Hello everyone, Vyacheslav Bulenkov is with you and in this issue, I will share the TOP 10 richest people in Russia in the world Forbes ranking for 2015. On March 2, the American Forbes unveiled the traditional, 29th in a row, world ranking of billionaires. This time, the list included 88 businessmen from Russia, 33 fewer than a year earlier, and for the first time Vladimir Potanin was the leader - he removed Alisher Usmanov from the first "national" line. The Russian participants in the rating have noticeably "poorer" over the year - this is due to the crisis in the country's economy and the sanctions of the West due to the seizure of Crimea from Ukraine and the war in Donbass. In terms of the number of dollar billionaires, Russia is now behind not only the United States and China, but also Germany and India. 10. Mikhail Prokhorov Status: $ 9.9 billion Change over the year: - $ 1 billion Position in the world ranking: 125 Athlete, banker, metallurgist, playboy, investor, media mogul, politician and NBA club owner - all this is Mikhail Prokhorov. In 2012, he shocked the whole of Russia with his unexpected nomination for the presidency of the country - and, following the election results, collected a quite worthy 8% of the vote. But since then, the businessman's political career has faded. His most notable American project is building a new arena for the Nets. In December 2013, it acquired a 27% stake in Uralkali, the world's largest producer of potash fertilizers. 9. Gennady Timchenko Status: $ 10.7 billion Change over the year: - $ 4.6 billion Position in the world ranking: 118 Gennady Timchenko owns stakes 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 Insurance Company Sogaz. As one of the country's most powerful people, the billionaire, considered a close friend of Vladimir Putin, fell under US sanctions in 2014. Among the non-business workload of Timchenko is the supervision of Russian ice hockey: he chairs the KHL board of directors and holds the presidency of the SKA St. Petersburg club. 8. Vladimir Lisin Status: $ 11.6 billion Change over the year: - $ 5 billion Position in the world ranking: 107 Vladimir Lisin made a fortune in metallurgy, rail transportation and logistics. Previously, he became a partner in the Trans-World Group, which over the years has grown into a leading Russian exporter of aluminum and steel. By that time, Lisin had accumulated rich experience in managing metallurgical production, so that when the assets were divided in 2000, he naturally acquired the giant of the industry - the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant. The billionaire also controls the logistics holding UCL, which owns Freight One. 7. Leonid Mikhelson Condition: $ 11.7 billion Change over the year: - $ 3.9 billion Position in the world rating: 105 Leonid Mikhelson is the main owner of Novatek gas producer, Sibur chemical group and First United Bank. In July 2014, the United States and the European Union imposed sanctions against Novatek, putting pressure on business partner Timchenko, 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 the pressure from the sanctions. To support him, Novatek requested $ 2.3 billion in support from the National Wealth Fund. The total cost of the project is estimated at $ 27 billion, and Chinese investors are ready to invest $ 10 billion. 6. Vagit Alekperov Status: $ 12.2 billion Change over the year: - $ 1.4 billion Position in the world ranking: 96 Vagit Alekperov heads Lukoil - the largest oil company Russia, which, in particular, is developing the West Qurna 2 field in Iraq, which has some of the richest deposits on the planet.

Having passed 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 Oil of Russia: Past, Present and Future. 5. Alexey Mordashov Status: $ 13 billion Change over the year: + $ 2.5 billion Position in the world ranking: 89 In mid-January 2015, Putin received Mordashov and took from the metallurgical tycoon a promise not to allow unreasonable investments. Against the backdrop of a bad market environment 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 an entrepreneur close to Putin, Yuri Kovalchuk, bought 50% of the shares of the fourth largest Russian mobile operator Tele2 Russia. Also, together with Kovalchuk, Mordashov is a shareholder of Bank Rossiya, which is under US and EU sanctions due to the “pro-presidential” reputation of its main shareholder. In 2011, the owner of Severstal increased its stake in the Power Machines holding by purchasing 25% from Siemens. 4. Viktor Vekselberg Status: $ 14.2 billion Change over the year: - $ 3 billion Position in the world ranking: 73 The Russian authorities have chosen Viktor Vekselberg to be the curator of the project of the national analogue of Silicon Valley - the Skolkovo innovation city - in 2010.

In 2013, the businessman, together 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 from the sale of scrap metal. In the 1990s, he founded the SUAL holding company. In 2007, SUAL merged its assets with the Rusal group and the mining company Glencore, thus creating the world's largest aluminum producer UC Rusal. In addition, Vekselberg has stakes in petrochemical, consumer and telecommunications companies. 3. Alisher Usmanov Status: $ 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 ... Among its assets are the metallurgical giant Metalloinvest, the country's second largest mobile operator Megafon, the Internet holding Mail.ru Group and the publishing house Kommersant. The billionaire's most successful investments internationally are in the tech industry: he became an early investor in Facebook, but sold all shares of the social network in 2013 to invest in the growing Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and the Chinese budget smartphone maker Xiaomi. Usmanov also remains a shareholder of the London football club Arsenal. 2. Mikhail Fridman Status: $ 14.6 billion Change over the year: - $ 3 billion Position in the world ranking: 68 Together with his fellow students, 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 retail chain in Russia - X5 Retail Group. 1. Vladimir Potanin Status: $ 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, in 1991 met his future partner Mikhail Prokhorov.

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.

David Koch is the brother and long-term business partner of Charles Koch. Together, they continue to grow their capital, which is up $ 3.2 billion over the previous year. Koch Industries boasts an annual turnover of more than $ 115 million and the status of the second largest company in the United States of America.
Christy Walton
$ 41.2 billion. Source of wealth: Wal-Mart retail chain.
Christy Walton is the richest woman not only in the United States, but in the whole world. Her long-standing rival for this status is Liliane Bettencourt, whom Christie is confidently ahead of. Christie made her fortune thanks to the Wal-Mart retail chain founded by her father Sam Walton and brother James. In 2014, Christie received $ 470 million in dividends, after all taxes. Despite the fact that Christy Walton is part of the richest family in the world, she leads a rather modest lifestyle in a small town and does not like social events. However, last year she appeared in public (which is very rare) to receive an award from the Imagen Foundation.
Liliane Bettencourt
$ 40.9 billion. Source of wealth: L'Oreal.
The second richest woman in the world is Liliane Bettencourt, the heiress of the founder of the cosmetics giant L'Oreal. Lillian is no longer involved in the management of the company after she was found to be no longer capable of conducting serious business and managing affairs. The elderly widow suffering from dementia was replaced as leader by her 25-year-old grandson Jean-Victor Meyers in February 2012. This year, L'Oreal plans to strengthen its market position by introducing new product lines.
Jim Walton
$ 39.8 billion. Source of wealth: Wal-Mart retail chain.
Jim Walton is the largest individual shareholder in retail giant Wal-Mart with over $ 31 billion. The youngest son of legendary Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton continues to successfully lead the company, which currently raises more than $ 470 billion in worldwide sales. Wal-Mart has over 11,000 retail stores in different countries... Jim Walton is also the Chairman and CEO of Arvest Bank, the Walton family business. The bank has branches in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Arvest is worth about $ 1.8 billion, with assets worth nearly $ 15 billion and net profit more than 130 million.
Alice Walton
$ 38.7 billion. Source of wealth: Wal-Mart retail chain.
Another heiress of the Walton empire. Alice has a long passion for art, which led her to open the Crystal Bridges Art Museum in 2011 in her hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas. As it became known, this year she intends to acquire a house in New Jersey designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Alice also continues to participate in the political life of society, as before - in favor of the Republican Party. But, recent times her political preferences were somewhat transformed. Alice Walton, along with some other participants in this rating, contributed 25 thousand dollars to the creation of a political party to support Hillary Clinton.
Robson Walton
$ 38.3 billion. Source of wealth: Wal-Mart retail chain.
Robson Walton is the eldest son of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton and chairman of the family business. Wal-Mart has received negative press coverage for its low wages and constant bribes in Mexico. However, the primary importance for the elder Walton now is income growth, or rather, its absence. Founded by Sam Walton and his brother James in 1962 in Arkansas, Wal-Mart has grown into the largest retailer in the world with 11,000 stores and 470 billion in sales. But over the past year, the chain's revenue has grown by only 1.5%. In addition to Wal-Mart, Robson owns over $ 600 million in Hyatt Hotels. Prior to joining Wal-Mart, he was a partner at the law firm Conner & Winters in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Bernard Arnault
$ 37.5 billion. Source of Wealth: Louis Vuitton - Moet Hennessy.
One of the richest men in Europe, Bernard Arnault, is the owner of a large empire with 60 brands, including Bulgari, Fendi and Dom Perignon. The fashion mogul stirred the press last fall when he struck a deal with Herm? S, thus declaring a truce in the "eternal handbag war" between the two manufacturers. According to the agreement, Bernard's company sold almost a quarter of its shares back to Herm? S and promised not to buy the competitor's shares for the next five years. Arnault now owns only 8.5% of Herm's shares, which practically makes it impossible for him to take over a rival firm. In addition, Arnault opened the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris in October, which now houses an exhibition of his art collection, a bookstore, a restaurant and a 35-seat conference room. The building was designed by Frank Gary and resembles a vessel with high sails. Estimated at $ 100 million.
Michael Bloomberg
$ 35.4 billion. Source of wealth: Bloomberg LP.
Michael Bloomberg founded the company of the same name in 1981. After leaving his management position and promising to devote his future life to charity, Bloomberg returned to his native company in less than a year. Former New York City Mayor Bloomberg owns 88% of Bloomberg LP. During his absence from business management, the company was able to overcome the internal crisis thanks to Daniel Doctoroff, who replaced Bloomberg. Bloomberg LP now controls 32% of the financial information market. In the fall, Queen Elizabeth II honored Bloomberg with the title of an English knight, as gratitude for his significant contribution to the world of business and charity. However, the title "sir", which all knights are entitled to, Bloomberg will not be able to use, since it is not submitted to Great Britain.
Mark Zuckerberg
$ 34.8 billion. Source of wealth: Facebook.
Founder and general manager Facebook Mark Zuckerberg is betting heavily on new acquisitions and positioning his social network this year. Concerned that only a third of the world's population has access to the Internet, Zuckerberg launched his global Internet.org project. Zambia was the first country to receive assistance in connecting to the Internet. According to Zuckerberg, Facebook is ready to donate millions to this project, which is unlikely to pay off within the next 30 years. Facebook is now available in 25 countries in 70 languages. Charity also occupies not the last place in Zuckerberg's social life. In February 2015, it became known that the Zuckerberg couple had transferred $ 75 million to the account of the San Francisco hospital.
Jeff Bezos
$ 34.7 billion. Source of wealth: Amazon.com.
Based on market capitalization, Amazon.com is the second largest e-commerce company in the world and continues to strengthen its position globally. In September, Bezos announced that he plans to invest $ 2 billion in the Indian market, as it sees this country as the next frontier of web retail. Last year, Amazon announced new projects: delivery drones, its first smartphone and TV set-top box for streaming media content. The American company celebrated its 20th anniversary in July. Another reason to celebrate was that the company is forecasting revenues of $ 90 billion as early as next year. Jeff Bezos still owns 18% of Amazon.com, which he founded in 1994.
Li Kashin
$ 33.4 billion. Source of wealth: Cheung Kong Group.
The richest person in Hong Kong for the past 17 years. New Year Li Kashin began by announcing a massive restructuring of his large empire. In January, he talked about plans to create two new companies: CKH Holdings, which will handle the non-property portion of his business, and CK Property, which will take over the property-related affairs. As part of this structuring, Cheung Kong Group will buy out Hutchinson Whampoa, which was formerly a British commodity group controlled by Li Kashin for decades. Kashin will also acquire 6.2% of Husky Energy, as a result of which the Hong Kong group's ownership in the Canadian oil giant will increase to 40%.
Larry Page
$ 30.2 billion. Source of wealth: Google.
Google still dominates internet search with 65% of the global market share. The company once acquired Android Inc., and there are now over a billion active Android devices in the world, one for every seven people. In October, Larry Page delegated most of his day-to-day responsibilities to Google VP Sundar Pichai to better focus on long-term strategy. In April, Google issued a stock split that helped solidify the power of Page, Brin, and other company executives. Google has 40,000 employees in 40 countries around the world.
Sheldon Adelson
29.9 billion. Source of wealth: Las Vegas Sands.
Last year, the owner of a large casino chain was on the 8th line of the ranking of the richest people, but now he is already on the 19th place. Why did Adelson lose part of his fortune so rapidly? The fact is that he has always been against any online games, including casinos. Why such an opinion was formed in Adelson's - because of the harm that online games bring to the psychological health of people, or because the ban on online casinos will increase the demand for a real casino - is known only to Adelson himself. But instead of investing in the development of online casinos, Adelson relied on offline ones. And he missed. Many investors have found themselves on the side of online casinos, and this area is starting to develop rapidly, taking away a significant share of the target audience from Las Vegas Sands.
Sergey Brin
$ 29.7 billion. Source of wealth: Google.
Co-founder and developer Google this time rounds out the twenty richest people in the world. Larry Page and Sergey Brin plan to sell shares worth $ 4.4 billion, while retaining the right to control 52% of the vote. Google's cofounders now have about half of the shares they owned in 2004, when the company went public. Compared to last year, Google's revenue increased by 19% and is $ 66 billion. Google search engine remains the leader international market search information services.
Top 200 leaders: Vladimir Potanin ($ 15.4 billion), Mikhail Fridman ($ 14.6 billion), Alisher Usmanov ($ 14.4 billion)

The combined wealth of Russia's 200 richest entrepreneurs fell to $ 408 billion in 2015 from $ 481 billion in 2014, while the number of dollar billionaires dropped to 88 from 111.
The crisis, however, did not knock everyone down - among the 200 participants in the list, there were 37 people who managed to increase their fortune, another 27 retained their last year's result. Metallurgists and owners look better than others amid the crisis commercial real estate, especially if they managed to conclude lease agreements in foreign currency and do not renegotiate their terms. There are 11 new names in the 2015 list, among the newcomers there is a woman - Olga Belyavtseva, co-owner of the Progress plant, which produces FrutoNyanya baby food and Lipetsk pump room mineral water.
One of the seven who was ever the "# 1 billionaire" is a former partner of Potanin Mikhail Prokhorov... In the crisis year of 2009, he became the champion with a fortune of $ 9.5 billion, and Potanin, with his $ 2.1 billion, took only 19th place. Having divided the assets equally in 2008, businessmen dealt with them differently - Prokhorov sold his stake in Norilsk Nickel to Rusal before the market collapse, and Potanin was left with heavily depreciated shares.
In 2015, in the year of a new crisis, the situation turned upside down - Potanin with Norilsk Nickel was the first, and Prokhorov with a fortune of $ 9.9 billion - in 10th place.
The average fortune of former Interros partners for all the years of compiling the rating is approximately the same - $ 11.8 billion for Potanin and $ 11.9 billion for Prokhorov.
Before the division of assets between Prokhorov and Potanin, Interros was second only in size to the consortium Alfa Group Mikhail Fridman and partners. In 2008, Interros' assets were estimated at $ 45 billion, and Alfa Group at $ 54 billion. This year, the combined fortune of Potanin and Prokhorov is $ 25.3 billion, and again this is the second result after Alfa Group, but the Potanin-Prokhorov group is no longer there.

As we thought
Forbes has been evaluating the world's largest fortunes for decades. For this, the journal uses a specially developed methodology, the basis of which is as follows:1. Our assessment of the state of an entrepreneur is the value of his assets: shares of companies, land plots, real estate objects, as well as personal property, etc.
2. All public companies are valued by market capitalization. Closed companies are assessed based on information about sales volumes, profits, equity; a comparison is made with companies of similar indicators, traded on the stock exchange or in the recent past, the former objects of purchase and sale. We try to be conservative and evaluate the property of entrepreneurs according to the principle “at least not cheaper”.
3. In this list, the price of companies is fixed as of February 13, 2015. The age of the participants in the list is indicated on April 15, 2015
4. Russian entrepreneurs often assign shares of their enterprises to the next of kin. Given this circumstance, Forbes assigns all the assets that the family of entrepreneurs controls 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 200 of the richest businessmen in Russia, the lower end of the rating is $ 400 million. If you did not find any of the famous entrepreneurs in the list, then Forbes estimates his fortune at less than $ 400 million.
The information given in the Forbes rating is an expert and journalistic assessment of the aggregate volume of property ownership by these persons. This information is not official and can only be used in private.
