10/03: Russians Big on Billionaire List
The recently released Forbes Rich List has Russia ranked in third place in the world for most number of billionaires, behind the USA and Germany. But the combined $282 billion wealth of Russia’s 53 billionaires outstrips the collective fortune of their German counterparts. The highest ranked Russian is Roman Abramovich whose personal fortune of $18.7 billion places him at number 16, five places lower than last year.
There are seven more Russians in the top 50 including investor and Ferrari lover Suleiman Kerimov at number 35 and aluminium magnate Oleg Deripaska at number 40 with $13.3 billion. A total of 14 Russians are ranked in the top 100.
The only female among the Russian contingent is Elena Baturina, the wife of Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov, whose $3.1 billion fortune from construction interests has her ranked at number 279. Meanwhile, Boris Berezovsky still just makes the cut as the second last ranked Russian while the former richest man in Russia, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, is now long gone from the prestigious list.
