Russia's billionaires, who are ashamed not to know by sight

Statistics show that Forbs is one of the most popular magazines among women. This is not a magazine at all, but a source of extremely important information. Want to find out about the most enviable fiancés and just interesting men? All the billionaires of Russia are represented on one page of the Russian version of Forbes.

Alisher Usmanov

The list of "Billionaires of Russia" ("Forbes", 2014) has already been published, and the first place in it reliably is occupied by the same person who headed last year's rating. This is Alisher Usmanov - a businessman, 60 years old, married (unfortunately). For the third year he has been consistently ranked first in the rating of Russia's richest businessmen.

Who would have thought thirty years ago that a business on plastic bags could give such a wonderful start? Currently, his name should be connected with Megafon, Mail, Kommersant Publishing House, Muz-TV TV channel, Arsenal London football club and much more. The wife of Alisher Usmanov is no less well known than himself. This is a talented and venerable coach in rhythmic gymnastics Irina Viner.

Many athletes, brought up by her, later became Olympic champions, for example, Alina Kabaeva, Elena Kanaeva, Yuri Barsukov. The pair of Wiener and Usmanov live together from the beginning of the 90s of the last century. They are a wonderful example of the fact that big money does not exclude mutual love and devotion.

Vagit Alekperov

The rating of billionaires of Russia mentions the name of Vagit Alekperov since 2005. Since then, his position in the first line of the list has changed, but invariably remained very stable. Since the 80s he has been engaged in gas and oil. Refueling at the gas station "Lukoil", you buy gasoline from Vagit Alekperov.

The son of the oil magnate is Yusuf Alikperov, a young man of 24 years with a good education and incredible potential. Being one of the most enviable bachelors of Russia, he does not forget to carefully study his father's business, master the basics of technology, the basics of production and management.

Mikhail Fridman

Billionaires in Russia in 2013 have in their ranks and Mikhail Fridman. He laid the foundation for his business in his student years. In those distant times he arranged discos, concerts, author's evenings, and sometimes just sold theater tickets. In the future there was a business of washing windows, and delivering food to the public.

But today, Mikhail Fridman is the seventh in the bank rating (in terms of assets), Alfa-Bank, our beloved mobile operator Vimpelcom (the Beeline brand), as well as almost half of the business of the large food retailer X5 Retail Group (Pyaterochka trademark) .

In his spare time, a businessman plays chess, watches his favorite movies, and also makes fascinating helicopter walks. Friedman does not like injustice. Trying to restore her in relation to those who have not yet been lucky in life, he does a lot of charity.

Vladimir Potanin

The list of Russian billionaires also includes another important person - Vladimir Potanin. For a long time MGIMO has the reputation of a factory of high-class professionals. The distant year 1983 was no exception, and the future General Manager of Norilsk Nickel, Vladimir Potanin, received a pass to a great life.

After the Olympics in Sochi, his personal brainchild - the ski resort "Rosa Khutor" - is considered the most fashionable place for recreation of sports and progressive young people.

Mikhail Prokhorov

When it comes to an attractive male athletic build, an increase of 204 cm, first of all come to mind basketball players. But in vain. Because you can have an increase of two meters, an attractive appearance, a sports body and not be a basketball player, but an excellent entrepreneur. We are talking, of course, about the amazing Mikhail Prokhorov. Russia's billionaires can be proud, having got into their ranks such an amazing person.

Fame for Prokhorov came after the presidential race of 2012. His follow-up campaign was pleasant and very exciting. At least, that's what women of almost all age categories thought.

Interestingly, the charming billionaire is still single. He is officially in search of a companion of life, but ... not his wife. Prokhorov is deeply convinced that people get married only because of everyday unsettledness. And from this side, its rear are reliably protected.

By the way, surrounded by the close attention of many women, deepened into business and politics, billionaire Prokhorov still found time for basketball. True, only as the owner of the club "Nets".

Roman Abramovich

There is one old Jewish anecdote. Rabinovich shows the married couple his dacha, put up for sale, with the words: "Call your price, we will laugh with all our heart, and then we'll talk about the matter!"

But Roman Abramovich does not sell the dacha, but buys. In modern conditions, the prospects for development and business are at least uncertain. Therefore, all the billionaires of Russia invest in stable and expensive real estate. Roman Abramovich, as a visionary entrepreneur, among them. The authoritative newspaper The New York Post has publicized his deal on a posh six-story mansion in Manhattan.

The admirers of Carrie Bradshaw got another reason for the fetish and insanity in Manhattan - the neighborhood with the Russian billionaire in a white mansion. However, secular lionesses dream of marrying this prince are not cherished, because they are afraid of his somewhat peculiar nature. Still fresh memories of a scandalous divorce from the ex-wife and mother of his five children, Irina Abramovich. In addition, the situation of Dasha Zhukova, who gave birth to the prolific businessman of two children, remains strangely uncertain today.

As they say, whatever the billionaires of Russia are enjoying, just to make us happy with our eccentric antics. And we with pleasure and interest will continue to monitor their progress in business and personal life.
