Forbes Bertie Charles(Eng. Bertie Charles Forbes; May 14, 1880, New Deer, Aberdeenshire - May 6, 1954) - founder of Forbes magazine, journalist.
Was born in large family 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 received 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.
At the beginning of the 20th century, various ratings of the wealthiest people in the United States often appeared in the American media, and Forbes magazine began to practice this, which later received the laurels of the pioneer of the method of constantly ranking the richest Americans. The first list, published by Forbes on March 2, 1918, included 30 names. The rating was headed by John Rockefeller, whose fortune at that time was estimated at $ 1.2 billion (this amount is the equivalent of the current $ 14 billion).
Since 1986, The World's Billionaires list of the world's billionaires has been published in the magazine.
The first Russian millionaires (Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vladimir Potanin, Vladimir Gusinsky, Rem Vyakhirev, Vagit Alekperov) appeared on this list in 1997. In 1998, only Vladimir Potanin, who owned a fortune of $ 1.6 billion, remained in the Forbes rating. Over the next two years, none of the Russian entrepreneurs managed to get into this rating, but already in 2001, eight Russians were on the Forbes list at once, in In 2002 - 7, in 2003 - 17, and in 2004 - 25. In 2005, for the first time, billionaires from other CIS countries were included in the Forbes list.
In 2010, the top three billionaires in the world included the family of 70-year-old Carlos Slim Elu ($53.5 billion, telecommunications, Mexico), 54-year-old Bill Gates ($53 billion, high-tech, USA) and 79-year-old Warren Buffett ($47 billion, investments and insurance, USA). There were 62 Russians among the billionaires in 2010, almost twice as many as in 2009. The 2010 event was for the first time the absence of Boris Berezovsky in the rating. Among the billionaires of the world in 2011 there were already 99 Russians, about the same number in 2012 - 96.
Forbes 400
Starting September 13, 1982, Forbes magazine publishes a list of the four hundred richest Americans - Forbes 400, a rating of the wealthiest US citizens in the modern sense.
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).
Forbes 400 list of clubs
Since 1993, Microsoft founder Bill Gates has been recognized as the undisputed richest American: in 2009, his fortune was estimated at $50 billion, in 2010 at $54 billion, in 2011 at $59 billion, in 2012 at $66 billion. The rating is updated in September of each year. .
The wealthiest investors in the sports industry included two Russians, as well as the former prime minister of Italy, richest man Ukraine and opponent of Alisher Usmanov.
Buying sports clubs has long been considered a whim of billionaires. In recent years, the situation has changed: investments in the industry are increasingly based on clear business calculations. Sponsorship contracts, the sale of rights to television broadcasts, the construction of stadiums - all these articles attract everyone to the sport. more money, and hence the owners of large fortunes.
This list includes only participants in the Forbes rating who invest impressive funds in projects estimated at at least $100 million. The richest man on the planet, Carlos Slim, for example, has three football clubs, but none of them brings in revenue tangible on the scale of the Mexican tycoon's business empire.
Billionaires' favorite sport is American football. Immediately 19 participants in the rating invest in NFL teams. Following are basketball with 15 wealthy fans, football, baseball and hockey. The top five included:

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.
Territorial subdivisions are not included in the list for monitoring income information federal bodies 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.
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 a subsidiary bank Russian Commmercial 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 net profit Sberbank 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).
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.
Companies in the ranking are ranked based on 2011 revenue data. The list includes companies whose shares are not listed on the stock market. According to the publication, the rating does not include banks, insurance, leasing, investment and other financial companies.
Yes, by 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.
Megapolis, a wholesaler of tobacco products in Russia, which has exclusive contracts with Japan Tobacco International, Philip Morris, Imperial Tobacco, is ranked third in the rating. Sales network of "Megapolis" covers 150 thousand Russian outlets and 50 thousand Ukrainian.
The revenue of the company "Integrated Energy Systems" by 10%, which allowed IES to become the fourth in the Forbes rating.
Further settled: the largest producer of iron ore raw materials "Metalloinvest", the petrochemical company "Sibur Holding", the construction company "Stroygazmontazh", which gets the main projects of "Gazprom", as well as "Russneft" and "MegaFon".
Forbes calculated the income of Russian celebrities
This year, Forbes ranked the stars for the tenth time. And even before all the calculations began - the creative income of celebrities for the year, the number of mentions in the media and requests in Yandex - it was possible to say with certainty who would be at the top of the list.
At the top of the list of fifty "most" in Russia was tennis player Maria Sharapova. According to Forbes, for the year (from June 2012 to May 2013), her income was $ 29 million.
In second place is the singer Grigory Leps, who earned $ 15 million and a lot of love from fans who often searched for him in Yandex.
The third place with an income of $16.5 million was taken by the artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater Valery Gergiev.
The fourth and fifth lines from last year remained unchanged - Philip Kirkorov ($9.7 million) and hockey player Alexander Ovechkin ($16.8 million).
Singer Stas Mikhailov (two years in a row he led the rating), TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, singer Nikolai Baskov, model Natalia Vodianova and St. Petersburg Zenit player Andrey Arshavin took places from six to ten.
Forbes magazine also publishes other famous lists, among which:
The list is divided by representatives of seven categories: billionaires, business, lifestyle (entertainment and fashion), media, non-profit organizations, politics and technology. The methodology takes into account three main factors, the weight of which varies depending on the category: money, presence in the media and influence on the industry.
The 2013 list includes nine heads of state, including the leader, German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Total countries GDP, which is ruled by the rating participants, is $ 11.8 trillion. The revenue of 24 companies led by women from the Forbes list is approaching $ 900 billion.
10 participants have not left the list for all 10 years of its existence, among them are TV personality Oprah Winfrey and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Forbes was considering models that would be available in the US market next year. For one reason or another, journalists “weeded out” McLaren and Spyker, but included Porsche, which will appear only in 2013. Leading positions in this list are occupied by:
Russia became the fifth country in the world where Forbes started publishing his magazine. The first Russian issue of the magazine was published in April 2004. The magazine was published by ZAO Axel Springer Russia, a subsidiary of the German media holding Axel Springer AG. Trademark owner - Forbes Inc.
The monthly Russian Forbes writes about the activities of the largest entrepreneurs, innovations in business and investment, publishes lists of the wealthiest people in Russia and other ratings.
Forbes informants are top managers of large companies, politicians, newsmakers, etc.
The audience of one issue of the publication, according to the data provided on the publisher's website, is 769,600 people. Circulation of the magazine Russian territory, according to TNS Russia, amounted to 140 thousand copies from September 2008 to February 2009; the base circulation of the main magazine in 2012, according to the publisher's own data, is 100,000 copies.
In 2004, Paul Khlebnikov was appointed editor-in-chief of the magazine.
In May of the same year, Russian Forbes published a list of the 100 richest citizens of Russia. Khlebnikov was killed on July 9, 2004 near the Forbes editorial building in Moscow. From August 30, 2004 to March 2011, Maxim Kashulinsky was the editor-in-chief, from May 16, 2011 - Elizaveta Osetinskaya.
In the summer of 2007, the publication tried to acquire the Rodionov Publishing House. On November 9, 2009, the website of the Russian magazine Forbes was launched.
Today, the Russian edition of Forbes looked into the pocket of officials and found out that, for example, for the head of a department, a normal salary is now 300 thousand rubles. The same is now being paid in the White House, because government officials were outraged when they learned about the increase in salaries in the Kremlin, which occurred immediately after Putin returned to the presidency. “Increasing the salaries of administration employees produced the effect of an exploding bomb in the government. Since the summer, nothing else has been talked about in the White House except about this injustice. ” These words were spoken by an anonymous Forbes interlocutor...
