However, over the past 10 years (since 2006), 205 billionaires from China have been added to the list, thanks to which the championship has passed to the Celestial Empire. India is also performing well, with 90 billionaires to its credit, and for the first time this year has surpassed Russia in the number of defendants.

Summarizing

In conclusion, it is worth noting: in the Forbes rating, many are settled by entire families, managing enterprises created decades ago. Usually inherit trade enterprises, oil, cosmetic companies. And young people rushed to the Internet: a new generation of self-made billionaires, in most cases, achieves success thanks to the IT sphere.

Forbes magazine is a world-famous print publication specializing in the global economy. It was named after Bertie Charles Forbes, who founded it in 1917. Since 2004, the Russian version of the magazine, Forbes Russia, has been published in Russia. Probably the most anticipated news that Forbes announces annually is the rating of billionaires around the world. What changes have taken place over the year? Who headed, and indeed entered the list of Russian billionaires? We will talk about this and much more in the article.

The history of the Russian version of Forbes

Russia was the fifth country in the world to start publishing the magazine on its territory. The first issue, as already mentioned, was published in 2004. CJSC Axel Springer Russia took over the implementation of the project. After 5 years, an electronic version of the Russian Forbes magazine was created.

The printed edition has managed to change many editors over the decade. And less than a year ago, Axel Springer Russia CJSC sold the publishing rights to ACMG, which is headed by businessman Alexander Fedotov. I must say that this decision was forced due to changes in Russian legislation on the share of foreign managers of local media. In fact, this was a direct clash between the owners of Vedomosti and Forbes, because it is these publications that touch on serious political and economic topics 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, for the first time, the magazine included Russians in its list, who at that time had a good fortune. These were the leaders:

• Lukoil company - Vagit Alekperov;
• ONEXIM Bank - Vladimir Potanin;
• Yukos - Mikhail Khodorkovsky;
• Gazprom - Vyakhirev Rem;
• group "Most" - Gusinsky Vladimir;
• Berezovsky Boris (deputy secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation).

The list has since been updated. However, one of the managing enterprises is still among the richest people on the planet. This is Vladimir Potanin, who in 2015 topped the list of Russian billionaires.

The results of the Forbes magazine rating in 2016

On March 1 of this year, the latest rating of billionaires in Russia and around the world was published. The list included 77 citizens of the Russian Federation. The size of the state of each of them has not changed much over the past year. But it is known for certain that 20 oligarchs have become even richer. There were also newcomers, which we will talk about a little later.

The economic situation in the world in recent years has not been stable. This, of course, has affected the fortunes of billionaires. The total amount of funds available to Russian oligarchs in 2016 decreased by almost 54 billion conventional units compared to last year. The financial situation of the majority of wealthy persons has changed, in connection with which the list has been updated. Forbes information on the state of the richest people in the world for 2016 is reflected in the table:

top ten billionaires in the world

Information about the oligarch	Place in the Forbes ranking	Wealth, billion US dollars	Country of Residence	Source of funds
Bill Gates, 60	1	75	USA	Microsoft
Ortega Amancio, 79	2	67	Spain	Zara
Buffett Warren, 85	3	60.8	USA	Berkshire Hathaway

Allison Larry, 71	7	43.6		Oracle
Bloomberg Michael, 74	8	40		Bloomberg L.P.
Charles Koch, 80	9	39.6		Koch Industries
David Koch, 75	10

As you can see, mostly men of retirement age can boast of big money, there are, of course, young lucky ones. The largest number of billionaires, as in other years, falls on the United States. The leader of the list which period is Bill Gates, the world-famous creator of the Windows operating system.

Where are ours?

As you can see, the oligarchs of Russia are still not so rich as to get into the top ten Forbes. The richest man in the country is only in 60th place in the general list. His fortune is estimated at 14.4 billion dollars. And this person, completely unexpected for many readers, is Leonid Mikhelson. "Why unexpected?" - you ask. The head of Novatek was not even among the five billionaires according to the Russian version of Forbes magazine last year. In just a year, he was able to break through from 7th place to the leaders.

The top ten people with a huge fortune by Russian standards also included:

In total, 77 Russians entered the Forbes world list in 2016, which is 11 people less than last year.

The main "ups" of the capital of the year

This year, the leader of the list of Russian billionaires has changed. They became Leonid Mikhelson - "gas" and "oil" tycoon, shareholder of Novatek. He was able to increase his fortune by 23%, which allowed him to make an unthinkable breakthrough: from 105th place in the world ranking to 60th! It is also worth noting that before that, Mikhelson had never been included in the list of Russian billionaires.

But this successful businessman in terms of capital growth was surpassed in one year by Mikhail Gutseriev, the head of the board of directors of RussNeft. He was able to climb 577 steps higher and took 205th place in the world ranking. His fortune has almost doubled. At the end of 2015, he was ranked 16th in the Forbes Russia rating. It won't be surprising if he becomes Russia's leader in net worth next year. With such rapid growth, you should expect great achievements from the billionaire.

From heaven to earth?

The ups were followed by downs. How many billionaires in Russia have lost their positions in a difficult economic and political year? Despite the fact that Fridman and Usmanov retained their position in the rankings (2nd and 3rd respectively), their capital slightly decreased. M. Fridman lost almost 9% of his 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. His losses amounted to about 22%, which in monetary terms equates to 3.3 billion dollars. Due to the decrease in his capital, he lost his position in the 2016 list, moving to the 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 Billionaires Ranking. More than four billion were irretrievably lost.

More about the leaders: Mikhelson Leonid

The sixty-year-old Russian entrepreneur increased his capital by $2.7 billion in 2015, which led him to leadership in the ranking of Russia's billionaires. By the way, he is not far behind the 50 richest people in the world according to Forbes magazine, where he ranks 60th. The total amount of his fortune is equal to 14.4 billion dollars.

This is one of the main shareholders of Novatek and Sibur Holding, which specialize in the production of gas and petrochemical products. Part of the funds is also brought by a share in Promsvyazbank. Mikhelson is passionate about art, which he expresses by sponsoring exhibitions in Russia and the United States.

"Silver" oligarch Mikhail Fridman

Compared to 2015, Friedman has maintained his position on the Forbes Rush list, although he has lost some of his fortune ($1.3 billion). This year he owns $13.3 billion. He is the head of the financial and industrial investment group Alfa Group.

Has been stable 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

The owner of a fortune estimated at 12.5 billion dollars. Over the past year, he lost almost 2 billion, but retained his position on the Russian Forbes list. He has several business empires, which bring him a good income. Among them: Metalloinvest, Megafon, Kommersant.

Invested in Facebook at the stage of the birth 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

Dollar billionaires of Russia every year replenish the Forbes list. In 2016, the magazine published four new surnames previously unknown to the public. Of course, in the overall ranking they are still far behind the leaders. But who knows, maybe next year one of them will enter the 20 oligarchs of Russia.

1126 place was taken by Mikhail Shishkhanov. A fairly young entrepreneur, head of PJSC "Binbank". At 43, he already has a fortune estimated at $1.6 billion. On an equal footing with him is Gutseriev Sait-Salam, one of the members of the directors of the RussNeft company. Leonid Boguslavsky is a little behind his comrades. He ranks 1476 in the Forbes ranking and has a net worth of $1.2 billion. Together with him, the public was introduced to Kirill Shamalov, very young by oligarch standards (33 years old), he has $ 1.2 billion and shares 1476th place in the world ranking with Boguslavsky.

In addition to new faces, Forbes welcomed entrepreneurs 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 1649th place in 2016.

Those who left the rating

The consequences of the economic crisis have affected everyone, and billionaires are no exception. Of course, few of them impoverished to zero. But the losses were tangible. For many entrepreneurs, this has resulted in elimination from the list of the richest people in the world. In 2016, 19 Russians left the rating, including: Nikolai Tsvetkov (Uralsib), Mikhail Balakin (head of SU-155), Rustam Tariko (Russian Standard Bank). Their fortune is estimated at 1.1 to 1.7 billion dollars. At the moment, they have returned to the finish line and will now compete for the title of “more successful entrepreneur” with the “younger” generation of Forbes.

Young billionaires of Russia

Business develops, despite any obstacles. The most dexterous, brainy and far-sighted soar skyward, flying over millions of their fortune. At some point, a new stage begins in their lives and careers: the first billion dollars. Of course, it is difficult to reach such heights on your own without the help of an inheritance. The process of conquering the pinnacle of the glory of the oligarch can take a long time.

By the standards of Forbes, the average age of the nominees is 45 years. This is the period of maturity of a person, when behind him there is already a significant life experience and stability of the financial situation. All those who are not yet forty years old 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:

1. Shamalov Kirill (33 years old) - takes a seat on the board of directors of Sibur. In 2016, he took 64th position on the Forbes Russia rich list. His fortune is estimated at 1.2 billion dollars.
2. Vyacheslav Mirilashvili (32) is almost a billionaire, he has $0.95 billion in cash in his hands. Serves as the fund manager of Vaizra. It occupies the 85th place in the ranking of the oligarchs of Russia.
3. 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 owns a fortune of $ 600 million and takes 136th position in the Forbes Russia rating.
4. Elena Rybolovleva (27 years old) - the former wife of Dmitry Rybolovlev, received her fortune of $ 600 million thanks to an amicable agreement in the divorce process. Engaged in investments. In the Russian Forbes list, it is in 142nd place.
5. Deni Bazhaev (20 years old) is a young co-owner of the Alliance Group, the owner of $ 500 million and 155 lines in the rating of Russian oligarchs.
6. Ivan Tavrin (39 years old) - owner of $ 400 million, head of PJSC Megafon. He founded his own business. According to the results of 2015, it takes 194th place in the Forbes Russia rating.
7. Vitaly Yusufov (36) – Investor, $400 million owner. It is located on the 196th position of 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.

Russian billionaires are well-known 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, temper morale. Already next year it will be seen how they defended their cause with success and dignity and once again became one of the richest people in Russia.
