Forbes magazine is a world-famous print publication 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. After 5 years, an electronic version of the Russian Forbes magazine was created.

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 affect serious political and economic topics and also have a significant contribution of 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. total amount 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:

top ten billionaires in the world
Information about the oligarch Place in the Forbes ranking Wealth, billion US dollars Country of Residence Source of funds

Allison Larry, 71 7 43.6 Oracle
Bloomberg Michael, 74 8 40 Bloomberg L.P.

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:

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 won't be surprising if he becomes Russia's leader in net worth next year. 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 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 holding " base element". The entrepreneur dropped 624 places down in the Forbes World Billionaires Ranking. More than four billion were irretrievably lost.

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.

Those who left the rating

Effects economic crisis 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.

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, a new stage begins 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?

How we thought

Forbes has been evaluating the world's largest fortunes for decades. To do this, the journal uses a specially developed methodology, the basis of which is as follows:

1. Our assessment of the state of an entrepreneur is the value of his assets: shares of companies, land, real estate, as well as personal property, etc.

2. All public companies are valued by market capitalization. Closed companies are evaluated on the basis of information on sales volumes, profits, equity; a comparison is made with companies of similar performance that are traded on the exchange or in the recent past were the object of purchase and sale. We try to be conservative and evaluate the property of entrepreneurs according to the principle “at least not cheaper”.

3. In this list, the price of companies is fixed as of February 12, 2016. The age of the participants in the list is as of April 15, 2016.
