Number of Russian billionaires in the latest list Forbes It reached a historical record with 125 people. According to the publication’s official website, their number increased by 15 last year.
The richest Russian representative on the list was Vagit Alekperov, co-owner of Lukoil, for the first time. Lukoil’s wealth is estimated at $28.6 billion, compared to $20.5 billion a year ago. The increase in the value of its assets is explained by the almost doubling of the prices of Lukoil shares on the Moscow Stock Exchange (from 4 to 7.5 thousand rubles) and the payment of dividends by the company.
It is noted that the most frequent leader of the list of Russian billionaires is Vladimir Lisin (four times), and last year he was replaced by Andrei Melnichenko. The total wealth of all Russian members on the list increased by 14 percent during the year, falling from a peak of $606.2 billion in 2021 to $576.8 billion.
The top 3 leaders in the international Forbes ranking include French billionaire Bernard Arnault, owner of the LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) group of companies with a fortune of $233 billion, Elon Musk, chairman of Tesla and SpaceX, and the founder of Amazon, with a fortune of $195 billion.
