In second place is the Spanish businessman, founder of the Zara chain Amancio Ortega; the magazine estimated his fortune at $67 billion. Third place went to the American investor, founder of Berkshire Hathaway - $60.8 billion.
In fourth place was the Mexican TV mogul Carlos Slim ($50 billion).
Along with his high position in the list of the richest businessmen, Slim “won” leadership in a kind of anti-rating - in a year he lost more than a third of his fortune, $27.1 billion, which is approximately equal to the size of the Honduran economy.
The businessman's failures are associated with new telecommunications legislation in Mexico, the weak Mexican peso and the economic crisis in Brazil.
Fifth place was taken by the key shareholder ($45.2 billion), who, according to another rating and in contrast to Carlos Slim, became one of the most successful businessmen in 2015. In September last year, compared to the same period in 2014, his personal wealth increased by $16.5 billion.
The top ten richest people included: the creator of the social network Facebook ($44.6 billion), co-founder, chairman of the board of directors and chief technology officer of the corporation ($43.6 billion), founder, former mayor of New York ($40 billion), investors and brothers Charles and ($39.6 billion each).
In total, there are eight Americans, a Spaniard and a Mexican in the top 10 richest people in the world.
Over the year, the businessman increased his personal wealth by $2.7 billion.
At the same time, he displaced the previous leader of the list - co-owner of Alfa Group (with a fortune of $13.3 billion), who rose in the list by only 5 positions over the year, from 68th to 63rd place. The billionaire's assets decreased by $1.3 billion year-on-year in March 2016.
The same applies: the personal wallet of last year’s leader in the Russian rating, co-owner of “” and the Interros holding company, “lost weight” by $3.3 billion, to $12.8 billion, and his position in the world rating also weakened. He now ranks 78th instead of 60th.
The top 5 Russian businessmen in the Forbes world list is closed by a Russian businessman who fell under US sanctions, Gennady Timchenko.
The magazine estimated his fortune at $11.4 billion, while, unlike most of his colleagues, he managed to increase his assets by $0.7 billion over the year.
Also within a year, he managed to get into the top hundred billionaires, gaining a foothold in 85th place.
At the same time, Gennady Timchenko was included in the rating of “kings of government contracts”, taking, according to Forbes, third place in terms of the volume of government contracts won.
Also in the top 10 Russian rich people are ($10.9 billion, minus $2.1 billion, 93rd place), ($10.5 billion, minus $3.7 billion, 98th place), ($9.3 billion, minus $2.3 billion, 116th place), ($8.9 billion, minus $3.3 billion, 124th place) and
Top three: Leonid Mikhelson ($14.4 billion), Mikhail Fridman ($13.3 billion), Alisher Usmanov ($12.5 billion)

[Forbes.ru, 04/14/2016, “Khodorkovsky and Lebedev returned to the Forbes list of 200 richest Russians”: Former top managers of the oil company YUKOS returned to the Forbes list of 200 richest businessmen in Russia in 2016 Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Platon Lebedev, Vladimir Dubov And Mikhail Brudno. [...]
Before his arrest in 2003, Forbes estimated Khodorkovsky's fortune at $15 billion. He topped the first ranking of the 200 richest Russian businessmen, published in 2004. Now the former head of Yukos occupies 170th place in the list with a fortune of $ 500 million.
Khodorkovsky is currently a private investor in the Quadrum Global fund, whose assets under management are estimated at $2 billion. The beneficiaries of the fund, along with Khodorkovsky, are his former Yukos partners Platon Lebedev, Vladimir Dubov and Mikhail Brudno. They were ranked 164th, 159th and 157th in the Forbes ranking, respectively, with a fortune of $500 million each. - Insert K.ru]
In the time since the publication of the previous list, the number of dollar billionaires in Russia has decreased from 88 to 77. 19 of them managed to increase their wealth, despite the crisis. Over the course of a year, the combined wealth of the 200 richest entrepreneurs in Russia decreased from $408 billion to $360 billion. This is the worst result since 2011, when Forbes increased the number of participants in the ranking from 100 to 200.
Russian Forbes publishes the rating of 200 richest businessmen in Russia for the 13th time. The assessment of wealth, which is given in it, consists of the value of the assets owned by the businessman: shares of companies, land plots, real estate, as well as other property. Public companies are valued based on market capitalization, while private companies are valued based on sales volumes, profits, and equity. In addition, a comparison is made with similar companies that trade on the stock exchange or have been the subject of purchase and sale in the recent past. In the 2016 rating, the price of companies is fixed as of February 12, the age of participants is as of April 13. Original of this material

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.
Every year, the popular economic magazine Forbes publishes a ranking of oligarchs in Russia and around the world. Every year one oligarch surpasses another in terms of his financial condition. It is prestigious to be included in the lists of this magazine; there is always a real struggle for a place in the top ten. The oligarchs of Russia are the global and Russian basis of the economy. Let's see which of the richest people in our country made the magazine's list in 2016 and compare them with the previous year.
Who tops the top ten list of the richest people in Russia?
Every year the list of the mighty ten changes its composition of the rich. In 2016, Leonid Viktorovich Mikhelson became the richest person in Russia.
The main assets of this oligarch are the Novatek corporation and Sibur (holding). Mikhelson has major stakes in these companies. What can we say, oil and gas are the most important mineral resources. Whoever owns them owns the world.
Just five years ago, Leonid Viktorovich did not have even half of the wealth that he has now. As of 2016, his capital (official) is $14.4 billion!
In the world rankings, the oligarch took an honorable sixtieth place in 2016, entering the top hundred richest people in the world. He has held this pedestal in his strong hands since 2015. In 2014, according to the Russian rating, he took seventh place, and in the world list - only one hundred and fifth.
Biography of Leonid Viktorovich Mikhelson
The oligarchs of Russia that we know today were not all originally born into wealthy families. So Mikhelson was born into an ordinary family: his father was engaged in the construction of oil pipelines at the Kuibyshevtruboprovodstroy company, where he later became a director. Mom - Praskovya Fedorovna - also worked in this production.
Leonid was born in 1955, on August 11. He graduated from a regular high school in the city of Kuibyshev. After school I entered the Institute of Civil Engineering.
After graduation, he worked as a foreman in Surgut, building the first gas pipeline connecting Urengoy with Chelyabinsk.
In 1984, he received the position of chief engineer of Ryazantruboprovodstroy, in 1987 he took over from his father the main post of Kuibyshevtrudoprovodstroy, which in 1991 became the Nova joint-stock company. From 1987 to 1994, he fully managed this enterprise, in 2003 he became the chairman of the board of OAO NOVATEK.
In 2008, he also headed the chairmanship of OAO Stroytransgaz, since 2011 - Chairman of the Board of Directors of ZAO Sibur Holding.
Married. He calls traveling and work his hobbies.
Second place
Mikhail Fridman, whose fortune is estimated, again, officially, at 13.3 billion dollars, is on the second step of the list of ten. He is in sixty-third place in the world rankings.
Mikhail Maratovich has not given his second place to anyone for several years in a row, but he has not risen to the first either. A year ago, his assets fell in value by 1.3 billion, it was this factor that prevented the oligarch from leading the list in 2016 and bypassing Leonid Viktorovich.
Fridman is a co-owner of the Alfa Group holding. This holding consists of many companies that are engaged in different activities.
Mikhail Maratovich, as one of the richest people in the world, is also involved in charity work. He supports the Jewish Foundation, which provides assistance to Jews in Europe.
Biography of Mikhail Fridman
The oligarch was born in the city of Lvov on April 2, 1964. His family was already living well then. His parents were engineers, his father was awarded the State Prize. It was received for the creation of identification systems in the field of military aviation.
Mikhail entered the Institute of Alloys and Steel in Moscow in 1986. There he was a real ringleader. He constantly organized discos in an informal club created with his own hands, from his own money he paid musicians 30 rubles per evening! In the USSR this was not small money at all.
After graduating from the institute, Fridman gets a job at the Elektrostal plant as an engineer, while doing business at the same time. In 1988, he opened the Courier company, which was engaged in washing and cleaning windows. In Moscow, these services began to be in great demand, since there are a lot of high-rise buildings where there were offices or just where wealthy people lived.
In 1989, together with the entrepreneur Alfimov and a couple of other businessmen, they created the Alfa-Photo company. This company sold computers, equipment and photographic equipment.
In the same year, he began to cooperate with Switzerland, the joint company was named Alfa-Eco. The main activity of the company was the export of metallurgical products and oil. Subsequently, he became one of the directors of Alfa-Bank, Sidanco (oil industry), Russian Public Television and Trade House Perekrestok.
Mikhail Fridman was married, but is currently divorced. Has three daughters and a son. Children of Russian oligarchs in most cases become companions of their parents, live on the ready. But Friedman decided otherwise: he announced that he would give almost all the acquired wealth to charity, and let the children build their own careers. His policy towards children is as follows: he raised, trained, and their further fate is only a matter of their own efforts.
Third position on the Forbes list
Alisher Usmanov was honored to close the top three richest businessmen in Russia in 2016. He was quite a bit ahead of another businessman - Potanin, who took fourth place.
Alisher Burkhanovich officially owns 12.5 billion dollars, according to the amount of which he took seventy-third place in the world list. Metallurgy is its main cash flow. The second source is the latest information technologies, Mail.ru Group. It was these technologies that allowed the businessman to almost double his capital and for several years to be among the ten most influential people in the country.
How did Alisher Burkhanovich begin his career?
Alisher Usmanov is a native of the city of Chust (Uzbek SSR). He was born on September 9, 1953. There were four children in the family, Alisher was the eldest. My father was a prosecutor.
After reading The Three Musketeers, the boy became seriously interested in swords - so that his parents sent him to study fencing. And not in vain, because after a couple of years Alisher became a member of the youth team of the republic, and after some time he joined the USSR national team.
In 1976 he graduated from MGIMO with a degree in International Law.
He began working at the Academy of Sciences as an ordinary researcher. Then he became a senior in the Central Committee of the Komsomol in Uzbekistan, then the director of the Association of Foreign Economics in the Committee for the Protection of Peace.
In 1980, he was sent to prison for eight years on three counts. But he did not have to sit for the whole term, he was released two years earlier, as he "fully repented of his deed." Later, in 2000, he was fully rehabilitated, saying, having decided that his crime was fabricated and his competitors simply set him up.
Having moved to Russia, Alisher starts his own business - the production of bags and the supply of tobacco products. In 1997, he graduated in banking. In 2006, he became the full owner of the Kommersant publishing house, purchasing one hundred percent of the shares. A year later, three-quarters of the shares of the Muz-TV channel also transferred to him.
Usmanov later becomes one of the co-owners of Gazprominvestholding, which is a subsidiary of Gazprom. He owns large shares of shares in various global companies: Apple, Yota and many others. Among Russian companies, he owns part of the shares of Megafon, the U TV channel, the Disney TV channel, the Intercross company and others.
Usmanov is also involved in charity work and has his own part in the Russian football club, as he often sponsors teams.
Interesting fact: when in 2015 the FC owed coach Fabio Capello more than 400 thousand million in salary, Usmanov gave these funds to the club on credit!
The wives of Russian oligarchs, according to many people, are beautiful stupid dolls. But in most cases this is not the case. For example, Usmanov's wife Irina works as a coach in the Russian national team. Since 1992 she has been training gymnasts.
Vladimir Olegovich Potanin - fourth place
Vladimir Olegovich Potanin did not reach the third place a little. Interros is its main asset, the second is Norilsk Nickel. This man’s fortune decreased by more than three billion in a year and became 12.1 billion.
If assets had not fallen in price, then Potanin would have been able to take first place, his fortune was more than 15 billion.

Born on September 26, 1965 in Cherepovets in an ordinary family, his father worked at a metallurgical plant as an electrical engineer. Alexey Alexandrovich himself paved his way to the list of the richest people on the planet.
Mordashov is currently divorced. The wives of Russian oligarchs receive a good portion of the property upon divorce. But the divorce of this couple took place long before Alexey Alexandrovich earned a huge fortune. When the ex-husband became a billionaire, his wife decided to take part of the capital through the court. Initially, her claim was satisfied - she received part of the shares of the parent companies. In 2003, Alexey Mordashov appealed the court decision, and all powers were removed from the judge who satisfied the claim of his ex-wife, since she made the wrong decision and gave the oligarch’s ex-wife the funds earned by Alexey after the divorce.
As a result, the ex-wife was left with absolutely nothing, since she could not return the previously allocated funds to Alexey. Her apartment was seized.
Seventh place on the list

The oligarchs of Russia deserve respect, since their path has passed since Soviet times, through the collapse of the country and perestroika, default, and various crises. But, despite all this, they managed to maintain and expand their business, becoming one of the hundred richest people in the world!
This year, 98 Russians were included in the Forbes list. This is less than last year, when there were 106 dollar billionaires in Russia. For many years, Forbes has not seen Russian businessmen whose wealth exceeded $20 billion. The last time was in 2011, when Forbes estimated the wealth of NLMK beneficiary Vladimir Lisin at $24 billion. This year, five immigrants from Russia were able to reach the $20 billion mark.
The main shareholder of Novatek and Sibur was in first place. Leonid Mikhelson with $24 billion. He was already the richest businessman in the country in 2016-2017. In the global ranking, Forbes rose over the year from 64th to 32nd place.
Leonid Mikhelson is the founder and chairman of the board of Novatek, the largest independent gas producer in Russia. In 2011, he entered the capital of the petrochemical company Sibur, and in 2017 he became its main shareholder with a 48% stake, having bought 17% of the shares from Kirill Shamalov. Mikhelson's main partner in both companies is Gennady Timchenko. In 2017, Novatek completed the construction of the first line of a gas liquefaction plant on the Yamal Peninsula with a capacity of 17.4 million tons. And in 2019, Sibur is going to open one of the largest petrochemical enterprises in the country, Zapsibneftekhim, in Tobolsk.
Took second place Vladimir Lisin from $21.3 billion.
From the mid-1980s until the collapse of the USSR, he worked at the Karaganda Metallurgical Plant. Then, together with two future billionaires Iskander Makhmudov and Oleg Deripaska, he was an employee of the British Trans World Group (TWG), the largest player in the Russian metallurgy at that time. When in the 1990s, the brothers Mikhail and Lev Cherny, who owned TWG, began to divide the business, Lisin was not at a loss and was able to establish control over one of the company’s most promising plants - the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant (NLMK).
Lukoil emerged from a concern that united three oil refineries. After the company's privatization in 1993, Alekperov became its largest shareholder and permanent president. Now Lukoil is the third Russian company by capitalization after Sberbank and Rosneft, and Alekperov and his family own 26% of its shares.

Hello everyone, Vyacheslav Bulenkov is with you and in this issue, I will share the TOP 10 richest people in Russia in the Forbes world ranking for 2015. On March 2, the American Forbes published its traditional, 29th, global ranking of billionaires. This time, the list included 88 businessmen from Russia, 33 less than a year earlier, and Vladimir Potanin became the leader for the first time - he displaced Alisher Usmanov from the first “national” line. Russian participants in the rating have become noticeably “impoverished” over the year - the reason for this is the crisis in the country’s economy and Western sanctions due to the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and the war in Donbass. In terms of the number of dollar billionaires, Russia is now inferior not only to the United States and China, but also to Germany and India. 10. Mikhail Prokhorov Net worth: $9.9 billion Change over the year: -$1 billion Position in the world ranking: 125 Athlete, banker, metallurgist, playboy, investor, media mogul, politician and owner of the NBA club - all this is Mikhail Prokhorov. In 2012, he shocked all of Russia with his unexpected candidacy for the post of president of the country - and according to the election results he collected a quite respectable 8% of the vote. But since then the businessman’s political career has faded. His most notable American project is the construction of a new arena for the Nets. In December 2013, he acquired 27% in Uralkali, the world's largest producer of potash fertilizers. 9. Gennady Timchenko Net worth: $10.7 billion Change for the year: -$4.6 billion Position in the world ranking: 118 Gennady Timchenko owns shares in many companies in the gas, transport and construction industries. Among its assets are the largest gas producer Novatek, the petrochemical holding Sibur, the railway carrier Transoil and the insurance company Sogaz. Being one of the most influential people in the country, the billionaire, who is considered a close friend of Vladimir Putin, came under US sanctions in 2014. Among Timchenko’s non-business workload is the supervision of Russian hockey: he chairs the KHL board of directors and holds the post of president of the St. Petersburg club SKA. 8. Vladimir Lisin Net worth: $11.6 billion Change over the year: -$5 billion Position in the world ranking: 107 Vladimir Lisin made his fortune in metallurgy, railway transportation and logistics. Previously, he became a partner in the Trans-World Group, which over several years has grown into a leading Russian exporter of aluminum and steel. By that time, Lisin had accumulated a wealth of experience in managing metallurgical production, so that during the division of assets in 2000, he naturally received ownership of the industry giant, the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works. The billionaire also controls the logistics holding UCL, which owns the First Freight Company. 7. Leonid Mikhelson Net worth: $11.7 billion Change for the year: -$3.9 billion Position in the world ranking: 105 Leonid Mikhelson is the main owner of the gas producer Novatek, the chemical group Sibur and the First United Bank. In July 2014, the United States and the European Union imposed sanctions against Novatek, putting pressure on Timchenko's business partner, who is considered a close friend of Putin in the West. The company remains the controlling shareholder of the Yamal LNG project, which is developing despite sanctions pressure. To support it, Novatek requested $2.3 billion in support from the National Welfare Fund. The total cost of the project is estimated at $27 billion, Chinese investors are ready to invest $10 billion. 6. Vagit Alekperov Net worth: $12.2 billion Change for the year: -$1.4 billion Position in the world ranking: 96 Vagit Alekperov heads Lukoil, the largest oil company in Russia, which, in particular, is developing the West Qurna 2 field in Iraq, possessing some of the richest deposits on the planet. The billionaire does not have a reputation as a businessman from the inner circle of President Vladimir Putin, which did not save Lukoil from US sanctions in September 2014. Having gone through all the career stages in the oil industry, at the end of the USSR the future billionaire even managed to work as an industry minister. In 1991, he privatized three large fields and founded Lukoil. Alekperov is the author of the book “Russian Oil: Past, Present and Future.” 5. Alexey Mordashov Net worth: $13 billion Change over the year: +$2.5 billion Position in the world ranking: 89 In mid-January 2015, Putin received Mordashov and made the metallurgical magnate promise not to allow unreasonable investments. Against the backdrop of bad market conditions for Russia, the billionaire got rid of all American assets - his company Severstal is now focusing on the national market. At the end of 2013, the businessman, together with entrepreneur Yuri Kovalchuk, close to Putin, bought a 50% stake in the fourth largest Russian mobile operator Tele2 Russia. Also, together with Kovalchuk, Mordashov is a shareholder of Rossiya Bank, which is under US and EU sanctions due to the “pro-presidential” reputation of its main shareholder. In 2011, the owner of Severstal increased his stake in the Power Machines holding by purchasing 25% from Siemens. 4. Viktor Vekselberg Net Worth: $14.2 billion Year-on-year change: -$3 billion World ranking position: 73 In 2010, the Russian authorities chose Viktor Vekselberg to curate the project of Silicon Valley's national counterpart, the Skolkovo innovation city. Since then, three billionaire companies have already appeared among the residents of the project who received grants from the state. In 2013, the businessman, along with Mikhail Fridman and Leonard Blavatnik, sold a 50% stake in the TNK-BP oil company to the state-owned Rosneft for $28 billion. Vekselberg earned his first million by selling scrap metal. In the 1990s, he founded the holding company SUAL. In 2007, SUAL merged its assets with the Rusal group and the mining company Glencore, and thus the world's largest aluminum producer UC Rusal was born. In addition, Vekselberg has stakes in petrochemical, consumer and telecommunications businesses. 3. Alisher Usmanov Net Worth: $14.4 billion Change over the year: -$4.2 billion Position in the world ranking: 71 Alisher Usmanov lost the status of the richest man in Russia after three years of leadership, but continues to be a key figure in several major sectors of the national economy at once . Among his assets are the metallurgical giant Metalloinvest, the country's second largest mobile operator Megafon, the Internet holding Mail.ru Group and the Kommersant publishing house. The billionaire's most successful investments internationally are in the tech industry: He was an early investor in Facebook, but sold all of his shares in the social network in 2013 to invest in rising Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and Chinese budget smartphone maker Xiaomi. Usmanov also remains a shareholder of the London football club Arsenal. 2. Mikhail Fridman Net worth: $14.6 billion Change over the year: -$3 billion Position in the world ranking: 68 Together with his friends from study, Mikhail Fridman controls Alfa Group, the largest private financial and industrial group in Russia. In 2011, Alfa-controlled mobile operator VimpelCom acquired the telecommunications holding of Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris and became the sixth largest player in the global market. Fridman and partners also own the second largest chain of stores in Russia – X5 Retail Group. 1. Vladimir Potanin Net worth: $15.4 billion Change over the year: +$2.8 billion Position in the world ranking: 60 Vladimir Potanin, a former employee of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations, met his future partner Mikhail Prokhorov in 1991. In 1993, the partners created Oneximbank, which lured IBES clients to serve them. Oneximbank became a platform for the construction of the Interros holding. With the support of the state, the billionaire became the largest private investor in the Winter Olympics in Sochi - he built the Rosa Khutor ski resort. And so, this was the TOP 10 richest people in Russia in the Forbes world ranking for 2015.
