For a long time, the Russians will not forget the call of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to “hold on” when there is no money. But there are people who adhere well without any appeals, earning millions and even billions of dollars. A list of such people - the richest in Russia - was published by Forbes magazine. To get into their number you need to have at least 500 million dollars. And a pass in the top 10 "costs" more than $ 12 billion. Introducing the top ten richest Russians in 2017.

10. Victor Vekselberg

Capital - 13.2 billion dollars.

The talent of the entrepreneur at Melnichenko manifested itself in his young years. In the 90s, he opened in a dormitory of Moscow State University, where at that time he studied, a currency exchange office. Then a whole currency network appeared, and from it MDM Bank was “born”. In 1997, a company appeared, created by Melnichenko and Sergey Popov. She bought up a number of production assets that served as the basis for SUEK, TMK and EuroChem. Currently, SUEK and Eurochem, as well as the energy holding company SGK, bring Melnichenko the main income.

6. Vagit Alekperov

The state is 14.5 billion dollars.

One of the richest Russian entrepreneurs moved from the 9th line, which he occupied in the ranking of 2016, to 6th place. And this means that the affairs of the Lukoil oil company controlled by him are more than successful. In 2016, Alekperov received $ 590 million in Lukoil dividends.

Usmanov commented on a piece of the investigation film by Alexei Navalny regarding him, saying that the land plot was transferred as part of an exchange deal to another plot destined for his sister.

2. Alexey Mordashov

The state is 17.5 billion dollars.

He has shares and stakes in a number of large and prosperous companies, such as the European travel concern TUI, the Rossiya Bank T2RTK Holding, the Nord Gold mining company, etc.

1. Leonid Mikhelson

Capital - 18.4 billion dollars.

For the second year in a row, the name of Michelson is at the top of the Forbes list of the richest people in Russia.
