. He has been involved in gas and oil since the 80s. When you fill up at a Lukoil gas station, you buy gasoline from Vagit Alekperov.
The son of an oil tycoon is Yusuf Alikperov, a 24-year-old young man with a good education and incredible potential. Being one of the most eligible bachelors in Russia, he does not forget to carefully research his father’s business, master the basics of technology, the basics of production and management.
Mikhail Fridman
The Russian billionaires of 2013 have among their ranks and he laid the foundation for his business back in his student years. In those distant times, he organized discos, concerts, author's evenings, and sometimes simply sold theater tickets. Later there was also a business of delivering food to the population.
But today Mikhail Fridman owns Alfa-Bank, seventh in the banking ranking (by assets), our favorite mobile operator Vimpelcom (BeeLine brand), as well as almost half of the business of a large food retailer X5 Retail Group (Pyaterochka brand). .
In his free time, the businessman plays chess, watches his favorite movies, and also takes exciting helicopter rides. Friedman doesn't like injustice. Trying to restore it in relation to those who have not yet been lucky in life, he does a lot of charity work.
Vladimir Potanin
The list of Russian billionaires also includes another important person - Vladimir Potanin. MGIMO has long been known as a factory of highly qualified professionals. The distant year 1983 was no exception, and the future General Director of Norilsk Nickel, Vladimir Potanin, received a pass to the big life.
After the Olympics in Sochi, his personal brainchild, the Rosa Khutor ski resort, is considered the most fashionable vacation spot for athletic and progressive young people.
Mikhail Prokhorov
When it comes to an attractive, athletic man with a height of 204 cm, the first thing that comes to mind is basketball players. But in vain. Because you can be two meters tall, have an attractive appearance, and be not a basketball player, but an excellent entrepreneur. We are, of course, talking about the amazing Mikhail Prokhorov. Russian billionaires can be proud to have such an amazing person among their ranks.
Prokhorov gained fame after the 2012 presidential race. It was pleasant and very exciting to follow his election campaign. At least, that’s what women of almost all age categories thought.
It is interesting that the charming billionaire is still single. He is officially looking for a life partner, but... not a wife. Prokhorov is deeply convinced that people get married only because of domestic unsettlement. And on this side his rear is reliably protected.
By the way, surrounded by the close attention of many women, deep in business and politics, billionaire Prokhorov still found time for basketball. True, exclusively as the owner of the Nets club.
Roman Abramovich
There is one old Jewish joke. Rabinovich shows the couple his dacha, which is up for sale, with the words: “Name your price, we’ll laugh heartily, and then we’ll talk about business!”
But Roman Abramovich does not sell dachas, but buys them. In modern conditions, the prospects for developing and running a business are, to say the least, uncertain. Therefore, all Russian billionaires invest in stable and expensive real estate. Roman Abramovich, as a visionary entrepreneur, is among them. The authoritative newspaper The New York Post publicized his deal for a luxurious 6-story mansion in Manhattan.
Fans received another reason for fetish and madness in Manhattan - proximity to a Russian billionaire in a white mansion. However, socialites do not cherish dreams of marrying this prince, because they are afraid of his somewhat peculiar character. Memories of the scandalous divorce from his ex-wife and the mother of his five children are still fresh. In addition, the situation of the prolific businessman who gave birth to two children remains strangely uncertain today.
As they say, whatever Russian billionaires indulge in, as long as they delight us with their eccentric antics. And we will continue to follow their successes in business and personal life with pleasure and interest.
The amount of money is directly proportional to the emotional trepidation experienced, and if it is not yours, then to noble indignation. Every year, Forbes magazine adds fuel to the fire of both feelings, posting them on the Internet, both around the world and in individual countries. Those whose wealth is equal to (or exceeds) a billion full-fledged American dollars are lucky enough to be among the celestials.
Who would have thought that there are so many rich people in Russia! In total, no less than 102 citizens of the Russian Federation were included in the coveted list. The total wealth of the richest Russians is $410.8 billion.
10. Alisher Usmanov
The top ten Russian billionaires of 2018 is opened by a native of Uzbekistan. Alisher’s first earning penny came from the production of simple plastic bags, and now his fortune is $12.5 billion. Alisher's hobby is football, so he acquired the Arsenal football club.
9. Viktor Vekselberg
Victor made money in the hungry (although for some, “saintly”) nineties by selling scrap copper extracted from the wiring of abandoned Soviet facilities on the market. Then he became the owner of mines, and now he invests money in pumping equipment. He has a total of $14.4 billion.
8. Mikhail Fridman
Mikhail is a citizen of the world one hundred percent: he was born in Ukraine, received citizenship in Israel, and lives in his own comfortable castle in England (and it cost him $90 million). True, for a person with a fortune of 15.1 billion dollars, this is not that much money.
Mikhail rose to the occasion in oil and banking - it was he who founded Alfa Bank - one of the. He also entered into a fierce battle with the proud Britons for control of the THK-BP oil company - until it ceased to exist. Of course, Mikhail made a lot of money from this.
7. Alexey Melnichenko
Once upon a time, Alexey started with a network of exchangers (remember what role currency exchange offices played in Russia in the early 90s?). And now he has 15.5 billion dollars in his accounts. Having become a respectable businessman, Alexey took up a respectable hobby - now he collects paintings. The paintings are also solid, leaving their mark on world culture - for example, Claude Monet.
6. Vladimir Potanin
Like many of his compatriots in the turbulent nineties, Vladimir started in banking and, whenever possible, was involved in everything that could bring profit - agriculture, construction, show business, oil and gas, pharmaceutical production and ski resorts. This diversified strategy brought him an impressive capital of $15.9 billion.
5. Gennady Timchenko
Having made $16 billion, Gennady clearly pays great attention to a healthy lifestyle and personally grows organic apples. He eats them, probably washed down with bottled water of his own production. Of course, with such and such capital, you want to live longer!
4. Vagit Alekperov
Oil is life. It's a good life. This thesis is proven by the fate of Vagit Alekperov, who linked his fate with the oil industry and earned a fortune of $16.4 billion from it. It was he who founded the Lukoil company and he also suffered from Western sanctions in 2014. However, as we see, the atrocities of American imperialism had no effect on his well-being.
3. Leonid Mikhelson
The top three richest businessmen in Russia are opened by one of the strong business executives of the Yeltsin era, who rose to prominence on natural gas reserves. In total, Mikhelson's fortune amounts to $18 billion, two billion more than the fourth place in the ranking.
2. Alexey Mordashov
The foundations of Alexey’s wealth were laid by the management of the Severstal steel company, whose permanent director he was for almost twenty years. The second pillar of his wealth is one of the largest in the world. And in total, by the beginning of 2018, Alexey earned 18.7 billion dollars.
1. Vladimir Lisin
But who is at the very top of the Russian business food chain? Who is the lucky one who, from the heights of the money mountain, can look down contemptuously on those who live “from paycheck to paycheck”? The moment of truth has come: the richest man in Russia, according to Forbes, is Vladimir Lisin. His fortune totals an impressive $19.1 billion. We are even ready to believe that instead of water, his pool is filled with green crispy pieces of paper.
In general, Lisin’s biography can serve as an image for the self-made genre. He began his path to wealth from the depths of a coal mine, then he bought a factory or two (including the Novolipetsk steel plant), and everything started to spin. By the way, to the attention of potential expropriators: Lisin is engaged in sports shooting at a professional level and is quite capable of protecting his own property.
Billionaires are a rarity in the world. There are very few people around the globe who have achieved such financial status, so when you hear about a billionaire, you wonder how this person was able to earn so much money. The point is that everyone has their own story of how to achieve such wealth, and they are all interesting. Billionaires can be found in many countries around the world, including Russia. The ten richest billionaires in Russia are presented below.
10. Gennady Timchenko - $9 billion
Gennady Timchenko has dual citizenship - Russian and Finnish. Timchenko is welcomed and respected as a leading and highly respected businessman in both countries, however, he is not friendly in the United States, and Timchenko has been sanctioned and had his assets frozen due to the billionaire's connections to Russian leaders known to support the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine. His investment firm, Volga Group, made him a successful man, as well as one of the largest contributors to a huge bank account.
9. German Khan - $9.5 billion
German Khan made billions in the oil industry. He worked his way through various ventures, some of which were Alpha Investment Group and Letter1, and he was previously the chief executive of TNK-BP, which turned out to be a joint venture between Moscow and London oil firms.
Khan's interests extend beyond the oil fields: he is a co-founder of the Genesis group along with Mikhail Fridman, as well as a charitable group promoting Jewish culture and business. Herman is also an active supporter of LifeLine medical, donating millions of dollars to charity.
8. Vladimir Lisin - $11.3 billion
Steel production is the calling of Vladimir Lisin as a Russian tycoon who started in this field during the Soviet era. Lisin differs from most of his colleagues in that he knows not one side of the steel industry, but two - engineering (mechanical building) and business, and is considered one of the best experts in both areas. Throughout his career, he published more than a hundred articles on metallurgy and economics. In addition, Lisin is an active investor, and his investments include $600 million worth of shares in several coal mining companies. The billionaire owns two impressive properties, one of which is the Aberuchill Estate, located in Perthshire, Scotland on 3,300 acres. He is also the owner of the most expensive home, which costs more than $230 million.
7. Vagit Alekperov - $11.4 billion
Vagit Alekperov comes from a family that is well known to the oil industry. Currently, he is the representative of the second generation of his family working in the fields of Azerbaijan. Alekperov went on to head Lukoil, one of the leading oil producers, which made history as the first company to acquire American oil when it bought out Getty Oil in 2000. He is an innovator in the world of oil and is known throughout the world. The value of Alekperov’s network of companies is $11.4 billion.
6. Viktor Vekselberg - $12.6 billion
Viktor Vekselberg also has dual citizenship: in Russia and Ukraine. Vekselberg has strong ties to the Kremlin and has worked duly to try to revive the Russian economy. In addition, the billionaire is the owner of a huge collection of Faberge eggs and the largest owner of 15 eggs with his name and a price of about a million dollars. Vekselberg and the Kremlin created projects that were a huge financial benefit for the billionaire. Vekselberg also maintains contacts with many influential people, which have created for him one of the best reputations in the country.
5. Alexey Mordashov - $13.2 billion
Alexey Mordashov was born into a poor family. In fact, his family depended on government support because his father's steel mill was not enough to support the entire family. Mordashov graduated from Northumbria University, after which he received a position in the same factory where his father worked, but there were differences in their careers. 8 years after Alexey began working at the plant, he received the position of general director of the company, and later expanded his holdings to metallurgical enterprises in his home country, as well as companies in the United States. In addition to his love for his work, Mordashov finances many projects, which include 20 sports complexes, a homeless shelter and several theaters.
4. Mikhail Fridman - $13.4 billion
Mikhail Fridman was not always rich, although he was always hardworking and business-oriented. At first he worked as a window cleaner and hired students he knew to work in the business. Currently, Friedman is a successful businessman who has achieved success while maintaining energy assets. Some of the largest companies that he owns in whole or in part include Alpha Group and North Seal. He is known to be a mastermind in the field of foreign investment and holds several high positions regarding foreign investment, as well as a position in the Council of Entrepreneurs of the Soviet Union. Outside of his business relationships, Friedman's strong roots in Jewish culture led him to work to promote the culture and business itself and become the founder of the Genesis group.
3. Alisher Usmanov - $14.2 billion
He is the owner of USM Holdings, a company that is closely intertwined with the Megafon mobile network and the Mail.ru technology group, which have gained incredible value. But that's not all where his wealth came from. Usmanov also owns a 30% stake in the Arsenal football club and a Tudor mansion in Surrey, UK. Usmanov likes to spread his influence, although he is a philanthropist for several reasons, he has donated millions of dollars to cancer research, his philanthropy includes supporting Russian museums, many of which he has personally donated many important pieces of art. Usmanov may be one of the richest billionaires in Russia today, but he also spent 6 years in prison for fraud in 1980, although he was later acquitted.
2. Leonid Mikhelson - $15.6 billion
Leonid Mikhelson earned extraordinary wealth through the chemical and natural resources industries and is well educated in civil engineering. During the collapse of the USSR, Mikhelson earned a fortune and also achieved the position of general director of a leading gasoline and petrochemical company. At the same time, Mikhelson became the main shareholder of one of his first private companies, which after the collapse of the USSR was called “Nova”. Since then, Leonid Mikhelson has gained many high positions and became the main shareholder in various companies that have been extremely successful. For example, he held a position on the Supervisory Board of the Regional Development Bank of Russia. When Mikhelson is not in the office, he can be seen on his mega-yacht Pacific, which is not surprising for most people.
1. Vladimir Potanin - $15.8 billion
Vladimir Potanin had a number of successes in his life, which contributed to an increase in the size of his fortune. He was born into a prominent family and trained at the Ministry of Foreign Trade. He worked in this department for 10 years before taking the plunge in 1990 and starting his own company called Interros, focusing primarily on foreign trade. His company has grown to one of the largest in Russia and the world. He has also played a huge role in the preservation of art and literature and holds a seat on the board of the Guggenheim Foundation.
Video about the ten richest people in Russia according to Forbes magazine:
It would probably be difficult even for Forbes employees to calculate how many oligarchs there are in Russia: the country is large and the number of dollar millionaires in it is only increasing every year. However, in the TOP of the richest people in the Russian Federation, the same people compete for first place from year to year. So who are these Russian billionaires?
Oligarchs of Russia: photo, biography of Vladimir Potanin
In 2015, Potanin made his way into the oligarchs of Russia back in 2006: then the businessman became the sixth person in the country in terms of wealth. In 2007, the president of the Interros holding rose to 4th place. Then for several years he lost his position in the top five richest people in the country, until in 2015 he reached first place in the Forbes ranking.
Potanin once studied at MGIMO at the Faculty of International Economic Relations. In Soviet times, the future businessman was a member of the Komsomol and worked in the field of foreign trade of the USSR.
In the 90s, like many enterprising people, Potanin went into private business and founded one of the largest investment companies in Russia - Interros. A little later, Vladimir Olegovich received the post of vice president of MFK Bank and president of JSCB ONEXIM Bank. Thanks to loans-for-shares auctions in 1995, ONEXIM Bank became the owner of 51 percent of the shares of Norilsk Nickel. Today, Potanin has only 30.3% of the shares of MMC, but this was enough to turn him into the richest oligarch in Russia by 2015.
Mikhail Fridman
The list of Russian oligarchs has consistently included the owner of the Alfa Group consortium, Mikhail Fridman, for many years. In 2015, Fridman took second place in the Forbes ranking as the richest businessman in Russia.
And it all started with the fact that in the 1980s, Mr. Friedman resold scarce tickets to large ones and also organized discos. Then he decided to increase his income and created the Courier cooperative, which was engaged in window cleaning. In 1989, Friedman switched to selling photographic materials and computer equipment, and then began exporting oil. This is how the Alfa Group company appeared, which to this day feeds its creator.
But Friedman did not stop there and eventually joined the board of directors of Alfa Bank, invested in the mobile operator Life, the Belmarket and BelEvroset companies. Friedman also managed to visit the board of directors of the ORT association and the SIDANCO Oil Company.
Mikhail Fridman's personal capital in 2015 amounted to $14.6 billion.
Alisher Usmanov
Russian oligarchs often engage in charity work. In this regard, he is widely known for supporting the Russian rhythmic gymnastics team for many years, buying back and returning historical values to Russia, and even returning Nobel medals to their owners (the case of Jason Watson). In 2013, Usmanov even became the No. 1 philanthropist among Russian businessmen according to Forbes.
For three years (from 2012 to 2014), Usmanov held the title of the richest businessman in Russia. But in 2015, he changed first place to third: his personal fortune decreased from 18 billion dollars to 14.4.
Alisher Burkhanovich began his career with the production of plastic bags. Today, the businessman is fed by shares in companies such as USM Holdings, Megafon, Mail.ru Group and DST Global, as well as UTV Holding. Since 2014, Alisher Usmanov has had full control over the famous social network VKontakte.
Victor Vekselberg
Russian oligarchs are included not only in domestic rankings of influential people, but also in foreign lists. Viktor Vekselberg, for example, was in 113th place in the TOP of the most influential and richest people in the world as of 2010. In 2015, the businessman ranked 4th in Russia in terms of wealth: Vekselberg’s personal assets amount to $14.2 billion.
Viktor Feliksovich made a huge fortune from the Renova company he founded. Over time, the company has grown into a large business group that owns shares in the enterprises UC Rusal, Integrated Energy Systems, Russian Utility Systems and many others. Vekselberg also owns shares in some Swiss companies, for example, Oerlikon and Sulzer.
Vekselberg likes to repeat in interviews that money is not only difficult to earn, but also difficult to use it correctly. Considering the stability of the entrepreneur’s income, he knows how to properly distribute his funds.
Alexey Mordashov
Alexey Mordashov, who is considered the actual owner of OJSC Severstal, in 2011 was in second place as the country's richest entrepreneurs. However, Russian oligarchs have pushed the businessman out of the list, and in 2015 he ranks only fifth with his personal capital of $13 billion.
Mordashov began his career at the Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant. After some time, the businessman had already bought up all the shares of ChMK and put all the profits from the sale of metals to the West into his pocket. Today, the entrepreneur has 79% of the shares of the Severstal company, 88% of Nord Gold and 100% of the Power Machines enterprise.
Vagit Alekperov
In 2006, Vagit Alekperov had a personal capital of 12.7 billion rubles and took second place in the Forbes ranking of the richest businessmen in Russia. Since then, little has changed: Alekperov still has the same capital, but has dropped to sixth position on the list.
Vagit Yusufovich began his career in business in the 1980s, taking the post of General Director of Kogalymneftegaz. The entrepreneur did not leave the oil industry after the collapse of the Soviet Union and founded the LangepasUrayKogalymneft concern. Today, Vagit Alekperov has a 22.7% stake in Lukoil and, so to speak, is not in poverty.
Billionaires not only get rich, but sometimes go bankrupt. Every year the list called “former oligarchs of Russia” is replenished with new faces. Among them are such persons as banker Sergei Pugachev. Some bankrupt billionaires are wanted for embezzlement and embezzlement of property. They immigrate abroad, file lawsuits in European courts and try to defend their name in the press, claiming that the Russian authorities are to blame for all their troubles.
Business and politics have always been interconnected; in these areas there is always hidden and obvious confrontation. Everyone protects their interests in every possible way. Therefore, probably no one will ever know the real truth.
Top three: Leonid Mikhelson ($14.4 billion), Mikhail Fridman ($13.3 billion), Alisher Usmanov ($12.5 billion)

What we thought
Forbes has been ranking the world's largest fortunes for decades. For this purpose, the journal uses a specially developed methodology, the basis of which is as follows:1. Our assessment of the entrepreneur’s condition is the value of the assets he owns: shares of companies, land plots, real estate, as well as personal property, etc.
2. All public companies are valued by market capitalization. Closed companies are valued based on information about sales volumes, profits, and equity; a comparison is made with similar companies that are traded on the stock exchange or have been the subject of purchase and sale in the recent past. We try to be conservative and evaluate the property of entrepreneurs on the principle of “at least not cheaper.”
3. In this list, the price of companies is fixed as of February 12, 2016. The ages of the list participants are as of April 15, 2016.
4. Russian entrepreneurs often transfer shares of their enterprises to their closest relatives. Given this circumstance, Forbes attributes all assets managed by an entrepreneurial family to the head of the family - if the relatives do not actively participate in the management of the company of which they are co-owners.
5. The list includes only those Russian citizens who earned the bulk of their capital privately, without being a civil servant.
6. The list includes only the 200 richest businessmen in Russia, the lower level of the ranking is a fortune of $350 million. If you did not find any famous entrepreneur on the list, then Forbes estimates his fortune at less than $350 million.
The information provided in the Forbes rating is an expert and journalistic assessment of the total volume of property ownership by the indicated persons. This information is not official and can only be used privately.
