Forbes magazine - world famous printed edition 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. Already in 5 years created electronic version Russian magazine Forbes.
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 Potanin Vladimir, 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 the oligarchs of Russia 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:
| 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 |
| Carlos Slim Elu, 76 | 4 | 50 | Mexico | telecommunications |
| Bezos Jeff, 52 | 5 | 45.2 | USA | Amazon |
| Zuckerberg Mark, 31 | 6 | 44.6 | ||
| 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:
| Full name, age | Place on the Forbes Russia list | Place on the Forbes list | Wealth, billion dollars | Source of funds |
| Mikhelson Leonid, 60 years old | 1 | 60 | 14.4 | OAO Novatek |
| Fridman Mikhail, 52 years old | 2 | 63 | 13.3 | Alfa Group |
| Alisher Usmanov, 62 years old | 3 | 73 | 12.5 | USM Holdings |
| Potanin Vladimir, 55 years old | 4 | 78 | 12.1 | Interros |
| Timchenko Gennady, 63 years old | 5 | 85 | 11.4 | Bank Rossiya, Transoil, Sibur |
| Mordashov Alexey, 50 years old | 6 | 93 | 10.9 | Severstal, Power Machines |
| Vekselberg Victor, 59 years old | 7 | 98 | 10.5 | Rusal, Sulzer |
| Vladimir Lisin, 60 years old | 8 | 116 | 9.3 | UCL Holding, NLMK |
| Alekperov Vagit, 65 years old | 9 | 124 | 8.9 | Lukoil |
| Khan German, 54 years old | 10 | 128 | 8.7 | Alfa-Bank, Retail Group |
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 would not be surprising if in next year he will become the leader of Russia in equity. 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 has 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 places 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 OAO 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 good income. Among them: Metalloinvest, Megafon, Kommersant.
Invested in Facebook in its infancy 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 there comes new stage 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

History of Forbes magazine
Forbes Bertie Charles(Eng. Bertie Charles Forbes; May 14, 1880, New Deer, Aberdeenshire - May 6, 1954) - founder of Forbes magazine, journalist.
Born into a large family of a Scottish tailor. He was the sixth among ten children. Bertie started working quite early: he left school at the age of 14 and got a job as a typesetter for 75 cents a week. And he did it by mistake. He thought that he would immediately be entrusted with writing lyrics, which he always wanted. After 7 years, he learned to be a stenographer (which was a prerequisite for reporters of that time) and became a journalist in one of the local newspapers. In 1904 Forbes left Scotland. First he went to South Africa in an attempt to forget his ex-girlfriend, who married another - and then went to the USA.
At first, he worked in various financial columnists, until the famous media mogul William Hearst offered him a place in his magazine. Forbes soon made the public talk about himself, becoming famous as a powerful financial analyst who is not afraid to criticize famous and successful people.
In 1917, having saved up some money, Forbes opened his own magazine. It is noteworthy that Bertie himself wanted to call it Doers and Doings (“Deeds and their arbitrators”), but on the advice of friends he named it after himself.
For several years, Forbes has become one of the most widely read business publications in the United States. The veracity of articles, harsh criticism and sharp attacks - that's what has always distinguished the magazine from other publications. It was only after the stock market crash of 1929 that the publication found itself in a difficult situation, but even then Bertie refused to sell his offspring, sometimes paying his journalists from his own fees for articles in other magazines.
After the death of Bertie Forbes, the magazine passed to his son, Malcolm Forbes, who sought to increase his father's fortune.
Under him, in the 1960s, Jim Michaels became the editor-in-chief of the magazine. According to experts, modern business journalism was formed largely due to the editorial policy of Forbes during this period. Unlike competitive publications that published flattering materials about business structures, Forbes sought to conduct journalistic investigations into the activities of entrepreneurs. By the end of the 1970s, Forbes was ranked number one among US business publications.
And in the 1990s, already with the grandson of the founder, Stephen Forbes
the magazine began not only to cover a wider range of topics, but also began to be published in Portuguese and Japanese. Russia became the fifth country in the world where Forbes started publishing his magazine. In 2004, a license agreement was signed with Axel Springer Russia, and the first Russian issue of the magazine was published in the same year.
Every month, Forbes writes about the activities of the largest entrepreneurs, innovations in the field of business and investment, publishes lists of the wealthiest people in Russia and other ratings. For eight years on the Russian market, Forbes has become a leader in the business press segment, and the number of its readers has crossed the million mark.
Forbes magazine provides readers with stories of successful projects and their products, stories of project failures and their causes, life and work of famous entrepreneurs, causes and consequences of high-profile events, ratings of the richest people in the world, the biggest fees of show business stars and athletes, income and expenses, business tricks and PR tricks.
Forbes is the leading business magazine in the world. The magazine gained recognition thanks to its bold investigations in the business world and objective assessments of events, as well as various lists and ratings published by it. Among them, the most famous was the list of world billionaires.
In the US, Forbes is the second largest business magazine in terms of readership, with a circulation of over 900,000.
Each issue of the magazine contains more than 60 analytical articles about companies, their founders and leaders. The total audience of Forbes and its international English edition is about 5 million people worldwide. In addition, the magazine is published in local languages in Georgia, Poland, Russia, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Japan, Brazil, Korea and China. In Ukraine, the magazine is published in Russian.
For the first time, Forbes made an attempt to assess the state of leading businessmen in 1918, publishing a list of the 30 richest Americans. The leader of the first rating was John Rockefeller with a huge fortune at that time of $ 1.2 billion.

The number "400" is not accidentally placed in the name of the list: the idea was borrowed from "Mrs. Astor's List of 400" (Mrs. William Blackhouse Astor, Jr. is known for throwing balls for the richest people in American society in her mansion on Fifth Avenue in the 1890s - her mansion could accommodate no more than 400 people, hence the name).

How the top ten Forbes rankings have changed over the course of ten years
Forbes magazine annually calculates the size of the fortunes of businessmen. This year, they additionally showed how the top ten of their ranking has changed lately.
From 2004 to 2013, 295 businessmen were included in the lists of the richest, 37 of whom were participants in all 10 ratings. Since 2004, the wealth of these 37 entrepreneurs has more than tripled (86 billion - 273 billion). Over the same period, the RTS index (the main indicator of the Russian stock market) doubled. As we can see, the wealth of the rating participants grew on average 1.5 times faster than the market.
The first rating of the richest Russians was called the "Golden Hundred" and was published in May 2004. Billionaires ranked 36 on the list, topped by Khodorkovsky ($15.2 billion). Alisher Usmanov closed the top 36 billionaires, whose wealth was exactly 1 billion. After 8 years, the owner of Metalloinvest and the shareholder of MegaFon is already in the 1st position of the list, with a significant margin from the other participants in the rating. In 2013, Usmanov's fortune was 17.6 billion.
The maximum fortune for all the years of the rating was recorded in 2008 - Rusal shareholder Oleg Deripaska with $ 28.6 billion. The same year 2008 is notable for another record - the total fortune of all participants in the rating was 522 billion dollars.
In 2011, the number of billionaire businessmen in Russia amounted to more than a hundred. Then, for the first time, a list was compiled not of 100, but of the 200 richest, however, the general condition of the rating participants did not exceed the 2008 threshold. In 2013, the wealth of the rich was 488 billion, 417 billion accounted for the first hundred participants. Since 2004, the number of billionaires has risen from 36 to 110 people.
Power and money - 2013. Income rating of federal officials
The list for monitoring information on income did not include territorial divisions of federal authorities; row federal services who did not publish declarations of their employees.
In our opinion, this indicator is more representative than the official's individual income. Civil servants who do not have the right to conduct business, but remain businessmen, "rewrite" their assets to their spouses, fulfilling the formal requirements of the current legislation. But at any time, these assets can be returned to their true owner.
Rating of the most expensive top managers
The leaders of the new Forbes rating are the leaders of state-owned companies. We limited the study to 70 largest enterprises by revenue for 2011, excluding state corporations and companies managed by owners (Lukoil, Severstal, Rusal). The top five are heads of exclusively state-owned companies.
The rating is headed by the President - Chairman of the Board of VTB Group Andrey Kostin. According to experts, he earns a total of about $30 million a year. The total remuneration of key VTB managers in 2011 also amounted to a record $194 million. most likely receives abroad, in particular in Cyprus, where VTB has subsidiary bank Russian Commercial Bank (RCB). In 2011, the group's managers received an additional $40 million from a Cypriot bank in dividends alone.
Head of Gazprom Alexey Miller took second place in the ranking with an estimate of $25 million.
But the compensation of the head of Sberbank German Gref- $15 million - two times lower than that of Kostin. In 2011, Sberbank's net profit amounted to $10.75 billion. Therefore, Gref could earn almost $8 million additionally.
Head of Gazprom Neft Alexander Dyukov($8 million) and CEO of Aeroflot Vitaly Saveliev($2.5 million).
In the top ten, four places went to CEOs of private companies. sixth - Dmitry Razumov($12 million, Onexim), eighth - Ivan Streshinsky($10 million, USM Holding), ninth - Vladimir Strzhalkovsky($10 million, Norilsk Nickel), tenth - Mikhail Shamolin($10 million, AFK Sistema). All these enterprises, by the way, belong to businessmen from the Forbes list. In the ranking of the highest paid CEOs, the only woman is the head of " base element» Gulzhan Moldazhanova($4 million, 23rd).
Rating of the largest non-public companies in Russia for 2012
According to the publication, the total turnover of 200 private companies increased by 27.5% and reached a record 10.2 trillion rubles. Growth marked not only large companies, but also agricultural holdings, car dealers and many others.

So, according to Forbes, the leader is the Kazan oil refining group TAIF - a diversified holding based on petrochemistry and oil refining (39 companies, including Nizhnekamskneftekhim and Kazanorgsintez).
Moscow's largest construction contractor in Russia, Stroygazconsulting, took second place in the ranking. The main customers of the company are the structures of Gazprom, Transneft, Lukoil, Rosavtodor, the newspaper notes.
