Despite the crisis, the richest clans in Russia not only did not become poorer, but also continued to grow wealthier. According to the Forbes rating of the richest families in Russia in 2016, the combined amount of overwork acquired grew from $ 18 billion to $ 25 billion.
10. Mutsoevs - $ 950 million
The rating of the richest clans of the Russian Federation begins with modest millionaires - the Mutsoev family, consisting of two brothers and their sons. But once Zelimkhan with Amirkhan began with sewing down jackets. Now their family group "Regions" is among the ten kings of Russian real estate.
9. The Magomedovs - 1.15 billion dollars
The Magomedovs began, like almost everything on this list, with the oil trade and banking business. In 2002, Magomed went into politics, becoming a senator, and Ziyaudin continued to do business. At the moment, he owns the oil and gas company YATEK.
8. The Rakhimkulovs - $ 1.2 billion
The Rakhimkulov family has been closely associated with Hungary since 1994, when Interprokom, headed by the head of the Megdet family, received 10% of the capital of a local gas trader. As a result, until his return to Russia in 2008, Megdet was the richest resident of Hungary. And his sons chose to stay there. The family’s condition consists of shares in a Hungarian bank and an oil company, as well as Russian Gazprom and VTB.
7. The Bazhaevs - $ 1.25 billion
Two years ago, the family company sold its oil company, but two of its members - Musa and his nephew Denis - still had a 40% stake in Russian Platinum. The older brother, Mavlit, retired.
6. Sarkisovs - 1.4 billion dollars
The basis of the state of the Sarkisovs is a stake in the RESO-Garantia insurance company. A pleasant addition is the abundance of elite overseas property, which is located on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
5. The Shaimievs - $ 1.7 billion
The richest people in Tatarstan, the brothers Radik and Airat, began to make a fortune when their father was the first president of the republic. Now they jointly own 19.5% of the TAIF oil and gas group. With the rise in oil prices, the state of the brothers also increased (by $ 300 million this year).
4. The Shamalovs - $ 2.4 billion
Nikolai Shamalov was awarded the title “Putin’s personal friend”, and his son Kirill was Putin’s son-in-law. Nikolai owns a 10% stake in Rossiya Bank, while Kirill owns a little more than one fifth of Sibur’s shares.
3. Ananievs - $ 2.5 billion
The condition of the Ananyevs is on two pillars - Promsvyazbank and Renaissance banks. Also included here are Technoserv, PSN Group and two large Moscow printing houses.
2. Rotenbergs - $ 2.8 billion
We say "Rotenbergs" - we mean "Gazprom contracts." Created by the brothers Arkady and Boris, Stroygazmontazh became the largest oil and gas contractor in the Russian Federation. This year, Arkady managed to grab a few tidbits, such as laying the Power of Siberia pipeline (198 billion rubles) and the construction of the Kerch Bridge (338 billion rubles). It is only the US sanctions policy that complicates the life of the oil business titans, but family members found a way out - they transfer parts of capital from one to another until the sanction hammer falls on the next one in the chain. So Arkady sold his shares in the companies to his son Igor, and the nephew transferred the family’s common assets in Finland. But the United States is not asleep, so now, apparently, it is time for both Igor Arkadievich and Roman Borisovich to immediately procreate offspring.
1. The Gutseriev family
Over the past year, the fortune of the vast Gutseriev family grew 2.5 times and came close to the $ 10 billion bar. Although the family is large, only three people have a share in the business - the head of the family and the founder of BIN, Mikhail, his younger brother and nephew. Mikhail owns a larger share of his marital status - he has 70% of the shares in oil companies and a little more than 50% in finance and real estate. The elder brother of Mikhail, who once served as head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ingushetia, as well as the son of Mikhail, are not involved in business; Michael believes that the son must first prove that he is worthy. The main role in enriching the family was played by the BIN group (oil companies, two banks, a financial group from pension funds, hotels, radio stations, etc.). Last year, BIN transactions amounted to $ 1.5 billion.
