The total wealth of Russian billionaires rose 14% over the year, to $576.8 billion.

In 2024, Russia sees a record increase in dollar billionaires. This is proven by the annual ranking of the richest people in the world, compiled by Forbes magazine.

So, this year it included 125 billionaires from Russia – this number is a record. This is more than before the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the tightening of anti-Russian sanctions.

The previous record for the number of Russians in the list of the richest businessmen in the world was recorded in 2021 – then it included 123 people.

Immediately after the invasion of Ukraine began, the number of Russian billionaires fell sharply – to 88 people in 2022. In 2023 there were 110.

Forbes said that the number of Russian billionaires could be much larger, but ten of the richest businessmen renounced Russian citizenship after the start of the war and now appear in the ranks as representatives of other countries.

Forbes named LUKOIL owner Vagit Alekperov the richest Russian with a fortune of $28.6 billion.

The total wealth of Russian billionaires increased by 14% over the year – to $576.8 billion. But this figure is still lower than the record recorded in 2021 – then the total capital of 123 Russian billionaires was estimated at $ 606.2 billion.

Let’s remember that earlier the European Union expelled the co-founder Yandex Arkady Volozhi from the sanctions list. The EU Court rejected the appeal of Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, he will remain on the sanctions list.
