History of Forbes magazine
Forbes Bertie Charles(English Bertie Charles Forbes; May 14, 1880, New Deer, Aberdeenshire - May 6, 1954) - Forbes magazine founder, journalist.
Born into a large Scottish tailor family. He was the sixth among ten children. Bertie started working quite early: at the age of 14 he dropped out of school and got a job as a typesetter for 75 cents a week. And he got a job by mistake. I thought that he would immediately be entrusted with writing texts, which he always wanted. After 7 years, he learned to be a stenographer (which was a prerequisite for reporters of that time) and became a journalist in one of the local newspapers. In 1904, Forbes left Scotland. He first went to South Africa in an attempt to forget his ex-girlfriend who married another - and then went to the United States.
At first, he worked for various financial columnists, until the famous media mogul William Hirst offered him a place in his magazine. Soon, Forbes made the public speak about himself, becoming famous as a powerful financial analyst who is not afraid to criticize famous and successful people.
In 1917, having saved up some money, Forbes opened his own magazine. It is noteworthy that Bertie himself wanted to call him Doers and Doings, but on the advice of his friends called him by his name.
Over the years, Forbes has become one of the most widely read business publications in the United States. The veracity of the articles, harsh criticism and caustic attacks have always distinguished the magazine from other publications. The publication found itself in a difficult situation only after the stock market crash of 1929, but even then Bertie refused to sell his brainchild, sometimes paying his journalists from his own fees for articles in other magazines.
After the death of Bertie Forbes, the magazine passed to his son, Malcolm Forbes, who sought to increase his father's fortune.
Under him, in the 1960s, Jim Michaels became the editor-in-chief of the magazine. According to experts, modern business journalism was formed largely thanks to the editorial policy of Forbes during this period. Unlike competitive media outlets with flattering stories about businesses, Forbes sought to conduct investigative journalism on entrepreneurs. By the late 1970s, Forbes was the # 1 business publication in the United States.
And in the 1990s, already under the founder's grandson, Stephen Forbes
the magazine began not only to cover a wider range of topics, but also began to be published in Portuguese and Japanese. Russia became the fifth country in the world where Forbes began publishing its magazine. In 2004, a licensing agreement was signed with Axel Springer Russia, and the first Russian issue of the magazine was published in the same year.
Forbes monthly writes about the activities of the largest entrepreneurs, innovations in the field of business and investment, publishes lists of the richest people in Russia and other ratings. For eight years of being on the Russian market, Forbes has become a leader in the business press segment, and the number of its readers has crossed the millionth mark.
Forbes magazine provides readers with the stories of successful projects and their products, stories about project failures and their causes, the life and work of famous entrepreneurs, the causes and consequences of high-profile events, ratings of the richest people in the world, the largest fees of show business stars and athletes, income and expenses, business tricks and PR tricks.
Forbes is the world's leading business magazine. The magazine received recognition thanks to its bold investigations in the world of business and objective assessments of events, as well as various lists and ratings published by it. Among them, the most famous is the list of the world's billionaires.
In the United States, Forbes is the second largest business magazine in terms of audience, with a circulation of over 900,000 copies.
Each issue of the magazine contains over 60 analytical articles about companies, their founders and leaders. The total audience of Forbes and its international English-language publication is about 5 million people around the world. In addition, the magazine is published in local languages \u200b\u200bin Georgia, Poland, Russia, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Japan, Brazil, Korea and China. In Ukraine, the magazine is published in Russian.
Forbes first attempted to assess the state of leading businessmen in 1918, publishing a list of the 30 richest Americans. The leader of the first rating was John Rockefeller with a huge fortune of $ 1.2 billion at that time.

Forbes ratings
At the beginning of the 20th century, various ratings of the richest people in the United States often appeared in the American media, and Forbes magazine began to practice the same, which later received the laurels of the pioneer of the method of constantly ranking the richest Americans. The first list, published by Forbes on March 2, 1918, included 30 names. The ranking was headed by John Rockefeller, whose fortune at that time was estimated at $ 1.2 billion (this amount is the equivalent of the current $ 14 billion).

Billionaire Ranking
Since 1986, the magazine began to publish the list of the world's billionaires, The World’s Billionaires.
The first Russian millionaires (Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vladimir Potanin, Vladimir Gusinsky, Rem Vyakhirev, Vagit Alekperov) appeared on this list in 1997. In 1998, only Vladimir Potanin remained in the Forbes rating, with a fortune of $ 1.6 billion. Over the next two years, none of the Russian entrepreneurs managed to get into this rating, but already in 2001, eight Russians were included in the Forbes list at once. 2002 - 7, in 2003 - 17, and in 2004 - 25. In 2005, for the first time, billionaires from other CIS countries were included in the Forbes list.
In 2010, the top three billionaires in the world included the family of 70-year-old Carlos Slim Elu ($ 53.5 billion, telecommunications, Mexico), 54-year-old Bill Gates ($ 53 billion, high-tech, USA) and 79-year-old Warren Buffett ($ 47 billion, investment and insurance, USA). Among the billionaires in 2010, there were 62 Russians, almost twice as many as in 2009. The 2010 event was the first absence of Boris Berezovsky in the rating. Among the world's billionaires in 2011, there were already 99 Russians, about the same number in 2012 - 96.
The richest Americans ranking
Forbes 400
Since September 13, 1982, Forbes magazine has published a list of the 400 richest Americans - Forbes 400, a rating of the richest citizens of the United States in the modern sense.
The number "400" is not accidentally included in the name of the list: the idea was borrowed from Mrs. Astor's "400 List" (Mrs. William Blackhouse Astor Jr. is known for hosting balls for the richest people in American society in the 1890s in her mansion on Fifth Avenue - her mansion could accommodate no more than 400 people, hence the name).

How the top ten of the Forbes rankings have changed over ten years
Forbes magazine annually calculates the size of the fortunes of businessmen. This year, they additionally showed how the top ten of their rating has changed in recent years.
From 2004 to 2013, 295 businessmen were included in the lists of the richest, 37 of whom were participants in all 10 ratings. Since 2004, the fortune of these 37 entrepreneurs has more than tripled (86 billion - 273 billion). Over the same period, the RTS index (the main indicator of the Russian stock market) has doubled. As we can see, the wealth of the rating participants grew on average 1.5 times faster than the market.
The first rating of the richest Russians was called "The Golden Hundred" and was published in May 2004. Billionaires took 36 positions on the list, at the top of which was Khodorkovsky ($ 15.2 billion). Rounding out 36 billionaires was Alisher Usmanov, whose wealth was exactly 1 billion. After 8 years, the owner of Metalloinvest and a shareholder of Megafon is already in the first position of the list, with a significant gap from the rest of the rating participants. In 2013, Usmanov's fortune was 17.6 billion.
The maximum state for all the years of the rating was recorded in 2008 - Rusal shareholder Oleg Deripaska with $ 28.6 billion. The same 2008 was notable for another record - the total fortune of all participants in the rating was $ 522 billion.
In 2011, the number of billionaire businessmen in Russia was already more than a hundred. Then, for the first time, a list of not 100, but 200 of the richest was compiled, but the overall condition of the participants in the rating did not exceed the threshold of 2008. In 2013, the combined wealth of the rich was 488 billion, with 417 billion for the first hundred participants. Since 2004, the number of billionaires has risen from 36 to 110 people.
Power and money - 2013. Income rating of federal officials
The list for monitoring information on income did not include territorial subdivisions of federal authorities; a number of federal services that have not published the declarations of their employees.
In our opinion, this indicator is more representative than the individual income of an official. Civil servants who do not have the right to conduct business, but who remain businessmen, “rewrite” their assets to their spouses, fulfilling the formal requirements of the current legislation. But at any time these assets can be returned to their real owner.
Rating of the most expensive top managers
The leaders of the state-owned companies have become the leaders of the new Forbes ranking. We limited the study to the 70 largest enterprises by revenue in 2011, excluding state corporations and companies controlled by owners (Lukoil, Severstal, Rusal). In the top five are the heads of exclusively state-owned companies.
The rating is headed by the President - Chairman of the Management Board of VTB Group Andrey Kostin... According to experts, he earns a total of about $ 30 million a year. The total remuneration of key VTB managers in 2011 also amounted to a record $ 194 million. According to Forbes interlocutors, most of Kostin's remuneration, like most of the other CEOs on the list, most likely, it receives abroad, in particular in Cyprus, where VTB has a subsidiary bank, Russian Commmercial Bank (RCB). In 2011, the group's managers received an additional $ 40 million from a Cypriot bank in the form of dividends alone.
Head of Gazprom Alexey Millertook second place in the ranking with an estimate of $ 25 million.
And here is the compensation of the head of Sberbank German Gref- $ 15 million - half that of Kostin. In 2011, Sberbank's net profit amounted to $ 10.75 billion.Consequently, Gref could additionally earn almost $ 8 million.
Head of Gazprom Neft Alexander Dyukov ($ 8 million) and CEO of Aeroflot Vitaly Saveliev ($ 2.5 million).
In the top ten, four places went to CEOs of private companies. Sixth - Dmitry Razumov ($ 12 million, Onexim), eighth - Ivan Streshinsky ($ 10 million, USM Holding), ninth - Vladimir Strzhalkovsky($ 10 million, Norilsk Nickel), tenth - Mikhail Shamolin ($ 10 million, AFK Sistema). All these enterprises, by the way, are owned by businessmen from the Forbes list. In the ranking of the highest paid CEOs, the only woman is the head of Basic Element Gulzhan Moldazhanova ($ 4 million, 23rd place).
Rating of the largest non-public companies in Russia for 2012
As the newspaper notes, the total turnover of 200 private companies increased by 27.5% and reached a record 10.2 trillion rubles. Growth was noted not only for large companies, but also for agricultural holdings, car dealers and many others.
The companies in the ranking are ranked based on 2011 revenues. The list includes companies whose shares are not listed on the stock market. As the newspaper notes, the rating does not include banks, insurance, leasing, investment and other financial companies.
Thus, according to Forbes, the leader is the Kazan oil refining group TAIF, a diversified holding based on petrochemistry and oil refining (39 companies, including Nizhnekamskneftekhim and Kazanorgsintez).
Moscow's largest construction contractor in Russia, Stroygazconsulting, ranked second in the ranking. The main customers of the company are the structures of Gazprom, Transneft, Lukoil, Rosavtodor, the newspaper notes.
Megapolis, a wholesaler of tobacco products in Russia, has exclusive contracts with Japan Tobacco International, Philip Morris, Imperial Tobacco, and is on the third line of the rating. The sales network of Megapolis covers 150 thousand Russian outlets and 50 thousand Ukrainian ones.
Revenue of Integrated Energy Systems by 10%, which allowed IES to become the fourth in the Forbes rating.
Then there are: the largest producer of iron ore raw materials "Metalloinvest", the petrochemical company "Sibur Holding", the construction company "Stroygazmontazh", which gets the main projects of "Gazprom", as well as "Russneft" and "Megafon".
5 main Russian celebrities - 2013
Forbes has calculated the income of Russian celebrities
This year, Forbes has ranked the stars for the tenth time. And even before all the calculations began - the creative income of celebrities for the year, the number of mentions in the media and queries in Yandex - it was possible to say with confidence who would be at the top of the list.
At the top of the list of fifty "most" in Russia was tennis player Maria Sharapova. According to Forbes, for the year (from June 2012 to May 2013), her income was $ 29 million.
The second place is occupied by singer Grigory Leps, who earned $ 15 million and a great love of fans who often looked for him in Yandex.
Valery Gergiev, artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater, took third place with an income of $ 16.5 million.
The fourth and fifth lines from last year remained unchanged - Philip Kirkorov ($ 9.7 million) and hockey player Alexander Ovechkin ($ 16.8 million).
The sixth to tenth places were occupied by singer Stas Mikhailov (two years in a row he headed the rating), TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, singer Nikolai Baskov, model Natalia Vodianova and player of St. Petersburg Zenit Andrei Arshavin.
Forbes magazine also publishes other well-known lists annually, including:
Rating of the most influential women
The list is divided by representatives of seven categories: billionaires, business, lifestyle (entertainment and fashion), media, non-profit organizations, politics and technology. The methodology takes into account three main factors, the weight of which fluctuates depending on the category: money, presence in the media and influence on the industry.
The 2013 list includes nine heads of state, including the leader - German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The aggregate GDP of the countries ruled by the rating participants is $ 11.8 trillion. Revenue of 24 companies led by women from the Forbes list is approaching $ 900 billion.
10 participants did not leave the list for all 10 years of its existence, among them TV personality Oprah Winfrey and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Rating of the most expensive cars
Forbes was looking at models that will be available in the US market next year. For one reason or another, the journalists “weeded out” McLaren and Spyker, but included Porsche, which will appear only in 2013. Leadership positions in this list are occupied by:
Russian edition of Forbes magazine
Russia became the fifth country in the world where Forbes began publishing its magazine. The first Russian issue of the magazine was published in April 2004. The magazine was published by ZAO Axel Springer Russia, a subsidiary of the German media holding Axel Springer AG. Trademark owner - Forbes Inc.
The monthly Russian Forbes writes about the activities of the largest entrepreneurs, innovations in the field of business and investment, publishes lists of the richest people in Russia and other ratings.
Forbes informants are top managers of large companies, politicians, newsmakers, etc.
The audience of one issue of the publication, according to the data provided on the publisher's website, is 769 600 people. The circulation of the magazine in the Russian territory, according to TNS Russia, was 140 thousand copies from September 2008 to February 2009; the basic circulation of the main magazine in 2012, according to the publisher's own data, is 100 thousand copies.
In 2004, Paul Khlebnikov was appointed editor-in-chief of the magazine.
In May of the same year, Russian Forbes published a list of the 100 richest citizens of Russia. Khlebnikov was killed on July 9, 2004, near the Forbes editorial office in Moscow. From August 30, 2004 to March 2011, the editor-in-chief was Maxim Kashulinsky, from May 16, 2011 - Elizaveta Osetinskaya.
In the summer of 2007, the publication tried to acquire the Rodionov Publishing House. On November 9, 2009 the site of the Russian Forbes magazine was launched.
The Russian edition of Forbes looked into the pockets of officials today and found out that, for example, for the head of a department, now the normal salary is 300 thousand rubles. The same is now paid in the White House, because government officials were outraged when they learned about the increase in salaries in the Kremlin, which occurred immediately after Putin's return to the presidency. “The increase in the salaries of the administration staff had the effect of a bombshell in the government. Since the summer, the White House has not spoken about anything other than this injustice. " These words were spoken by an anonymous source for Forbes ...

Since 2004, the Russian version of the magazine, Forbes Russia, has been published in Russia. Probably the most anticipated news that Forbes annually announces is the ranking of billionaires around the world. What changes have occurred over the year? Who headed, and indeed entered the list of Russia's billionaires? We will talk about this and much more in the article.
History of the Russian version of "Forbes"
Russia was the fifth country in the world to start publishing a magazine on its territory. The first issue, as already mentioned, was published in 2004. Axel Springer Russia CJSC took over the project. Within 5 years, an electronic version of the Russian Forbes magazine was created.
The print edition has managed to change many editors over the decade. Less than a year ago, Axel Springer Russia CJSC sold the publishing rights to ACMG, which is headed by businessman Alexander Fedotov. It must be said that this decision was forced due to changes in Russian legislation on the share of foreign managers of local media outlets. In fact, it was a direct clash between the owners of Vedomosti and Forbes, because these publications touch on serious political and economic issues and, moreover, have a significant contribution from foreign owners. It is worth noting that the Forbes magazine, from the date of its foundation, adhered to its own views and was independent of other people's opinions and influence.
The first billionaires of Russia in Forbes
In 1997, the magazine for the first time included in its list Russians who were in a good condition at that time. These were the leaders:
- lukoil - Vagit Alekperov;
- ONEXIM Bank - Vladimir Potanin;
- YUKOS - Mikhail Khodorkovsky;
- Gazprom - Vyakhirev Rem;
- the "Most" group - Vladimir Gusinsky;
- Boris Berezovsky (Deputy Secretary of the RF Security Council).
Since then, the list has been updated. However, one of the management companies is still one of the richest people on the planet. This is Vladimir Potanin, who in 2015 topped the list of Russia's billionaires.
The results of the rating of Forbes magazine in 2016
On March 1 of this year, the newest rating of billionaires in Russia and the whole world was published. The list included 77 citizens of the Russian Federation. The size of the state of each of them has remained practically unchanged over the past year. But it is known for certain that 20 oligarchs have become even richer. Newcomers have also appeared, which we will talk about a little later.
The economic situation in the world has not been stable lately. This certainly influenced the fortune of billionaires. The total amount of funds at the disposal of Russian oligarchs in 2016 decreased by almost 54 billion conventional units compared to last year. The financial situation of the majority of wealthy individuals has changed, and therefore the list has been updated. Forbes' information on the state of the richest people in the world for 2016 is reflected in the table:
| Information about the oligarch | Place in the Forbes rating | Status, USD billion | Country of Residence | Source of funds |
| Bill Gates, 60 | 1 | 75 | USA | Microsoft |
| Ortega Amancio, 79 years old | 2 | 67 | Spain | Zara |
| Buffett Warren, 85 | 3 | 60.8 | USA | Berkshire hathaway |
| Carlos Slim Elu, 76 years old | 4 | 50 | Mexico | telecommunications |
| Jeff Bezos, 52 | 5 | 45.2 | USA | Amazon |
| Zuckerberg Mark, 31 | 6 | 44.6 | ||
| Allison Larry, 71 | 7 | 43.6 | Oracle | |
| Bloomberg Michael, 74 | 8 | 40 | Bloomberg LP | |
| Charles Koch, 80 years old | 9 | 39.6 | Koch Industries | |
| David Koch, 75 | 10 |
As you can see, mostly men of retirement age can boast of a lot of money, there are, of course, young lucky ones. Most of the billionaires, as in other years, are in the United States. The leader of the list for that period is Bill Gates, the world-famous creator of Windows OS.
Where are ours?
As you can see, the Russian oligarchs are still not rich enough to get into the top ten Forbes. The richest person in the country is only in 60th place in the general list. His fortune is estimated at $ 14.4 billion. And this person, completely unexpected for many readers, is Leonid Mikhelson. "Why unexpected?" - you ask. The head of Novatek was not even one of the five billionaires last year according to the Russian version of Forbes magazine. In just a year, he was able to break through from the 7th place to the leader.
The top ten people with a huge fortune by Russian standards also included:
| Full name, age | Place on the Forbes Russia list | Place on the Forbes list | Condition, billion dollars | Source of funds |
| Mikhelson Leonid, 60 years old | 1 | 60 | 14.4 | OJSC "Novatek" |
| Fridman Mikhail, 52 years old | 2 | 63 | 13.3 | Alfa Group |
| Alisher Usmanov, 62 years old | 3 | 73 | 12.5 | USM Holdings |
| Potanin Vladimir, 55 years old | 4 | 78 | 12.1 | Interros |
| Timchenko Gennady, 63 years old | 5 | 85 | 11.4 | Bank "Russia", "Transoil", "Sibur" |
| Mordashov Alexey, 50 years old | 6 | 93 | 10.9 | Severstal, Power Machines |
| Vekselberg Victor, 59 years old | 7 | 98 | 10.5 | Rusal, Sulzer |
| Vladimir Lisin, 60 years old | 8 | 116 | 9.3 | UCL Holding, NLMK |
| Alekperov Vagit, 65 years old | 9 | 124 | 8.9 | Lukoil |
| Khan Herman, 54 years old | 10 | 128 | 8.7 | Alfa-Bank, Retail Group |
In total, 77 Russians were included in the Forbes world list in 2016, which is 11 people less than last year.
Major Capital Ups of the Year
This year the leader of the list of Russia's billionaires has changed. It was Leonid Mikhelson, a "gas" and "oil" tycoon, a shareholder of the Novatek company. He was able to increase his fortune by 23%, which allowed him to make an incredible breakthrough: from 105th in the world ranking to 60! It is also worth noting that before that Mikhelson had never entered the list of Russia's billionaires.
But Mikhail Gutseriev, the head of the board of directors of RussNeft, jumped over this successful businessman in terms of capital growth in one year. He was able to climb 577 steps higher and took 205 place in the world rankings. His fortune has almost doubled. At the end of 2015, he was ranked 16th in the Forbes Russia rating. It will not be surprising if next year he becomes the leader of Russia in terms of equity capital. With such rapid growth, you can expect great achievements from the billionaire.
Down to earth?
Ups and downs followed. How many billionaires in Russia have lost their positions during an economically and politically difficult year? Despite the fact that Fridman and Usmanov retained their position in the ranking (2nd and 3rd places, respectively), their capital slightly decreased. M. Fridman lost almost 9% of money, and Usmanov - about 13%. Vladimir Potanin, an entrepreneur and politician who became the leader of the Forbes Russia ranking of the richest people in Russia in 2015, felt the changes more tangibly. Its losses amounted to about 22%, which in monetary terms is equivalent to $ 3.3 billion. Due to a decrease in his capital, he surrendered positions in the 2016 list, moving to 4th line.
But most of all, Oleg Deripaska, the owner of the Basic Element holding, was unlucky. The entrepreneur dropped 624 positions down in the Forbes World Billionaire Rankings. More than four billion were lost irretrievably.
More about the leaders: Mikhelson Leonid
The sixty-year-old Russian entrepreneur increased his capital by $ 2.7 billion in 2015, which made him the leader in the ranking of Russia's billionaires. By the way, he is not much behind the 50 richest people in the world according to Forbes magazine, where he is ranked 60th. The total amount of his fortune is equal to $ 14.4 billion.
It is one of the main shareholders of OJSC Novatek and Sibur Holding, which specialize in the production of gas and petrochemical products. Part of the funds also comes from a share in Promsvyazbank. Mikhelson is fond of art, which he expresses in sponsoring exhibitions in Russia and the United States.
"Silver" oligarch Mikhail Fridman
Compared to 2015, Friedman retained his position on the Forbes Russia list, although he lost some of his fortune ($ 1.3 billion). For this year, he owns $ 13.3 billion. He is the head of the financial and industrial investment group Alfa Group.
Has a stable condition since 2010. The owner of such brands as Pyaterochka, Beeline, Perekrestok. Mikhail Fridman, through Alfa-Bank, is involved in charity work, helping children with severe cardiac diseases. Has dual citizenship (Russia, Israel).
Usmanov Alisher
Owner of a fortune estimated at $ 12.5 billion. Over the past year, it lost almost 2 billion, but retained its position in the Russian Forbes list. He has several business empires, which bring him a good income. Among them: Metalloinvest, Megafon, Kommersant.
Invested Facebook in the early days of the social network. Three years ago, Usmanov invested in Chinese assets: the Internet retailer Alibaba, the production of Xiaomi smartphones. In addition, the billionaire is a co-owner of the Arsenal football club (London).
Newly minted Russian oligarchs
Russian dollar billionaires are added to the Forbes list every year. In 2016, the magazine published four new names previously unknown to the public. Of course, in the overall rating they are still far behind the leaders. But who knows, maybe next year one of them will join 20 Russian oligarchs.
1126th place was taken by Mikhail Shishkhanov. A fairly young entrepreneur, the head of B&N Bank PJSC. At 43, he already has a fortune estimated at $ 1.6 billion. Gutseriev Sait-Salam, one of the directors of RussNeft, is on an equal footing with him. Leonid Boguslavsky is slightly behind his comrades. It is ranked 1476 by Forbes and has a net worth of $ 1.2 billion. Together with him, Kirill Shamalov was introduced to the public, very young by oligarch standards (33 years old), he has $ 1.2 billion and shares 1476 place with Boguslavsky in the world ranking.
In addition to new faces, Forbes welcomed entrepreneurs who were temporarily absent from the 2015 list: Viktor Kharitonin (Pharmstandard), Dmitry Pumpyansky (Sinara), Boris Rotenberg (SMP Bank) and private investor Megdet Rakhimkulov. Each of them freely owns one billion dollars. Together, the "new" oligarchs took the 1649th place in 2016.
Leaving the rating
The fallout from the economic crisis has affected everyone, and billionaires are no exception. Of course, few of them have become impoverished to zero. But the losses were tangible. For many entrepreneurs, this has resulted in dropping out of the list of the richest people in the world. In 2016, 19 Russians left the rating, including: Nikolay Tsvetkov (Uralsib), Mikhail Balakin (head of SU-155), Rustam Tariko (Russian Standard Bank). Their fortune is estimated at between $ 1.1 billion and $ 1.7 billion. At the moment, they have returned to the home stretch and will now compete for the title of "more successful entrepreneur" with the "young" generation of Forbes.
Young billionaires of Russia
Business is developing despite any obstacles. The most dexterous, brainy and far-sighted soars skyward, flying over millions of their fortune. At some point, a new stage begins in their life and career: the first billion dollars. Of course, it is difficult to achieve such heights on your own without the help of inheritance. The process of conquering the top of the oligarch's glory can take a long time.
By Forbes standards, the average age of the nominees is 45 years. This is a period of man's maturity, when behind his back there is already significant life experience and stability of the financial situation. All those who have not yet turned forty are considered young. Are there many of these in the world? And how many of them are Russians?
Forbes Russia celebrates 7 lucky people who, despite their small years, already have financial achievements:
- Shamalov Kirill (33 years old) - holds a seat on the board of directors of Sibur. In 2016, he took 64th position in the list of the rich in Forbes Russia. His fortune is estimated at $ 1.2 billion.
- Vyacheslav Mirilashvili (32) is almost a billionaire, with $ 0.95 billion in cash in his hands. He is the fund manager of Vaizra. Ranks 85th in the rating of Russian oligarchs.
- Pavel Durov (31 years old) is the founder of the VKontakte social network and the Telegram program, well-known among young people. For 2016, he has a fortune of $ 600 million and is 136th in the Forbes Russia rating.
- Elena Rybolovleva (27 years old) - the ex-wife of Dmitry Rybolovlev, received her fortune of $ 600 million thanks to the amicable agreement of the divorce proceedings. He is engaged in investments. In the Russian list, Forbes is in 142nd place.
- Deni Bazhaev (20 years old) is a young co-owner of the Alliance Group, owner of $ 500 million and 155 lines in the ranking of Russian oligarchs.
- Ivan Tavrin (39 years old) - owner of $ 400 million, head of PJSC Megafon. He founded his own business on his own. At the end of 2015, it is ranked 194 in the Forbes Russia rating.
- Vitaly Yusufov (36) - an investor, owner of $ 400 million. It is on the 196th position in the list of the Russian version of Forbes.
Young oligarchs have every chance to conquer the first positions of Forbes. Many of them achieved results on their own, without the help of relatives and other people's finances.
Billionaires of Russia are famous figures, founders of large industrial and financial enterprises. Each of them has its own history of the path to success. Over the past year, there have been many victories and failures that have made changes to the Forbes list. But troubles, like victories, build morale. Already next year it will be seen how they successfully and dignifiedly defended their business and once again became one of the richest people in Russia.
